Coming up soon is the Magpie Market Summer fair, at The Hub, which is at the top of Edinburgh’s Royal Mile.

I’m really looking forward to it for 3 main reasons:

1. I have a stall and it’s always fun to get out for the day to talk to my customers.

2. It’s a really great event with more than 30 hand-picked designers from Edinburgh and beyond and it’s held in an amazing venue, which was formerly a church.

3. There’s a pop-up cafe in the middle of the hall, which sells tea & coffee as well as a delicious selection of tasty treats. Last time I couldn’t resist indulging in a huge cupcake, with Magpie themed black and white butter cream icing – yum.

So all in all it’s a pretty good way to spend a Sunday afternoon! Make sure you mark the date on your calender ;-)

There’s lots of great photos of the vendors, as well as pictures from their last Fair on Magpie’s facebook page.

The materialised store is now open!

The brand new shop is hosted by Big Cartel  and can be easily found by clicking ‘shop‘ above.  This new venture will run along side the well established materialised etsy shop, where you can already find a selection of my fabric purses, brooches, and other textile goodies.

Until further notice there’s free delivery within the UK and a low flat rate for Europe and the USA.  There will be a little extra gift included with the first three orders from the new shop. Browsers are most welcome!

Sometime in the not too distant future my partner Robb and I are heading off to the wilds of the Scottish Highlands for a couple of days. Its our first trip in our shiny, yellow VW camper, which Robb has painstakingly restored…can’t wait!

In the meantime I’ve been daydreaming…and browsing on Etsy – Just look at all these camper/caravan inspired goodies !
