so much prettiness...

Hello lovelies!!  How are you?  Haven't got long tonight...on deadline to make a lampshade that a friend has commissioned...as usual I have left it to the last minute!  But in a weak moment I checked my blog roll and look what Alice Apple has been up to...


 




 Sooooooooo pretty!!! They are postcards and are available in her Etsy shop - though I think a few of the designs may have sold out already - I love them all!!

Thank you all so much for all the amazingly supportive comments on my last post - I'm so sorry I haven't had a chance to reply to them all but we've been hit by more illness - will it never end?!  

The fabric sale went really well and it will definitely be a regular thing.  I had a great time and met lots of lovely people;  I got a real buzz from the happy smiles on their faces as they left clutching piles of my gorgeous fabric!  And best of all I sold enough to justify buying more fabric to top up my stock - Yay!!!  So here's a sneak peek at some of the lovely new bits I've bought...


Yikes what a treat - it appears that I now have the beginnings of a job - buying fabric!  And the best bit is that I can sell a bit and keep a bit for myself - I'm in heaven.  I have set myself a deadline of end of March for getting my first listings into the Etsy shop so I'm going to be busy for the next few weeks - fingers crossed for no more germs!

I hope you've had a good week and have a nice weekend planned...I'm popping down to the seaside to visit a good friend - on my own. She has a free and easy lifestyle with no kids...I can't quite imagine what we'll get up to but I'm most excited about the prospect of a lie-in!  Have fun whatever you do won't you?  I will be!

 Rachel xx

    Good to hear everything went so smoothly at the market! Happy to hear you've enjoyed yourself! What a pleasure you were able to buy some new fabric, they look wonderful!! You seem to get a hold of such prettiness so easily, but I bet it isn't right?! Enjoy your weekend at the seaside and catch some nice salty air (love that!!) I'm celebrating my 36th Saturday. Sweetheart has been secretive for days now, haha. Have fun Rach! :D X

      I hear ya Karen, although an ocean and some amount of land to cross was my issue!! Looks like we'll have to wait until March for the Etsy shop! Hazel x

    Guess who has just brought her own little bit of Alice Apple! Couldn't resist the cats!
    Looking forward to your little shop, always on the lookout, your fabric is a little different to mine and I'm need to try something a little different! :) x
