During the same weekend as the Super Christmas Market our friends at Viva Cake were hosting the Shoreditch Sisters WI Christmas party. They asked us to host the jewellery making area in the Arts and Crafts Theatre room...how could we say no? So when the market finished at 6pm on the Saturday evening we all jumped in a cab outside Somerset House and raced east towards the George Tavern. We had about half an hour to set up and with this being our fifth event in five weeks it was a breeze, we even managed to fit in a visit to the bar!
The theme for our jewellery making area was "Bows 'n' Badges". We had a pile of fabric squares and templates to make bows and the badge machine for customers to design their own badges. So for a mere £5 customers could join our tables and make as many pieces of jewellery from bows and badges as they liked. We also brought along a sewing machine, drill, oodles of jewellery parts and 2 big ole boxes full of bits 'n' bobs and odds 'n' ends for customers to rummage through and use to customize their creations with.
We were of course on hand to help make stuff, advise and bring ideas to the table - how about a red sequin trim? Have you considered a jingle-jangle gold bell? We also had time to decorate yummy gingerbread on the stall next to us and sift through the stalls piled high with second hand gems. I purchased a mustard colour pouring jug with cherry motifs for £4 which was part of a set I had found a few years ago at flea market in Berlin. Result.
We met the lovely girls from French Kiss vintage, but I had a feeling we'd met before...? After sharing a mince pie we realised they had come to the Dolls' Night Out party in the summer, bought Tattoo Heart necklaces and we had photographed them for our flickr page. Small world, huh?
The Arts and Crafts night wrapped at about 10pm just in time for us to see the bands. The sixties lookin' quartet Betty and the Werewolves were up first and they were so cute! Fast guitars, sweet lyrics and a dead kooky look - I loved 'em!
But this lady was somethin' else! Madam Flo and the Bon Ton Roulet. They opened with a Wanda Jackson number and I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Then our taxi came.
