Another joyous day spent with Jessie Chorley yesterday - "a handmade and hand-tied Christmas" workshop held in the fab Vintage Heaven tea-shop on Columbia Road. Luckily for you I was too "hand-tied" to photograph the A-M-A-Z-I-I-N-G cakes (home baked the night before)as you would be reaching for the self raising as we speak!
Jessie had prepared simple white twig wreaths for us along with a divine pack of goodies including stamped luggage labels, white cardboard cut birdy and horse amongst other things.As ever, her trinket treasure trove of beads, lace and ribbons was set out to be foraged through! Off we went - wrapping, embellishing, embroidering, rosette making, beading, threading, stamping.
I should say that Jessie had made a gorgeous mobile including much of the above, alas I cannot show you as my flash was being petulant and I have nothing decent to show! So go and see it in the shop if you can.
I was early enough to have a little nose around the shop and managed to snaffle these gorgeous cards, complete with lovely envelopes covered in old script.
Oh, and also these pretty hand-stamped labels
Clapping hands, so excited! Little Lane brain is whirring with excited Christmas chatterings - haven't finnished my wreath yet but I will show you as soon as I have!
In the meantime Jessie and Buddug will be unveiling their Christmas window and wares on Saturday 19th November find out more here.
I shall be unveiling my creation as soon as it's finnished!
Love Sarah xXx

I am devasted totally that I couldn't go, I even got out of the house to walk to the station and just could not do it..and just sat on my doorstep crying my eyes out at 6.30 yesterday morning, loosing all that money was bad enough.. but missing the class and not meeting up with you and Vicky was the worst. (lots of tears) I just kept looking all evening to see if you or Vicky had written any thing about the day and I am so thrilled to see this post.
ReplyDeleteI booked my train and class in August and have been so looking forward to it for so many months...never mind I shall keep taking peeks at your lovely day I am so pleased you have had a lovely time and your items are just beautiful....
Big Hugs
