Badges

You may have already seen but we bought ourselves, at Bird In Borrowed Feathers, a badge maker! We've been having far too much fun creating badges from our collection of vintage fabrics. At the weekend we visited our local car boot sale and picked up a great selection of vintage books, full of retro illustrations, diagrams and photos, which are perfect for turning into badges!

We've already listed a selection onto our Etsy shop and will be adding more in bigger sizes soon.

We do of course, have a growing selection of badges available in our bricks & mortar shop in Nottingham.

Exciting News!

We've been working on a snazzy new project which we can now finally share with you!

We are opening our own bricks and mortar, real life, actual shop!

We signed the contract last week and are nearly ready to start moving in and decorating, as well as contacting suppliers etc. We are both sooo excited! It's something we've wanted to do for a long time and it's lovely to see it finally happening.

Our shop will be called Bird In Borrowed Feathers, same as the blog and our current vintage fabric shop. We'll be stocking a beautiful selection of handmade products from local and national designers as well as a tiny selection of carefully chosen vintage home wares.

The shop is not big, in fact, it's tiny! But it's a good place to start and will be easy to maintain, decorate and stock as a new shop.

So from now on, we will be sharing our progress with the shop here on the blog as well as over on our Facebook page and Twitter. So follow us to get all the sneak peeks as we start decorating and furnishing our little shop!

To start with, here's a quick pic of the outside of the shop. (I took it on my phone, so it's not amazing) We think it has a lot of potential! The shutter on the right does open, so we'll have lots of windows and light which is nice.
