This week I have been finishing off some new products and with all that sewing comes the need (yes the NEED) to buy more fabric. I know I rave about her work all the time but the talented Lu Summers of Summersville fabric is an absolute delight to work with. I have been finishing off some of these scrumptious clasp purses using her weave fabric yesterday to put in my shop today.


Whilst looking around the web for new fabric I found lots more supplies that really inspire me to make more new items. I have been browsing Fabric Rehab for a while now but never bought anything so this was the month. I got some beautiful turquoise seed head print cotton and one of her bargain buy mini fabric bundles too. Only to go back on today and spot more new gorgeousness in the shape of this beauty called The big E bundle pink amber which is now on my shopping list.




Another place I like to look for fabric is on etsy, its a great place to find textile print designers. Whilst searching I came across the shop of the amazingly talented Melissa Bombardiere. Her modern take on nature is really stunning, a simple but really eyecatching style. So I swiftly added her Mix pack of hand screen printed fabrics in red and pink to my favourites. Pink and red is possible my second favourite colour combo after pink and green.




Better go and do some more sewing then to earn some money to buy all this lot, and also use up some of my ever growing fabric stash before it finally spill out from under the stairs.

My Sweet Heart

So sorry my long neglected blog, I always mean to visit you more often but alas you are so often last on a very very long list of things to do. Please accept one of these sweet smelling Sweet Heart Lavender Pillows as my apology and I will really try to come around more often from now on.

Hey there doll face!

Look what arrived in the post for my Notonthehighstreet shop this week! I almost fainted from the cuteness that is these Paperfish doll face badges. I love how these remind me of those old simple childrens book illustrations that you used to get when I was young. Plus they have ribbon bows in their hair so whats not to like.


Also with them were these beautiful flora felt badges, slightly more grown up in feel but equally as delicious. Again they have added cute appeal as they have button centres, gotta love how Kirsty from Paperfish has a eye for those kinds of details.

So if you are looking to a healthier alternative to an easter egg or just fancy something to put a spring in your step now that the sun has finally shown itself, head on over to the shop to purchase these little darlings.

PS I am running low on both the Russian doll badges and the Teacup badges now so buy them now to avoid disappointment.

Twas the week before Christmas

and there is still 5 days to go to order any last minute gifts from my shop before the last postage day in the UK only. So be quick and snap up presents for all the family.

A notebook for your brother

A badge for your sister



or a purse for your mum

There is something for nearly everyone, not much for the men unless you have a fella who particulary likes pink and flowery.

Christmas outings for laurafallulah

Havent been around for a while as I have had so much on. Last week was WeMake christmas on the Kings Road in Chelsea which was a great day, lots of people and lots of amazing designers. This week I am preparing for Bust Christmas Craftacular at York Hall in Bethnal Green. I did the Summer event which was great fun so would definatly recommend coming along for the day.

Also if you want to buy online remember that there is only 10 more days left before my last shipping day in the UK, so better get a wiggle on.

busy busy busy

I have been so busy this last few weeks with work, sorting out our flat after building work and generally stress in our building that I feel like I never have enough time to keep on top of things. So sorry for another brooch related post but I promise the next time I blog there will be no products in site.

I did have to just let you all see the most gorgeous new colourway of dachshund brooch from Paperfish that I received today and had to put straight into my notonthehighstreet shop.



Loving the turquoise and red combo. The green version has sold so well that I have restocked with that one too but I decided to offer another colour to give you all a choice. Hope you love it as much as me.

Winters day.

I really love winter, it is my favourite season, and although so far this month has been pretty rainy and grey I am still much happier in a big jumper and a cup of tea than in a summer dress and a lolly pop (although I do love lollies). Plus getting to wear all those winter warmers is an even better excuse to accessorize yourself up to the eye balls. I am a person who does like a bit of costume jewellery, normally chunky and colourful. It is a great way to jazz up a otherwise boring black jumper or give a bit more life to your trusty winter coat.

To cheer yourselves and add some brightness to those short winter days why not pin on one of the fabulous brooches I have in my Notonthehighstreet shop.



Pin on this sweet Paperfish heart brooch for a surefire way to add some interest to a classic brown jacket, I think this would look fab on tweed.



With this set of pin back badges from Summersville you can mix and make colours and patterns to create different looks. Pin on singularly for a pop of colour or group 3 together for more of a statement.

Or these slightly sparkling snowflake brooches from yours truely. Hand beaded with little frosted glass beads to give an ice cold feel.

So sweet it makes my teeth hurt.

So its a good job that I am going to the dentists on tuesday. My 6 monthly dreaded trip to the dentist has been made slightly better due to the fact that I have a new designer in my NOTHS shop. Paperfish makes super cute badges and brooches as well as many other items. I have known her for a while now and count her as one of my bestest friends. So I am slightly biased but she is one talented so and so.

Please pop along to my shop and see the new designs of Paperfish badges I have in there. Brooches will follow next week but for now you will have to survive with looking at these super sweet tea cup, russian doll and deer badges.




I have to say the deer is my favourite, he is possibly the coolest badge I have seen in ages. As soon as I saw him I know he had to be mine, but I am not a selfish girl so now you can all own one too.

As a naughter teesing taster from next week you will also be able to get this rather dashing fellow.
