One crafty weekend in London…
There’s been lots of good stuff happening at the Wee Birdy nest lately, but first, a recap on this weekend’s summer craftiness.
So it was off to Honor Oak in South-East London for Tea and Make’s debut fete on Saturday morning, which saw the likes of high-profile designers Hannah Waldron and Polly George pitching market tables on the front lawn of St Saviours Church.
I really loved the friendly and relaxed WI feel to the fete, which included a tea and cake stand inside the church hall, (complete with flower-filled vases on all the tables), local produce courtesy of Brockley’s bee-keepers, and an old-fashioned coconut shy.
I was also delighted to catch up with fellow blogger and local girl Basil Exposition (who somehow squeezes in the most amazing knitted and baked creations in between studying and blogging). Here are some of my picks of the day:
Polly George’s new range of ceramic Victorian-style brooches and butterfly hair grips (plus all her usual tea set loveliness), below...
Highgate-based Cornelia O’Donovan’s amazingly individual hand-stitched softies and illustrated bunting (below and top)…
Selvedge’s stall of covetable textiles and dry-goods (French and Japanese printed linen, Lotta Jansdotta’s tea towels, Liberty-print butterfly hair slides, below) …
English Design Company’s fresh stationery designs and beautiful paper garlands, below …
