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.

Magpie Market & Easter Snow

So despite the Arctic weather conditions at the weekend the wonderful Magpie Market still went on. We were provided with complimentary tea and cake all day which I know think should come complimentary with every event! The chocolate brownies were delish! So here are a few photos of my stall, complete with my new packaging and new vintage/reclaimed layout. 

The frames at the back of my table were a horrible bare pine until the makeover. I saw a Pin on Pinterest about instantly ageing wood with a vinegar solution, needless to say it worked a treat! 

I bought this wonderful khaki retro vanity case at the Vintage Home Show in Manchester two weeks ago. What a bargain at only £8. It made a fantastic display base for my vintage button collection.

The brooches were most certainly the most popular item on the day, but then again who can resist a retro fox brooch with a rabbit button?

Reuben and I thought making a snow bunny would be much more appropriate given the time of year!

So it looks like it might just be the coldest Easter on record. But hey ho, I'm looking forward to wrapping up in front of the fire, with a big mug of hot coco and tucking in to my chocolate eggs! 

Have a wonderful Easter folks x

New Vintage Button Badges

I have spent a fortune recently on the most beautiful vintage garden flower buttons. And as lovely as they look sat in a glass jar in my welsh dresser there not really making me any pennies! (Crafting is my full time job you know!) And so I have dared to part with a couple of them to feature on my lovely new badges/brooches. I have paired them up with this very special Liberty of London fabric. These really are my new favorite items at the moment. They look so summery and retro! Now what will I be doing with the rest of my pretty vintage garden flower buttons I hear you ask? Well I do have very special plans for these..but I'm afraid I will have to keep this little plan a secret for now. Once finished though, I will of course be sharing it on my blog :)

*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.
