I'm working on a new project. I went shopping the other day and picked up all of these treats. I got the cups in a mixture of pound shops and charity shops. I really want to get more short flowery cups, so I'll be keeping my eyes peeled in future. I was delighted with the box of them that I got, and it was only half price too. Keep an eye on the blog next week for the finished product of my newest crafty scheme.
After seeing this post about display tips for markets and shows I decided I wanted to incorporate a suitcase into my display. I looked around for a smallish second hand one but I couldn't find one. Instead I came across this blue flowery one in Guineys for €20, it's perfect, the right size and the right colour. I might line this inside of it with red polka dot material, as at the moment it is black, which is a bit ugly.
By the way I used this free software to make these polaroid pictures from snapshots I made on my canon. It's a pretty cute program, it puts a polaroid camera on your desktop and you can watch the pictures develop.
I've been a busy little bee trying to get my new designs done for my pocket mirrors. It was this time last year that I put in my big order and they sold like hot cakes over the Christmas season, I suppose people thought they were good stocking fillers. I have decided to move away from the designs using models faces as they don't sell as well, so I've gone for the more pop/kitsch stuff, which is always lots of fun to design. I've kept about 10 of the old designs and added 35 new ones. I was a lot of work to get this all done, but a wide variety will mean they will sell faster. I ordered a total of 500, and 200 large badges with the same designs. I found when I was selling the mirrors some people were very disappointed that they weren't badges, so hopefully these will sell well too.
