Where was I yesterday ?

You may have already guessed from this first picture if you have read my blogs in the past.

First up I delivered a cheque to the Sue Ryder Charity Shop for the money I raised from the sale of the bags I illustrated sold for them.  

Can  you guess from these pictures where I went ?

I ventured into the wonderful wooden toy shop ENCHANTING WOOD and had a nice chat with shop owner Premsa. I got two beautiful wooden toys for the kiddywinks next door to me.  Have a look at Premsa's website it has some great animations.

Have you guessed yet ?

 There's a lovely new shop there too run by Roger & Sarah.
Midas Moon Contemporary Fashion Accessories
Roger told me that they are stocking the work of local designers like the fabulous fabric bags above by Alison Stansfield.  They also have jewellery designs by Dee Kerslake
The shop is on the lovely cobbled street of Water Street.

You guessed it I was in TODMORDEN (again)

FINALLY

 
Can I just give a push for a young lady whose handmade jewelley we have seen before.
 Angelini Designs (link here)
  She is on Todmorden market Thursday, Friday & Sunday.
She will be at the Manchester Pride Event  25-27th August and is working hard to get everything ready.  So lets wish her a lot of luck as she has spent a fortune on renting a stall.

I HOPE YOU LIKED THE TRIP ROUND TODMORDEN
WHERE THE TRADERS ARE FRIENDLY AND THE SCENERY BREATHTAKING. 
 IF YOU LOOK ON THE SIDE BAR UNDER WORD SEARCH, PRESS ON TODMORDEN YOU WILL SEE MY OTHER TRIPS THERE.

CANVAS BAGS, SUE RYDER CARE & A NICE CHAT

This morning I crossed from Lancashire into Yorkshire on a scenic drive over to,

 yes you've guessed it, Todmorden (again).  But what was I doing there ?

On my last visit I bought one of these bags from the Sue Ryder Charity Shop to see if the Doodly Bird designs would work on canvas/jute. Well it did and here are the results.

FROM THIS

TO THIS TA-DAH !

AND THE REVERSE

As it worked  so well I thought what a good idea to resell them and donate £2 to the Sue Ryder Care Charity from each bag I sell.

They will sell at £8 each + £2.50 post and packing.(UK) £3.50 Europe, £5.50 USA.

I will be selling them from my Etsy Shop which you can see on the side of my blog.
 Link here or go to my Etsy shop.

I can even personalise them with a name if you like. I will also enclose a Sue Ryder information sheet.

You might be asking yourself "What's Sue Ryder all about ?", here's some information for you

or visit www.sueryder.org

In the shop I started chatting to June the manager and I was telling her the button story from Thursday's secondhand market visit. See FRIDAY' S POSTING

Its amazing what you learn when you get into conversation with people.

June told me that they send all their vintage & retro clothes, haberdashery and buttons to their Leeds and Keighley branches as they are a magnet for fashion/textile/art students and collectors of vintage clothes.  Link for  West Yorkshire shops

Ooh, I thought I can feel a visit coming on......

I hope you have enjoyed this posting, it was totally out of the blue. As I was telling my hubby I didnt even intend blogging today, as I don't do it for the sake of doing it. Only when I have something interesting to say.

Its funny though how most days something comes up that triggers me off.

Happy weekend everyone.
