Selvedge Spring Fair...This Saturday!

Just a quick reminder that this Saturday is The Selvedge Spring Fair in London, it would be great to see some familiar faces if you happen to live in or near London. Also I have one free ticket left, if you would like it then just leave a message after this posting by 6pm on Friday 1st April with your full name and you can happily have it!

Also, Blombos Cave, a wonderful online handmade jewellery emporium is doing a special 15% discount on all their jewellery in association with GraceInk at Selvedge throughout April. Type in graceink15 at the checkout to take part in this great offer.

Decor8 Blog

Holly Becker over at the decor8 blog has been blogging about the upcoming Selvedge Spring Fair (only 3 weeks to go!), with pretty images and links to all the exhibitors. Holly has a lovely eye for design detail and manages to find some lovely source imagery, so make sure to have a look through some of her older posts to see what has been catching her eye!

And if you head over to the selvedge blog then there is a chance to win three laundry bags by Mini McGhee in association with the Papa Stour exhibitors at the Spring Fair. All you need is the answer to the best way to remove grass stains to be in with a chance to win...all the competitions are open until April 6th (including GraceInk).

Morningside Makers Market Update

Thanks to everyone that turned out to last Saturdays makers market in Edinburgh, it was another great event, a really busy day and it was wonderful to see and chat to some new faces in front and behind the stands (for me, this only being my second event). Here is a couple of pictures from the event (I remembered my camera this time) and it's great to be gradually building up the business by getting out and about. My neighbours at this event were a fantastic glass bead maker called Min Fidler who had come from the west coast and the lovely Abigail 'Abby' Jane who makes beautiful silver jewellery and had travelled down from Aberdeen which made my journey from the Scottish Borders pail in comparison! At the moment I'm not back at the Makers Market until July but I'll be sure to let you know if any other dates creep into my diary.

Competition Time!

If you head over to the Selvedge blog there is a chance to win one of three of my Juti Cushions, you've just got to answer a question by the 6th of April to be in with a chance. This is all in the lead up to the Selvedge Fair taking place the first Saturday of April...click here for more information. Selvedge are having competitions like this throughout March for many of the designer-makers appearing at their Spring Fair so be sure to pop back to their website throughout the month.
