Washing Days Made Beautiful With a Handmade Peg Bag

Well hello and wonderfully warm, woolly and fully felted welcomes to the latest edition of the Tigerlily Makes Blog. Today is a very exciting day for me as I launch one of my favourite designs... the Regalily Wash Days Peg Bag.

This stunning peg bag has been handmade with the best quality ethically sourced wool felt fabric, with feature trims and handmade roses. The peg bag comes complete with hanger and 6 hand painted, co-ordinated wooden dolly pegs.

It comes in a range of colours and will be available from the Handmade Boutique at the Great Western Arcade in Birmingham from the 1st July 2013. It will be available online at a later date.

The Handmade Boutique is a collective of midlands based designers who have teamed up to fill this wonderful shop full to bursting with unique and original gifts, home wares, vintage furniture, children's clothing, soaps, candles and so much more.

But for now I will leave you with a sneak peek at the peg bag itself.

Todays Featured Handmade Buttons are the Vntage Lilalia Buttons

Well a wonderfully warm, woolly and fully felted welcome to the latest edition of the Tigerlily Blog.

Today I thought I would share another stunning button set in the Tigerlily Makes and Button It (please see the post below for the story of this beautiful collaboration)collaborations range. Todays featured button set is the Vintage Lilalia Bag Button set. Each button has been lovingly handmade with the original artwork for the actual real life Vintage Lilalia bag. I think the colours are fantastic and I love the way the bag and the colours pop on this vanilla ceramic button.

So I will leave you with the button set itself and the original felt bag which is available in a make your own kit on our website.

Buttons! Buttons! More Buttons and Buttons Galore!!

Well hello and a warm woolly welcome to the latest edition of the TM blog! For those of you who follow our page you will know that I have been collaborating with another amazing designer  for quite sometime, to bring you an exclusive and unique product.

That product comes in the form of a handmade ceramic button made by the wonderfully talented Skye at Button It and... Tigerlily Makes original designs and artwork. This collaboration is a fusion of handmade made and original artwork and designs, it has created the perfect partnership between two passionate designers, to bring about a really unique overall design.

These collaborative buttons are exclusive to Tigerlily Makes and Button it... we are the only two authorised sellers in the UK.  They are not available for wholesale and they are limited editions, which means that they are produced on very short runs and are collectors items.

We are launching 10 designs to start with... but there will be more.

The main collectors edition is the one pictured below Which is the Lily the Lamb range of buttons, these will have more Lily's dressed in gorgeous outfits over the coming months, so you may just want to bag yourself these designer beauties right from the outset as I have mentioned before they will not be mass produced.

The wonderful thing about this collaboration is that Skye and I met purely by chance through an eBay transaction would you believe!! Several years on we have become the best of friends and have worked very hard to bring you a bespoke collection of designer handmade buttons.

So I will leave you with a picture of Lily and a couple of other designs and for more designs in the range please visit the Facebook page.

Sweet Tooth Princess Lily & The Vintage Sweet Shop

On a trip to Lichfield recently, Princess Lily decided that she fancied something sweet, so she headed straight for Mr Simms Olde Sweet Shoppe in Bore Street.

Once inside this Aladdin’s Cave of sweet delights, Princess Lily was quite literally spoilt for choice, and immediately sent back in time to when she was a mere slip of a lass, and the plethora of traditional “sweets in jars” shops that used to be the only place to buy your sweeties. 

 

 

Who can fail to smile at memories of cola cubes, sherbet pips and pineapple chunks – and the sore tongue that often followed after eating them!   Hot summer days spent dipping an orange ice lolly into sharp lemon sherbet crystals, the funny fizz of a packet of Space Dust and the sheer joys (and frustrations) of trying to break a slab of treacle toffee, without the aid of a toffee hammer!

For those of you who enjoy days out at places like the Black Country Living Museum or Blists Hill Victorian Town in Ironbridge – it’s always the old fashioned sweet shops with the longest queues, and it’s not always the children queuing!

Forget buying multi-packs of mass-produced sweets.  Instead, head to your nearest old fashioned sweet shop and treat yourself to whatever takes your fancy.  I bet you won’t stop at one bag either …….!

After buying a quarter of her favourite rhubarb and custards, Lily packed her confectionary treasures into her handmade felt bag http://ow.ly/luEKM and bid farewell to Mr Simms and his jars of sugary gems, until the next time!
