Crafty Vintage, Helmshore Textile Museum, Rossendale
Crafty Vintage came to Helmshore, Rossendale recently, and the weather was scorchio !! We soaked up the atmosphere and the cocktails (they had some cracking non-alcoholic ones!!) in the historic mills, saw the machinery at work, whilst enjoying the nostalgia and finest display of vintage, collectibles and handmade wares, vintage cars and street food. It was a great opportunity for the many local artists, crafters and collectors to meet the local villagers, as well as each other.
The Fayre included some fab quirky gifts that I didn’t really need, but I really wanted, cocktails served in wellies (not the people serving, the actual glasses), street food, cookery demo’s and our local enchanting celebrity singer Kiki Deville: http://www.kikideville.com
I obviously fell in love with the Herdy sheep range from www.tipsycake.co.uk which is down to my unhealthy obsession with everything sheep related. I am also on the lookout for something a bit different for my little unborn (Charlie Brown, to be confirmed) and stumbled across the fabulously talented Bella and Mr Tom and bought Charlie his first pair of spaceship pants!! www.facebook.com/pages/Bella-Mr-Tom
Baby brain has well and truly kicked in this week with an array of new irrational non-related thoughts and anxieties which I know are irrational, and yet I struggle to convince myself of the more logical and reasoned answer to questions such as:-.
· In this warm weather, will the sheep have enough water ?
· Why does the satnav not re-correct itself even when turned upside down ?
· Why do you never see any baby pigeons, am I just looking in the wrong places ?
· Why doesn’t glue stick to the inside of the bottle ?
· Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours?
T This is a selection of my mixed up thoughts....there's plenty more where that came from!!
I'm still really busy at the moment, filling my time with lots of friends and visiting. It's taking me quite a while to sort the craft stuff out Nonie has given me...but I'm getting there. Anyone interested, then check out my ebay site, and my Etsy. Just bear with me....especially with the Etsy, it's a new venture!! If you need any help though, please drop me a line (if I can't answer at least I know someone crafty who can!). All the links are here:
