Gosh, it’s been a while…..

SALE TIME1


It most certainly has, but then I have been majorly busy with knitting and sewing – more of which to come in the next few days, I promise!


But for now, I’m having another clear-out, as I am running out of space in my own wardrobes, so the time has come to move a few things on and here they are.
They’re all brand new, only been tried on. Prices quoted do not include P&P, so if you’re interested, please leave a post for me or contact me at the email address detailed here.



HUNKY DORY SQUAW VALLEY BLOUSE, SIZE SMALL


HUNKY DORY BLOUSE1


This beautiful blouse is anything but small, as it’s rather on the large size, hence the reason I’m selling it. It has beautiful embroidered detailing and a lovely neck edge. Originally retailed at 1799 SEK, will sell for £60.00.


HUNKY DORY BLOUSE2


Please note, that this is runs large for a small blouse, so I would say it would fit a large Odd Molly size 1 to a small size 2. Hope this helps! Very pretty and wish it fitted me, but sadly, it just doesn’t! Sad smile



ODD MOLLY BLOUSE


SALE TIME2


Is it a Native Blouse? Can’t for the life of me remember, but anyway, it’s for sale! Size 1, bought last year, but never worn, only tried on, I guess dark colours are not really me!


For sale at £40.00



ODD MOLLY FULL EMBROIDERED TANK


SALE TIME3


This absolute stunner was bought as a present by a friend, who knows how much I loved the embroidered butterfly, but sadly, didn’t know my size. I did consider making it into a skirt or something, but I’m not so sure I would be doing it any justice, so I’m moving it on instead. Beautiful embroidered detail, it really is a stunner and is brand new.


For sale at £50.00




Happy shopping and thanks for dropping by!

SALE TIME–I need the space again!

CLOTHES RACK2


Trust me, I really do, as there just isn’t any room left to store my wares in my craft room right now! Sad smile


So then, as I make up my mind what I’m going to do from now on, I’m getting rid of a few things so here they are. All items are exclusive of P&P…..


HEIDI LONG 3


**  HEIDI Long Dress - £60.00, size 1  **


Very pretty dress which cost more than this to make, but it has to go!  Will fit up to a large Odd Molly size1, provided you’re not large busted.


GREY SWEET HEART SHORTS


**  GREY SWEET HEART SHORTS – Size 1, special price, £20.00  **


Made from a lovely soft 4 ply cotton, finished with a pretty beige cotton crocheted belt. Will fit up to a small size 2, as will the Powder pair.


PERFECT POWDER SWEET HEARTS SHORTS



**  POWDER ‘SWEET HEART’ SHORTS - size 1, special price, £30.00  **


A perfect shade of Powder, these are made in an organic 4 ply cotton, finished with pretty little crocheted bows and a contrasting powder pink cotton belt. This cotton yarn is no longer available, so if you are interested in a pair of powder coloured shorts, now's the time to buy them! 


If you would like to purchase any of the above items, please contact me at my email address here.


Happy shopping and thanks for dropping by!

VIVE MARIA, the story begins here………

VIVE MARIA CHALK3


Well hello there lovelies, seems like it’s been a while since I’ve had time to post on a regular basis, but as you will see, I’ve been busy coming up with, and knitting new designs for Autumn/Winter.


And here’s the start of the collection, ‘Vive Maria’ Sleeve warmers! 


I’ve loved designing and putting these beauties into production, and they really are stunning, with lots of pretty detailing in them!


VIVE MARIA CHALK1


They look so pretty on and I can’t wait to wear this pair with my lovely new winter white cardigan from Odd Molly, and my very pretty Kahlo dress - roll on vakker høst!


VIVE MARIA CHALK4


Love the crocheted ties on the back of them, just adds an little extra ‘something’ to the design…….


VIVE MARIA CHALK2


And for the sleeve warmers, I’ve moved the crocheted bow to the hand edge.


So then, what about this other pair…….


VIVE MARIA POWDER PURPLE1


These beauties were inspired by the amazingly pretty ‘Bakers Cross’ Dress by Odd Molly!


VIVE MARIA POWDER PURPLE2


Think the contrasting ties on these really stand out and look so pretty…..


VIVE MARIA POWDER PURPLE3


The contrasting band was crocheted separately then stitched onto the sleeve warmer.


VIVE MARIA POWDER PURPLE5


They really are quite stunning and as you can see, are the perfect accompaniment to this very beautiful dress…..


m411-35-744-7502-front-2-105


Perfect indeed! Smile


These sleeve warmers are for sale at £38.00 for the solid colour, and £40.00 for the dual colour, as obviously they cost more to make! This does not include P&P by the way!


And don’t forget, these are sleeve warmers, and don’t have the thumb opening, so you can wear them how you like – the new wristwarmers will be here very soon and will retail at £35.00


Watch this space…….


The ‘Vive Maria’ story has only just begun! Winking smile



Have a wonderful day my dears and thank you for dropping by!

ITEM FOR SALE - TRADERA







Hi folks!


Been mad mad busy of late, so no time for posting, but I just thought I'd put a little notice in here, should anyone be interested in my beautiful Hunky Dory Squaw Valley tunic. It's a stunner and I wish it fitted me, but it's very large for something which is mean't to be a small size, so it would easily fit a size 38 no problem! 


And it cost my lovely Mum so much money also, I really wish it fitted me, but there's no point in hanging on to something just to have it hang in the wardrobe is there?......


Here's the link.....

Hope you're all enjoying what's left of the summer rays.....if you're lucky enough! ;-0

A little something to pretty up Autumn…..

BA WRISTLETS1


Well there’s a slight chill in the air when you wake up in the morning now, so I guess Autumn is on it’s way, which makes it cool enough to wear a cardigan now and then, so what better way to ‘pretty up’ one than by adding some sweet little broderie anglais wristlets?


The fabric used on mine really is stunning, with quite a deep border and finished with pretty bows…….


BA WRISTLETS2


Wore them with this cardigan last night and they really brightened it up and made it look extra special!


For sale at £15.00 (plus P&P)


If you like, mail me at........

Many Thanks for dropping by – hope you’re enjoying the last of the summer sunshine somewhere or other!

Hmmn, not impressed……. :-(

SADLY NOT IMPRESSED


Yes, the postie arrived yesterday, with the first pair of those lovely high wedges I ordered from Aldo, that the lovely models were wearing at the Odd Molly SS12 catwalk show last week, so imagine my surprise when I tried one on, loved them, then decided (because they’re soo high!) that I need to put the other one on, in order to balance – only to find that I have two ‘right’ shoes!!


So, I ring the company, who basically are not interested in sorting out the problem, they just tell me to return them to the Liverpool store, which is the nearest to me – but that’s an 80 mile round trip – hence the reason I ordered online in the first place!! 


When I asked why they couldn’t just exchange them and send out another pair, they told me that they couldn’t do that and that I could send this pair back and just order another pair online – but they’ve now sold out online. 


So, I speak to an assistant at the Liverpool shop to see if they can help me locate a pair – anywhere and the lovely lady there (Chelsea!) is attempting to do that for me, as apparently, there’s only one pair left (in my size!) I’m thinking, they must be a pair of ‘left’ wedges then!


So fingers crossed I get them, but this is the second example this week, of me ordering something and a company sadly abrogating all responsibility for putting right something that’s gone wrong at their end. Whatever happened to 'quality control?........ 


When you think about it, thankfully I am fortunate enough (if they’d been in stock somewhere!) to be able to just re-order and await my refund, but what about people who just can’t afford to do that, and when something goes wrong, it’s left to the customer to put it right for themselves? It's not acceptable really!


Now I know that there are a lot of companies out there who have excellent customer care service but this is a prime example of someone getting all wrong.


And I know for a fact (considering the number of sizes that were available online before I posted about these two pair of wedges) that they have obviously benefitted from my blog post, but you know, no company in this day and age can afford to have a bad experience also blogged – and that’s a great shame for them, but perhaps they need to look at the calibre of person working in the customer care service team….


And with that, I’ll jump down off my very high wedge (singular obviously!) and get on with the next complaint I have – la-di-da, happy days indeed! Winking smile

Summer dreaming….for next year!

oddmollyss2012c


Without a shadow of a doubt, this has to be my favourite outfit from the Odd Molly SS 12 show which was held last week in Stockholm. I have many outfits like this that I bought in another lifetime, from an English designer by the name of Karen Millen (I will dig them out and post them here!) Think this is the reason why I love crochet so much, and I know that this outfit is on the top of my wish list for next year!


oddmollyss2012a


And this is probably second on my wish list!


_1KL6158


Thing is, I fell in love with some of the shoes also, especially this pair…..


_1KL6219


And these also!


So, as you will have to wait till around mid January to pre-order your Spring/Summer wares, may I suggest that if you like the shoes, you can purchase them now – and on sale too – at a company called ALDO – I just did and they’re winging their way to me as I type!


26_happer_35_6


Here’s the link for these…….

And here’s the other pair I found…..


26_goodstein_20_6

http://www.aldoshoes.com/uk/women/sandals/wedges/84476275-goodstein/20


So you can have part of the look now whilst you're summer dreaming - for next year!


Happy Shopping lovelies!
