Terrible twos, Chicken Pox, and Vintage Buttons!

Well last week our little boy turned 2! I cannot believe how fast the last few years have gone. It really does fly by. It's getting a little bit more 'challenging' working from home now with Reuben. I can pretty much only work at night now once he has gone to bed. It's certainly hard work but at least I can give him all the attention he needs by day :)

My little man

Last week was also a rather hectic week filled with Chicken pox and two wholesale orders! Now that was a challenge lmao. I got there in the end though!

This weeks plans include shoe shopping for Reuben, planning my bathroom makeover and getting ready for the début vintage event at the Green Chimney in Colne, Lancashire. It promises to be a corker. It's a great little place with the tastiest food upstairs and a funky craft and vintage event downstairs. What more could you ask for?

I have been super busy making lots of gorgeous new button jewellery from my huge vintage button hoard. Here are a few photos to get your vintage taste bus going..

 I am So tempted to keep this necklace

Vintage Love

Here are some of my favourite pieces from my new collection of vintage button jewellery. The floral sets are by far my favourite to work with, they make take the longest to put together to get them 'just' right but I believe the overall finished look is totally worth it! 

This vintage Springtime necklace and bracelet are available right now on my Realicoul folksy shop.

Super funky and chunky vintage button bracelet, featuring a very special antique button dating back to the late 1800's!

If your going to wear a button ring, you best make it a fat one!

SHOP NEWS

After weighing up all the pros and cons, I have decided to combine Realicoul & SewRealicoul together. So over the next couple of weeks SewRealicoul stock will be moved over to the Realicoul shops. So you guys will be able to do all your shopping in one place. I am also waiting for some supplies to arrive so I can crack on with my new 14k gold range....Oooo I hear you say! I know. I know I'm going up in the world :)

I will shortly (tonight, once I have my monkey in bed) be placing some SewRealicoul items on SALE! These items will sadly not be joining the Realicoul shops and therefore it will be your very last chance to get your mitts on them. So keep and eye out over at SewRealicoul Folksy for the special reductions. I will announce the sale opening on my facebook later tonight.

Ahh a day off and treasures!

I had a day off from working on Thursday. I have been working my bum off lately and so me, my Mum and my Grandma all took a trip to one of our local antique centers. I went with the intention of getting my sisters 21st present, not looking for myself. But I did bring home all of these...

 A lovely 70s salt container at £4

 And a matching biscuit jar £8. All without a chip or mark! With the rubber seals all in working order. They did have a tea and a sugar pot too, but without the coffee it wouldn't of been worth it. I literally would of made it my quest in life to find that matching coffee pot and it most certainly would of driven me insane!

And a GINORMOUS rug at the bargain price of £55! We have been looking for a big rug for a while and this is perfect. Yippee happy days x

*NEW STOCK*

So here is a couple of items of new stock. These tiny flower studs have been a big hit so i now stock more colours and you can buy a pack of three pairs and keep them ALL for yourself!


These bracelets are new and lie really comfortably around your wrist, they are double weaved so that the cross looks cute and 'sewn'. More colours will be coming soon, contact me if you would like a custom colour.
