reetsweet sheffield: march 10th previews

Good week reetsweeters?

Happy weekend! It's just a week to go until our event at The Millennium Gallery, Sheffield on Sat 10th March ... And there's still a lot of makers that we haven't revealed yet, and secrets up our sleeve, we open at 11am, and the first 10 people through the door will receive a prize, so make sure you get down fast!

Sian Wheatcroft is joining us from 'Strawberry Kitten', Sian made one of my favourite things ever - a panda bear that sits in my bedroom wearing a scarf (hey, I never said I was mature!) and she has a unique talent for making lovely bears and homewares that adults and kids can enjoy - they are not only super cute, but also super stylish! I am very excited about her new pieces...

reetsweet sheffield: march 10th previews

Hello again reetsweeters!

I always have time for jewellery, don't you? Even when things are tight, I can always spare a few pennies for some nice jewellery! Purveyor of some lovely vintage look pieces is Laura from 'Laura's Lockets' who will be appearing at the March 10th event. Here's a preview of her newest stock and a bit about her...



'My jewellery making started off as a hobby and my desire to make something to wear that no one else was wearing. I’m self taught (with a little help from a few websites and books to start me off!) and my love of charms and crafting has evolved into my business Laura’s Locket Jewellery.

I live and work in Sheffield and have been making jewellery for the last 6-7 years attending many of the Sheffield-based fairs and markets and selling through my website. This tends to keeps my craft addiction at bay but after moving into my first house I am feeling the need for everything to be handmade!'




'I aim to provide a range of pretty vintage inspired jewellery often with a bit of a quirky twist. I love hunting for unusual charms and try to keep ahead of the high street chains (which is certainly a huge challenge!). This usually means spending hours trawling the internet and bead shops and of course my range is full of lockets but I try and find lots of other lovely vintage charms too. My favourites at the moment are my printed lockets and animal charms but I continue to make some of my old favourites as well...'
