Craft Jam market review

I'm satisfied about my selling.





The metallic gold nail finger brooch was new creation.

Next my market selling will be 3rd June @Diamond Jubilee Festival. ( I made it within handpicked British themed 24 stall form Etsy, hooray!)

Sunday 15 April 2012 @Keston Lodge


I trade at my old memory's keston loage. I started selling my items from here about  years ago.
I remember this area is quite good for selling because they are shopping area, so people have money for spend. On the other hand the Islington area is quite quirky atmosphere, not like oxford street.



I use for ring tray for my finger brooches, looks easy to see.
I saw people surprise and feels fun with them.
I made new colour's sparkling gold nail one!
Also the "Pet tour rings" are almost looks like family.



The patchwork basket is new as well. I like the stripy binding tape. These patchwork items are totally one-of-a-kind item. I don't sell these online. You can get only from my stall or some of my stockist.



The old keys pattern's collar is new arrive.
The fabric called "GRANDMA'S HOUSE VINTAGE KEYS". Just perfect with my theme! Unfortunately this one is last stock for the fabric, but I might can get more stock for this fabric if you wanna get it.



Here is the selection of fabric teacup and saucers.


You can see behind this patchwork teacup, this is my new making.
All pieces is different fabric based on beige and brown.



Massive thank you for my lovely friend Momolita! She is famous dolly fashion designer from Japan.
I'm massive fun of dolly since childhood. I don't make doll's clothes a lot now, but I was checking sometimes doll's official website like Blythe one. I always saw her name in the blythe website. so you can't imagine how I'm surprised when I met her first time in London.

She always give me nice gift. I had sewing scissors, I can't wait to use it!
Also She kindly bought my finger brooches and knitted necklace, thank you!!
We have same interest specially about sewing. I realised we was talking almost 1 hour?! after she left. We should go cafe together, I'm sure it will be lovely time.

New stockist: In with the old

I brought selection of my products for new open craft shop in Islington on last Saturday.
The shop called "In with the old" suited in Amwell street just pass Angel station.


I know the Angel and Islingotn area, but I didn't know the Amwell street!
I arrived the street 30min before appointment time just in case. so I had time for look around the shop.

They are really nice and chic village atmosphere! Full of independent shops in the street such as Florist and antique shop, hair salon, organic food shop, art book shop..
I saw already people stop and look deeply the shop window display even before opening.



This is inside shop. These chic shelves are all made by hand by shop owner Alice. I like this recycling theme and specially my favorite Liberty fabric!
I think the furniture are suit with my style. I wanna use for my house as well.

She prepare for even wrapping ribbon use by Liberty fabric, if you purchase items from the shop, I can imagine you'll get lovely wrapping.

I was first maker for bring stock, so I could choose my area freely.
I'm very happy Alice found me as a maker! She is very nice, feel easy to talk. I'm very exciting to see full of items in the shop next visit. I can say probably most cutiest independent shops!



This is my shelf. The height was perfectly mach with my small items. I'm very happy about this looks!
I prepare include item's title and concept sign for display. I think these help people understand my items more.
(I was preparing stock for the shop and market last 2 weeks. I'm quite relief made in time.)

I made my own tags as well, the tags has tiny bells for some of tiny items such as ring and brooch. This will help for easy to notice is the items drop on the floor etc.
I choose carefully best selling selection from my items. Hopefully people likes as well.



This is my sign. I made printed own image on fabric first time. I use the embroidery hoop with white dots tulle fabric, looks cute.



I'm first photo in the makers!

Finally, here is shop detail;

Valentine Mansion Market review


I went to Ilford, Essex for my traveling stall on last Saturday. Sounds quite far away, but actually just takes hour by bus.


I  made as new creation "Bunny ring". I sold my first making "gold bunny ring" at Crafty fox, so I made more colour selection for this event.
Also the patchwork basket and gold bunny brooch are new.

Another "Pet tour rings" are available from here.



Here is my teacup selection for the day.
The "UK flag one" were popular as I was guessing. The theme is Queen's Diamond Jubilee and London Olympic year!
You can get the "UK flag one" from here.



Also this teacup is already in Etsy Treasury list in here.


I have another "Etsy Treasury list" including my items about "15 lists"!!
I didn't update in my blog yet, I'll update in my blog when I have spare time probably 2 weeks later..

Sunday 15th April; Craft market @Keston Lodge, 131 Upper Street, Islington, London, N1 1QP

Miwary won the fovorite stall competition!!

Hooray!

Thank you so much lovely people voted for me at Crafty fox spring market!
Officially I became "
2nd – winner" on Saturday 24 March market!


I couldn't believe that, because the stalls over 40 in there and so many different taste stall are all special!

I never have this competition
opportunity and I think this competition is good idea for improve this Crafty fox event better and better as all stallholders try to best looks and care about display more. ( I would say this Crafty fox event already one of the best event for me.)

Luckily I will receive goodie bag form Crafty fox.
Thank you so much, Sinead & Stephan, specially James (Jimbobart).

Crafty fox spring market review


I really enjoyed this crafty fox spring market! I felt busy all day, seriously it was busy same as Christmas time!
All customers are lovely heart warming same as market organizer Sinead & Stephan. look forward to seeing their baby next timeX

Also some people asked me about my stall name for vote best stall look. Thank you so much choosing my stall from over 40 different stall! That's made me so happy.


I'm quite happy this display. looks so many different items stock. The patchwork basket was my stall's most expensive item for me, one of the lovely man bought that after this. Thank you!
Teddy ring and finger brooch, mouse brooch are really popular as usual. I need to make more lots of stock for this coming Saturday market.


I used lots of different small boxes and tries for display. I tried to make different height on my table, not just flat laying.
The sleeping baby brooches are sleeping on the perfect size sofa. I made the sofa long time ago for my dolls.
Also I used white photo frame for postcard. I guess people easy to imagine to display my collage cards not just use for letter.


I really like this corner spot as well. normally I can't display this long patchwork scarf at craft market, but I could display this time.
Also The natural knitted necklace and mini mannequin looks well together.
The chic wall quite much with my items I think.


Finally, they are my best seller "fabric teacups"! They are popular as usual, never fail to surprise people.
I really look forward to joining crafty fox again!!

p.s. I confirmed start to stock my items at 2 new shops soon! X

A Note from me

Always lots of people likes to take photo of me or my items on the stall.
Sadly most of people don't ask before start taking photos. some people take more than 5 time shoot.. that's too much. I feel pretty uncomfortable about that.

Generally I'm really happy someone take photo of me if you are press or blogger. I know most of
Professional press people ask about take photo before they start. I just wanted to say to public, please ask before start taking photos. Also make sure my credit "Miwary" and link to my website if you update my photos on your website. Certainly I'll link your website from my press page if you contact to me about that.
Thank you for your understood.

I was trading Hackney City Farm Craft Fair on last Sunday.



I made lots of fabric-teacup Saturday night and Sunday morning as well.

Craft Guerrilla Christmas Fair review

I was trading for Craft Guerrilla Christmas Fair on last Saturday 3 December at Vestry house museum.
 
My fabric-teacups were very popular more than usual, I sold them mostly first hour even display space was half more than usual.

Customers were kind and they have spirit for respect handmade things.

I displayed collars just a few use display stand instead of mini hanging rail, but I could sold lots them more than usual. I found new tips for collars sell well.

People likes specially my finger brooch as well as mouse, boots, bag brooches.

Also I'll start sell my items at
Vestry house museum shop though all December!!
check out more information later on my blog.


Sunday 4 December-Hackney City Farm Craft Fair!

Also I'll trading at Hackney City Farm Craft Fair on this Sunday 4 December.

I went to
Hackney City Farm last summer for as a off fun day with my husband.
I like to watch animal's moving, it's very cute!
It was quite good weather day in the summer, so it was good memories.

Saturday 3 December-Craft Guerrilla Christmas Fair

I'll join Craft Guerrilla Christmas Fair on this Saturday 3 December!


The location is vestry house museum!

"
The Museum is housed in Walthamstow's original workhouse, built in 1730 as a home for local paupers. In the 19th century the house was used as a police station and one of the old police cells can still be seen. After various uses, the building was converted to a museum in 1930.

The Museum is in the attractive conservation area of Walthamstow Village which has many fine historic buildings and is, itself, well worth a visit."

I'm looking for trading this one!

Red Gingham Cupcake & TINY GINGERBREAD MEN for Fabric Teacup-saucers.

I made new print Fabric Teacup-saucers for last stall.

It's Red Gingham Cupcake and TINY GINGERBREAD MEN!

I carefully choose these fabric for some
related tea or teacup. Also I thought ladies likes "Red" colour, it's quite classic and chic colour. I always think what kind things people likes and will be popular, not just my desire.

They already gone to their new home on last Saturday. This means I'm guessing would be popular print one for Teacup-saucers.




















You can try put on head as a fun if you like. X

p.s. Don't worry, I'm making your order one as well now, ladies!
