Favourite Things Spring Fair!

After the success of the first Winter market, Favourite Things is having their Spring Fair market this coming Saturday, 1st October! Im really looking forward to it.

There are some vendors that have come on board for this market, so expect much more! It will be happening at the same space - Unit 7 in Wembley Studios, which is just opposite Wembley Square. The time has also been extended for you early morning shoppers too, doors open at 10am and we'll be selling until 3pm! LOTS of time to make sure you get all of your favorite things :)

There will be snacks and drinks available, as well as credit card machines and EFT facilities, for those of you that don't carry cash.

Looking forward to seeing you there - please come say hi if you do come, its always great to meet your readers :)

Have a happy Spring week everyone!

Market Best Sellers!

I thought it might be interesting to note what the 2 best selling brooches were of the market day!

Any guesses? ....

Here they are :)

Favourite Things Winter Fair!

Wow, what a weekend! Firstly, a big thank you to everyone who braved the weather and came out to the market on Saturday! It was such a great afternoon with loads of lovely things on sale. I wanted to walk out with something from every stall, everything was amazing. It was a great success and achievement for Heather's Leathers, as it was my first market. Thank you to all who bought brooches - you made my day!

I met some wonderful people at the market, customers and other sellers alike. One of which was Leila from Bow Peep. Such beautiful things she makes! She uses fabric, ribbon and fabric covered buttons to make her creations. And she makes brooches! How cool - brooches AND buttons! Two of my favorite things :) If I had the money, I would have bought everything off her table! I did however, get the most gorgeous brooch made by Leila herself! Make sure you check out her website!

I took a couple of snaps before the market started and the madness ensued :) Here are a couple of my favorites:

Market Time!

Sjoe! This week has flown by! But at least its been a productive one. I had a stamp made of the Heather's Leathers logo, and I just want to stamp it everywhere! But so far, Ive managed to restrain myself to just my rad new, homemade, natural packaging :) I have to say that Im really pleased with the results - I think they look great. Hopefully you all will think so too.

I have made quite a bit of stock for the Favourite Things Market happening tomorrow, so please come through if you get a chance, its going to be great! Its from 2 - 5pm, so you can still have a nice long sleep in, at Unit 7, Wembley Studios in Gardens. It is an indoor venue, so if it does rain, we'll be completely covered and icy-wind free! There will also be credit card facilities available for those of you who travel cash-free like me, ha ha.

So looking forward to it! Going to be working on my final touches tonight to get it all ready for tomorrow :) Here are a couple of sneak peaks into whats going to be available and also my lovely new packaging!

Favourite Things Market

Winter has definitely arrived. The thick socks, blankets and wooly scarves are out in full force, and I have to tell you that I love it! And what better way to celebrate the winter wonderful goodness than a gorgeous Winter Market!

Favourite Things Market is happening on Saturday the 2nd July at Wembley Studio in Gardens. Its going to be a great afternoon of beautiful things and yummy treats. Credit card facilities will be available, so don't feel bad if you forget to draw cash :) The market is run by a friend of mine, Kerry MacDonald, and she is very passionate about local handmade products. Check out the Collection of Favourite Things website to see the amazing things that she's doing.

I am also very excited about it because I am going to be selling Heather's Leathers brooches! Come and have a look at some new designs and hopefully you'll find the one for you!

There are going to be many other beautiful stands there, from jewelry to gorgeous kid's toys. Some yummy cakes and eats will be on sale as well as Origin Coffee for a little pick me up.

So ladies (and possibly gents), make a note in your diaries, and bring along your friends for what promises to be the first of many Favourite Things Markets!
