Vintage button necklaces done justice!

Well hello there everybody

Firstly I begin with an apology – I am utterly ashamed at my lack of blogging. The very fact that this is my first for the new year is really quite lame. However life has been taking unforeseen twists and turns and Cupcake Cardigans had to take a break for a couple of months. However I am back and with a whole new suite of photography to showcase my new collection of vintage button necklaces.

So for the update – well the Designer Craft Show that took place at Stockport Gallery during December went well. My creations were really well received and I made sales, so I feel uplifted having unleashed my necklaces on the women of Stockport. I also had some success with my handmade bags and sold quite a few of these over the Christmas period.

After the fiasco of attending some awful craft fairs, I have decided not to pay to do anyone else’s fair. No, enough is enough. I have actually decided to launch my own vintage tea party which will include some beautifully made vintage crafted items for you to peruse. However the selling point will be the vintage tea drinking from vintage china cups, poured from lovely vintage tea pots – all accompanied by some gorgeous cakes….who can say no? I will keep you informed of the details, which are coming soon.

I have managed to sort my photography issues out and have uploaded some decent images of my new work. So I hope you will visit my shop for a nosy round! Below are a few taster images. I have only listed the necklaces for now…..bags are to follow.

Love to you all and I promise to update more regularly from now on!
