Selvedge Shop

If I were in London, I would be at the new Selvedge Shop's grand opening on Saturday.



I regard the Selvedge magazine as being the best there is when it comes to featuring textile design and designers. I always get excited when I receive my subscription copy in the mail.

So for you lucky Brits and visitors that are able to make it to the shop, you will be able to take advantage of the opening specials on textile goodies. Visit the website for the location and further details: Selvedge.

Happy New Year! 

Everybody loves freebies and I am certainly no exception.  Imagine my delight when I received this beautiful Margo Selby clasp purse in the mail this week.  Margo Selby is a British award-winning textile designer who develops hand-woven samples.  The fabrics are then woven in English mills.  My silk-blend purse is the perfect size for an evening bag and has different views, front and back.

 
How did I get the purse?  It was a gift from Selvedge Magazine for renewing my subscription. Anybody who loves textiles is reading this magazine.  It is published in the UK but you can subscribe to it internationally.  Of course, you can claim it as a business expense if you a designer :)

This year, I will be featuring more crafts and other creative talents on my blog.  I will be selling at local markets and am kicking off the year on Sunday, 4th January at the Designers Emporium Boutique Market at Everton Park.

I will be looking forward to meeting the other stall holders so if you are in Brisbane this weekend, come by and say hello and please visit Thea & Sami.
