reetsweet 2012: campaigning against crap craft
Okay, it's time to level with you all, we've all been there, we've been to shoddy shops selling badly crocheted hats, or gone to a craft fair that seems full to the brim of a load of badly stitched hair accessories, falling apart christmas tree decorations etc - at reetsweet we are campaigning this year against crap craft. (If you want inspiration for what we mean, have a look at regretsy, one of the funniest things I have read in ages and you'll catch my drift.)
There are many fairs cropping up, and lots of people jumping on the crafty bandwagon in mainstream shops, but at reetsweet we will continue to book only the brightest, and the best makers - and sift through the rubbish to bring you a fair that's really worth a free visit to! Giving a much needed platform for new designer/makers in your area.
Come and see us this saturday 11th feb from 10am to 5pm at the leeds corn exchange, just a 2minute walk from briggate...not in Leeds this weekend? Then come to Sheffield next month for our next event on March 10th at the Millenium Gallery - 2 minutes from the train station...you know it makes sense!

reetsweet's christmas at sheffield: final countdown previews
I think it would be fair to say that I am a big kid, and here at reetsweet I get to let my inner child take over - the ethos behind reetsweet is about bringing a piece of handmade joy into people's lives, getting them away from the high street, buying local, handmade beautiful things!
One of my first reetsweet moments of amazement was seeing this lady's work the first time...Sian Wheatcroft of strawberry kitten; she makes utterly original toys (for big kids) that are so well made...a total joy! Sian began with the larger bears you see here, but has now moved on to making stunning jointed bears, and she also offers a range of prints, small accessories and the bear cushions. She will be at reetsweet's fair in sheffield's millenium gallery this sunday 27th with us from 12pm to 4pm...see you there!
Monday
free art show!
There are two things I love...free stuff and art! Put them together and you've got me coming through the door, that's why reetsweet's events are always free! So, on the subject of great free arty events, you might want to attend 'Ready or not, Here we come' Leeds College of Art's graduation exhibition. Catch it until thursday based around The Art College on Blenheim Walk and Vernon Street...the events page on facebook has all the info! Sweet!

keeping it reetsweet @ shopkeepers
We had a great day at nation of shopkeepers with our mini fair on saturday, some great stalls, a lovely vibe and some amazing crafts on display... Check out the photo album here on facebook! The weather was a bit dodge so we stuck to inside on the balcony area and had balloons, mellow music, cake and everything from gorgeous prints by matt saunders, super kawaii pieces by katy kamikaze, toys by ryan stead and many many more.
Thank you to all our customers who came down on the day, nation for having us and of course all the talented stallholders who make reetsweet special!
