Oldies but goodies! Come meet Bec, Jill and Brionny at Reetsweet Dec

We have a few regulars at reetsweet who epitomise what the fairs are about: the original, the fun, the quirky and cool.

Bec Gilray, obsessive letterpress operative behind 'Do you punctuate?' will be back to sell at the Dev show with a new collection of Christmas paper goods, plus some old all-year/round favourites:





Plus we welcome back Jill Smith from 'Jil made this' who now hosts her work at the lovely 'Handpicked Hall' at the top of town, Jill was one of first reetsweeters to join our gang with her hand printed cushions and gifts:





And last but certainly not least, we can't wait to see what Brionny from 'Foxbunting' has been beavering away making. Her iconic 'crochetdermy' heads have become part of reetsweet's biggest hits and we always look forward to seeing her excellent fringe (nb: wish mine would stay that straight!):





Catch these beauts and more at reetsweet's Dec 7th show in Leeds.

Feb Fair Previews: Oldies (but goodies!)

Hello again from us!

Happy New Year, we trust you had an excellent rest over the festive period? So, January, not much fun, or glamour to it is there? Well for a bit of brightening up, we thought that throughout January we shall be posting our top picks and previews for the Feb event in Leeds on Feb 2nd. 

To get us started we thought we might give your appetite for sexy craft a little tease with a look at some returning makers who have taken part before in the last 3 years who will be with us in Feb....these folk represent the very best in handmade and they epitomise what reetsweet is all about!

Bec Gilray from 'Doyoupunctuate?'
Letterpress obsessive, this lovely lady makes all manner of printed goods, cards, stationery, gift wrap, all with a unique and refeshing tone, we love her.




Sarah Fordham aka 'Magasin'
Mental crosstitcher the likes of which can either delight or confuse, (we frickin' love her humour!) she handstitches badges, earrings, cufflinks and even makes crosstitch boobies! One to watch! We love her giant crosstich brooches the best.



Kim from 'Finest Imaginary'
Has blossomed from being a part time jewellery designer in to a top class independent full time maker, an incredibly popular blogger and stationer.. there doesn't seem to be much she can't do and every event she has new ideas and seasonal items!
