Well after a busy month or so I'm back and hope to post more regularly. The website is up and running and I've had so much lovely feedback from you all. Lots of you have put your orders in for Christmas too which is so exciting, it seems word is getting around about my handmade business.
As well as up-cycling for Heart Vintage I am a huge lover of up-cycling for my home too. I rent my little Victorian terrace in Leicester, its full to the brim with charity shop finds and car boot bargains. I like to 'make do & mend' with everything and anything that catches my eye.
my first 'make do' post is about......vintage hankies
A bundle of these lovelies was given to me last month, each one very different but very pretty, I'm looking forward to up-cycling these beauties. I love the idea of pretty floral bunting, this idea would be great in Summer outside in my yarden.
I have a collection of crochet bits and embroidered tablecloths....mixed with my floral hankies would make a stunning patchwork tablecloth.
or maybe a a patchwork curtain, The morning sunlight highlighting each individual pretty pattern would look beautiful. I think these would make a lovely new old edition to my bathroom.
I hope this feature will be the first of many, as I share my inspirations I will also share my 'makes' as and when I finish them. Do you up-cycle? I'd love to see your 'makes' too.
