Button Collars




I mentioned before that I have stopped making crafts for sale. I do still have some leftover from when I had a market stall and was selling in craft shops around the country. I had just made a bunch of these button collars as I was coming to the end of Nice day Designs. Which probably sounds a bit strange, but I was always working on new designs, and this was one of the last to make it past the prototype phase, but I finished them too late to really try to sell them properly. When I was tidying my studio I found a whole box of them that needed the clasps sewn on, but apart from that they were ready to go. 


Instead of the price tag of €30 which I had calculated for them I'm not selling them at €15, just because I'd be happy to see them sell rather than have a bunch of new necklaces for my personal collection-not even I need that many button necklaces!!

Here's a few photos, but if you'd like to see the full range just head over to the Facebook album and leave a comment if you would like to purchase one, I am happy to ship worldwide.

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

My Return to The Milk Market


My craft stall has returned to the Milk Market at long last! Since Christmas, and especially since I started organising the Limerick Craft & Design shop, I lessened my work load by doing my Bazaar Tales bookstall at the market. It made life a lot simpler, but there was a large part of me that really missed doing crafts. But as of two weeks ago I'm doing my Nice Day Designs stand on Sundays.

It's great to get feedback again, and it's lovely to see some of my regular customers coming back. Sunday is still a fairly quiet day at the market, but they are making efforts to get more traders and they have also started doing Tai Chi for only €2 every Sunday(12-1pm). This week there will be a flower show with lots more stands, and hopefully the crowds will come down too. If my delivery of badge parts arrives then I will also be doing badge making with the kids(big and small). This works very well on event days in the market as a lot of families come down. Kids can draw their own picture and I make it into a badge for them, then and there(it's €3 for one or 3 for €6)

Here are some pictures of the new stock that I've been working on over the past few months.
