Meet the Mafia

Photos of the Glasgow Craft Mafia Launch party, these are all courtesy of other more organised mafia members who actually remembered to bring their cameras - you can see more on the Mafia's Flickr group site. The top image features cushions from clare nicolson, jewelry from Hannah Zakari, t-boo and a fascinator from cotton candy corsage.

Second image sports more jewelry, a broach from asking for trouble and my much beloved old sewing machine making a rather lovely prop.

Third image is a knitted bag from ding dong designs and one of my shoppers.

Next up beautiful illustrations and doll kits from little robot and quirky crafts from miso funky,

The stunning pink clutch is by dazed dorothy and the picture above gives an idea of what the party looked like in full swing, It does unfortunatly capture me helping myself to a rather large glass pear cider....

The party was good fun and has hopefully helped to spread the word about the mafia and our christmas markets, the first of which is on Thurday evening 5-9 at the Universal on Sauchiehall Lane.

Other exciting news this week, I was asked to be a featured seller on Etsy for the next few days, you can read the interview here

Glasgow Craft Mafia

One of the newest additions to the Craft Mafia Family is the Glasgow Mafia, well we might not be the newest but we are defiantly the only one in Scotland. Anyway, we will be celebrating all of this at our Launch night at Home in the Merchant City on the 25th of October. This will be hotly pursued by a craft fair on the 1st of November in Universal. If your in Glasgow you'll be made very welcome and if not, well you can always check out our brand spanking new website....

invites

Firstly I wanted to say a huge thank you to Jan at poppytalk for featuring the Vintage Shoppers, Poppytalk is a daily read for me so I was really honoured to see my bags gracing the screen.

Below are some images of invites I designed for my sisters wedding, taking place in an old hunting lodge up north (hence the antlers).
