To Market, To Eco Market

This Saturday I'm off to the BrisStyle Eco Market and can't wait to pull out a lot of kimono pieces, going back to the roots of where this brand began, giving vintage kimonos a new life.  As well as pieces like my bamboo and fabric teapot and kokeshi brooches, I'll have my very last kimono embroidered crane and some kanzashi-style brooches.

Of course, if you're wanting to play with a bit of these gorgeous fabrics yourself, I'll have suitcases full of fabric pieces and full kimonos for you to rummage through too.

Massive Kimono Fabric Sale This Weekend

With the big moving date getting much closer, the BrisStyle Eco Market couldn't have come at a better time.  This Saturday, I'll be having a big sale on lots of gorgeous kimonos, kimono fabrics, Japanese cottons, Japanese papers, magazines and clearance jewellery stock that I can't take with me to the new studio.  I'll even have a large box of free fabric that needs a good home.

For the last hour of the market, from 1 to 2pm, all of the destash stock (jewellery not included) will be reduced to half price of the already on-sale prices.  

A sneak peek of some of the fabric that needs a good, loving home....

Hope to see you there!

Eco Market Packing

The car is getting packed for tomorrow's BrisStyle Indie Eco Market and I'm very excited!

Here's a sneak peek of some of what is going with me....

I'm having a huge seconds sale.  Working with resin, sometimes I get a stubborn bubble or a speck of dust, but yet the piece still looks very pretty.  Tomorrow I'll have bowls of pendants, rings as well as a few hairclips, earrings and brooches....

As well as my bamboo teapot, kokeshi and origami brooches, I have a few, well let's not call them "old" girls, because no girl likes to be called "old", but rather some kokeshi with the older  hairstyle, they'll be on sale.

Also on the jewellery table will be a few of my new earrings, all made from recycled stainless steel and recycled silver.

And then we hit the fabric, lots and lots and lots of fabric...

There will be suitcases full of vintage kimono fabric pieces....

And another full of kimono offcuts that can be bought by the gram.

 I'll have full kimonos as well...

And be destashing some of my Japanese cotton fabrics and papers...

Now I just hope it all fits in the car!

My Creative Space

Tea anyone?

Today it's all about the "eco" as I'm busily working on bamboo and vintage fabric brooches for the BrisStyle Eco Market this Saturday.  I'm putting the final touches on teapots, my Zen Garden Circles, and some Kokeshi dolls.  I promise then to finally get some in the Etsy shop next week!

Once I'm done with these it's on to ironing and pricing more fabric for the fabric sale...

If you're in town come down and say "hi" at the market, we'll be on rain or shine, all cosied up in the hall if need be.

For more creative spaces, Kootoyoo is the place to go.
