GIVEAWAY Summer is over! .. so have some bunting to cheer yourself up!

At the moment ( start of Sept ) the weather is still fab BUT that'll be changing now summer is gone ( sob sob ...) however to keep you going through the winter months I am giving away some bunting !

The details are on my facebook page AudreysCat  so head on over for a chance to win  a 3m 9 flag length of bunting made from these fabrics . Winner will be chosen on Sept 30th 2013.

Out with the 'Old' in with the New 'Old' ( by which in mean new vintage fabric goodies..)

It's that time of year again! Bye Bye 2012... HELLO 2013 !

So I've new ideas to explore  - a idea about flowers, new owl ,cat , rabbit and frog designs to play with and develop, new bunting ideas, more patchwork cushions and possibly artwork - all with my vintage fabrics. I'm also going to relaunch my website to be the hub for my custom orders and a place to showcase all my vintage fabric.

This means I have to clear a little out of my existing shops - so have a look in my sale sections - at the moment there are about 50 items on sale!

Items like these cushions covers for only £10 on Etsy Etsy Sale Section

And even a few mice like this one in Folksy ( plus LOADS of other things ) Folksy Sale

There's a big variety to choose from : bags, mice, cats, birds, aprons, bunting, purses, brooches, cushions, and some Christmas items too :)

Hope to see you there !

Christmas Presents ? a solution

SO you need a present for your loved one - too busy? no ideas? ( guys it may  be cheeky but I'm looking at you...). For £25 to £40 you can get a bundle of cool stuff from me!

 Buy some thing to put gifts in - I have bags ( from £9) OR fabulous Christmas stocking like this ( £9-£14)

THEN  add something to go in it !
Like my mice at £9

or maybe a brooch £4.50 to £5.50 - like these owl ones

Or maybe some fabulous bunting  !  only £15

As an example all the items above would cost you only £40 plus P&P


SO  that's pretty easy eh? totally OOAK and Handmade here in the UK 
Have a look through my shops and see what YOU can come up with - or ask me for some suggestions.

(If you buy from both of my shops but want your items in one delivery I will refund postage to ensure you don't over pay :)

Thrifting Success

Went over to Siddington Village Hall for the table top sale on Sunday - just for a little trip out and expecting just a tea and cake session -  and bought some exciting bits and pieces . Met the dapper and slightly cheeky Laurence Llewelyn-bowen and bought a great tray and tea cosy from his charming wife Jackie and their daughters ( Jackie being the designer of these products). I think the tray ( the design is Verandah ) looks particularly fine with my grey and blue poole china. Since the L-B's moved to the area they have been very involved in local activities which is rather super. 

Met another lovely couple who sold us a set of 4 of these rather fabby chairs ( I know you are shocked - not - how COULD I resist them! ) and some sweet japanese style tins .... and WOW look at the 3 china cats - they will be featuring in some of my product photos I think... (the bunting is mine - plenty of that available in my Etsy and Folksy shops !)

Making A LOT of bunting

This week I've been making LOADS of bunting .... all of it featuring vintage fabrics . I think I've made about 200 pennents/flags ... I think I'll have a bit of a break from it now! these will be listed in Oct - I've a coffee morning to attend and an 'Open house' event planned so we'll see it any of it sells here first!

Next week .... I will be making more Christmas stockings! many will match with fabric used in this bunting :)
