Yesterdays Southsea Boutique Market

Yesterday I got up a little too early to fight the fog and set up my stall at The Southsea Boutique Market held monthly in the Portsmouth Guildhall. Over 120 stall holders and what felt like 4 million people crowded into the guildhall to share a love of all things handmade and vintage.

Stalls included art, jewellery, vintage clothing, collectables, cakes, toys and everything else in between.

                                           Above are a few shots of my illustrated goodies....

                          Look out for the next Southsea Boutique Market on December 18th!

2012 OPEN WEEKEND AT THE BIG SCREEN, GUILDHALL SQUARE PORTSMOUTH

Today I went down to Guildhall Square, Portsmouth to see what was going on for the 2012 Olympic Open Weekend at the Big Screen. Go to http://www.london2012.com/events/open-weekend-at-the-portsmouth-live-site.php for full details about the day. Alongside the outdoor events was a fantastic art, craft and vintage market in the guildhall.

I bought a kooky fabric doll (see pic) from "PANSY AND CHACHA" who are coming soon to facebook. I also really liked illustration based work by the "Hey Day Collective"www.heydaycollective.com , quirky owl cushions by Chloe Hood http://chloehtextiles.tumblr.com and vintage inspired accessories by the Rare Designer Must Haves Boutique www.raredesignermusthaves.co.uk
