This was such a fun stall set up, and I was very pleased with how cohesive it all looked considering that Kate and I worked independently with just a ‘brights and linen’ as a theme.

Kate’s work was especially lovely and I’m blown away by her ability to put colour and pattern together.  Here is a little collage of some of the things she made for the stall:

Kate gave me the yo-yo necklace that is at the feet of the (adorable) lion above and I get loads of compliments every time I wear it 🙂

One of the great things about doing the market was (suprisingly) the dicipline of making multiples, I really liked working in this way!  It was also lots of fun chatting to other stall holders.
