Snow problem

Events of the snowy variety appear to have overtaken us so there hasn't been much time to blog.

We traded on weekdays in the run up to Christmas at Spitalfields and Cambridge. As the pictures show Cambridge was certainly picturesque. A tad chilly though.

Make do and Mend and Mess up and Mend again

A trolley is an essential piece of kit in our line of work. We have a couple a large and smaller version. Ed found the smaller one in his Dad's garage, it's great but does need regular attention. Recently a wheel fell of so he welded it back on but unfortunately he welded the wheel solid, so we just had some stationary round shapes on the bottom of the trolley rather than wheels.

Here he is welding more replacements on. No doubt something else will break after 1/2 an hours light use.

Robin Cooper Time Waster

I heard this comedian on Last Saturdays Loose ends on radio 4. Very amusing and great cartoons.

His name was Robin Cooper and you can hear his Timewaster phone calls on the BBC website.

Busy, busy, busy

We've been working hard to sort out the mess created by doing various stalls and selling lots of stuff for Christmas which is all good. You wouldn't think, however, that it would involve quite so much folding and re-folding of t shirts and sweatshirts.

So apologies for the lack of action on the blog front and when we do something interesting we will be sure to post it.

Extra Diary Dates

The first weekend in December is drawing near and we are doing some extra events. We hope to trade at Spitalfields on friday and the

Clerkenwell Christmas Fair
Friday 4 December 4pm-8pm

This event is in aid of St John Ambulance in the historical Smithfield market, in Clerkenwell, London and looks set to be our first really Christmassy event.

Then on Saturday and Sunday we will be in Stoke Newington for

Oggle Everything's Christmas Art, Design & Craft Fair, Abney Hall, Stoke Newington.

Sat 5^th Dec, 10am – 5pm and Sun 6^th Dec, 11am – 5pm

Entry: FREE
Come and enjoy browsing and shopping at over 30 stalls featuring work by designer-makers.

Both events should have lots of other great stalls and we really enjoy the chance to do a bit of Christmas shopping ourselves.

In addition to this we will have all our regular stalls at Cambridge All Saints market on Saturday and Spitalfields and Upmarket in London on the Sunday.

Out takes

We're trying to get our current mens t shirt collection onto the website. If you take photos of the t shirts on coat hangers they just look big and saggy so Ed had to wear them.
Here are the pictures you won't be seeing on the website.

The Ros Wallet

Although we don't normally give our products names our latest wallet is definitely a 'Ros'. I made my own version a couple of years ago. After an unfortunate incident of wallet based incompetence I made a wallet I could chain to my bag which would hold lots of small change and business cards.

Initially we thought it was too large for people who don't regularly carry £50 in small change, but I eventually tried making a few to sell. The picture shows the my first batch. Also available in dark brown, tan and black hopefully we will get them onto the website this week.
