Petite Noel

Last night was spent at the truely lovely Petite Noel market in Dundee, set up by the talented bunch from Dundee Jamboree (http://dundee-jamboree.blogspot.com/). Despite being completely shattered and all on my lonesome, I headed up to the Perth Road to set-up shop and I was definately not disappointed with the evening. Great looking stalls, friendly people, happy shoppers and lots of other added loveliness like a real Xmas tree, live entertainment, festive drinks and heavenly cupcakes.

I'd just like to give the talented and very lovely girls from the stall next to me a little shout out. I had banned myself from having too close a look at all the other stalls, because knowing me I would have fallen in love with everything and spent every penny I had made! You cannot miss what is directly next to you however and the girls had lots of great items to choose from. I settled on purchasing the following items...

First up was some very funky vintage material bunting which came in all different colours, but I decided on this fab mustard and green paisley patterned...

I also picked up this cute little hair slide, which she also did as a brooch with a pin back and I now wish I'd got one of those too...

Finally, I bought this whimsical t-shirt announcing the newest royal marriage that I have seriously fallen in love with and plan to wear to death!

None of the girls sell online as yet, but I think they have plans to in the future so why not follow their blogs and keep your eyes peeled for any updates: http://www.stephanieliddle.blogspot.com, http://www.stephdrake.blogspot.com, and http://www.tanyahendrie.wordpress.com. I can't quite remember exactly who made what (sorry girls), but I do know Sally, who made my new favourite t-shirt doesn't have a blog yet so if you are looking to bag one for yourself, I am sure any of the other girls could put you in touch!

Measure Collection

Just a quick post to let everyone know that we have new stock of our tape measure kirbies in and new to the MEASURE collection we now have super cute little tape measure keyrings! Perfect for any creative/crafty person and all with great stocking filler prices!

Today, I announce the first departure from the Cissyface Vintage range

As we like to keep things fresh here at Cissyface, when we feel something has had it's day it is only right to say goodbye. We are constantly bringing you new ideas and new products as we love our customers and want to keep you on step ahead of everyone else when it comes to unique and quirky accessories and gifts.

Today, we say goodbye to our current domino range. Mini Domino Earrings and both styles of our Domino Brooches are leaving us. We feel like it doesn't sit well anymore with the innovative ideas we bring you here at Cissyface and also we have just seen it in one too many other ranges now.

Keep an eye out for a new product we will be launching soon, featuring dominos in an exciting new way! ;)

Coming soon...

Chic and understated cards featuring vintage tie off cuts. Still a work in progress, but they will be available on the website ASAP!

Another day, another new product idea!

I have recently bought a huge selection of vintage scarves from a lovely little vintage wholesalers and as you all know, I turn most of them into necklaces and bracelets (and coming soon, some cute little tops). However, in this batch, I found myself with quite a few sheer prints and they are not much use for either of my current lines. What to do with them all?????

Well, I was tossing around some ideas and settled on this!! I think its pretty funky to be honest, although may be slightly too bold for some. I have turned this one into a corsage, but I am also considering trying it on a headband too. Sort of a hat/fascinator idea. I shall post photos of the fascinator sample when I have finished it! So, what do you think?!

Introducing more new items...

Infinity button necklace in black and red.

Infinity necklace in green and brown.

Vintage scarf necklace - Patty Belle.

Photos from Angus Toy Appeal Fashion Event

Here are some photos of my lovely stall and my lovely friends from last night's event. A fun night for everyone, I made some new contacts and most importantly alot of money was raised for a great local cause. A huge thanks to Claire and Ruth for coming along and helping me out and a big well done to all those involved with the event.

Upcoming Events

Two new events I have scribbled into my diary: the first is a charity fashion show being held in Dundee this coming Thursday. More details to follow shortly! The other will be the second Gin In Teacups event that I will be attending at the third one the girls have thrown since they launched earlier this year.
I will be taking a rather different variety of stock to GIT i think this time around, I will keep you posted!

Some cheeky wee photos of the latest arrival at Cissyface Vintage this weekend. Beautiful vintage cigarette card brooches, £5 each.

Here is a little round up of today's featured range of vintage button designs. Enjoy!! :D

New Stock - Coming Soon

Hello, hello, hello! Just another quick update, but unfotunately no photos yet! I will take some ASAP! New stock coming online hopefully over the weekend.... newly reworked vintage scarf bead necklace and bracelet sets... vintage button necklaces with matching earrings available... more recycled tie berrets and much, much more!!! Keep checking back for photos and updates :D

Where has today gone?!

Is it just me, or are there not enough hours in the day?????

That's really all I have time to say!! I thought at least someone out there would understand! I will keep my fingers crossed that I have a very productive day tomorrow.

One Design - 3 Ways

Today I have been playing with scale and have produced exactly the same necklace, in 3 very different sizes to see exactly how far I could push it. I think even with just pumping up the volume, you can take a very simple design and make it modern and a statement piece. I think my favourite would be the medium size and I will definately be wearing this one because I LOVE LOVE LOVE the print on this fabric! How BOLD would you be? Which one would you wear?!
