i found some of the notonthehighstreet regulars - hello harriet, oh no rachio! (i finally snapped up a totes! tote from rachel) and ladybird likes, but sadly missed out on seeing a favourite laser cut jewellery designer/maker of mine, kim from finest imaginary. i did however discover a new favourite shop this weekend - and smile, run by pink-haired viktorija. a couple of her adorable hand drawn and painted brooches were snapped up for christmas present, but it wasn't until i got home that i realised she'd popped a little surprise in the bag for me! officially a new favourite, purely for the customer experience element.
i was only in the hall for less than an hour before i'd had enough. the crowds, the cold, my nose constantly running.. there was a lot to see, but sadly nothing i hadn't seen there last year. i suspect i need to broaden my indie designer/maker circle, and find some new artists to follow.
which are your favourite shops or makers to follow on instagram?
Oh gosh, I rreeeeally want a Kate Rowland Twin Peaks brooch. So bad. My obsession is huuuuuge at the moment.
ReplyDeleteEvery year I miss out on Renegade. Must. be. better. organised! I love events like this, I recently went to the Manchester Print Fair but I guess it's not the same as Renegade. Thanks for letting me live my life through you ;-) xx
