Come join us at the Thames Festival at the Crafty Fox Pop-Up Market

We have a market stall in front of the Tate Modern and by the Founders Arms pub as part of the Crafty Fox Pop-up Market. The Thames Festival is a 2 day event opening from 12noon until 10pm this weekend. It celebrates London and its iconic river the Thames – there will be market stalls, dancing, live music and to end the festival fireworks on Sunday evening.

We're launching some new cards and prints which we've made for the market. They're not online yet but will be very soon. We'll also be selling some vintage items, our tree towels and other designers products that we're proud to have on Our Shop. We hope you can stop by to say hello! And please keep your fingers crossed it doesn't rain!

Vintage Treasure Hunt

We've managed to get a day out of the studio this week to do a spot of antique shopping. Keep your eyes peeled over the coming week for some new treasures that will be cropping up in our vintage section. We have some great utensil pots and storage jars for the kitchen plus loads of other treats. Here are some pics plus a sneak preview of a gorgeous sugar shaker we picked up.

Pick Me Up!

Last week we popped along to the 'Pick Me Up' exhibition at Somerset House. It was packed with talented graphic artists and illustrators from around the world, showcasing their work. There was alot going on, from puppet/shadow shows, live drawing sessions, live stop film animation, open studios from Anthony Burrill, Print Club and Nous Vous. Our faves were Anthony Burrill and Nous Vous. Check out some pics we took..

Antique Fair

On Tuesday, we took a trip out of London, to the DMG Antique Fair in Ardingly. It was massive and amazing!!
We spent the whole day there, trawling through lots and lots of quirky trinkets and gorgeous furniture.
The grounds were so big, that we were a tad overwhelmed by the mass of stallholders. We both walked away with
items, from a massive vintage leather bag , a vintage french pinny, a folky looking cat to scandanavian ceramics.
We've even sourced some lovely goodies for our new section of our shop 'Vintage finds' soon to be launched in Our Shop.
We came across some red apples, which were similar to these red apples in Our Shop. And these green apples from Our Shop.
Except these were vintage ones...so cute! one was a Russian luxury bath kit!

Shoreditch Festival

Last Saturday we went to the Shoreditch Festival. It was buzzing with lots of activities going on. Great place to get together with friends
and family to enjoy a variety of workshops, performances and events. I stumbled across the Dog Show, which was very funny and fun
to watch. I think it maybe true that dogs do look like their owners! I took my little niece to a puppet-making workshop, which was pretty cool.
There was a large screen on the green, playing silent movies, and right underneath a pianist played music along to it, was so charming.
The graphics for the event were quirky and fun too. Definately recommend it for next year!

Bust Summer Craftacular, London

We popped along to Bethnal Green's Bust Summer Craftacular last Saturday. This craft/art fair was bursting with lovely
quirky goods made by artists, designers and makers. It was very buzzy and inspiring. From quirky candy coloured bow
ties to beautiful ceramics. It was a mega hot day, but it was definately worth going to! Tatty Devine had a stall there,
and even had a small workshop going, so people could make up their own pendants. We had a little go too.
Some our a fave exhibitors were, Lost at Sea, By Louise, Invincible, Glazed&Confused, Bonbi Forest....

Sounds of the mind

We popped along to Selfridges, and were stopped by these striking installation windows.
Various musicians were commisioned by Selfridges, to create an installation, in each of the windows to illustrate one of their tunes
and to celebrate the Summer Festival season. Musicians included, Dizzie Rascal, Florence and the Machine, Empire of the Sun, XX etc.
