Jessie Chorley workshop at Indigo Moon

Friday evening was spent in the great company of these two, Tina and Jessie. 
We visit Jessie's shop when we go down to London, its a must if you are a stitcher/papercrafter and love vintage.  Even if you are not its such a lovely shop so go and have a look.

Tina Gilmore owner of Indigo Moon in Montgomery, Wales along with her lovely hubby Gav has a fantastic stock of antique furniture downstairs and upstairs a gallery and studio.

On Saturday they had me hard at work all day creating a journal from an old book.
Look at the concentration on my face.



 

 


   

There's still tons to do in it but I'm happy with the way its going.
At the end of a very creative day we had a show and tell.
This is the front cover of a wedding journal  Hilary was making.
  The wedding is to be held in France and its on my birthday.
This is one of the rooms in Tina's shop/workshop.  I could have stayed forever.
These cuties are made by Tina's friend Nichola  Hulmston better known as Ninneynoo 
and can be found on Facebook.
When we were ready for leaving on Sunday, 
after picking up the wooden cabinet soon to be housed in my workroom, 
Tina gave me a gorgeous gift of two of her miniature
framed pieces and a card with some very special words in.
Thank you Tina, Jessie & Gav.
Not forgetting Nichola and Emma for all the cuppas and cake.
A special hug for Lizzie the golden retriever

It was a fantastic weekend

A desk full of goodies

I've been to London and not had time to do much on the desk
except play with my new things


How do you like the little print trays I got off Covent Garden market.
I got chatting with the stallholder Daniel Fenton and he told me that his father had been a printer for many years and his father before him.  He had some fabulous stuff and gave me a good price for my little stash.

I know this is supposed to be a Tealight holder but as most people know I never use anything for what its supposed to be used for. So watch this space.
 
This is a book and a scrap pack I got from my most favourite shop in London
JESSIE CHORLEY on COLUMBIA ROAD
Anyone who likes papercrafting, textile art, messing around with haberdashery etc will love this place.
Jessie also runs workshops. Good job I don't live down there or I would never be away.
If you go to Columbia Road make sure its on a Sunday when its the flower market.  The whole area is buzzing and there's lots of quirky shops and stalls.
I will be writing more about our trip to London this week on my blog

But now it's time for a bit of desk hopping over at Mrs D's place
