Denim floral bucket bag

Denim floral embroided bucket bag

 

Denim floral embroided bucket bag

I was still adding the finishing stitches to this on the day of the event!  For this very individual summer bucket bag I’m asking just £18 + £2 postage & packing. 

Recycled denim – – – embroided flowers and hearts – – – a few hours of beading work! – – – beautiful top quality floral printed cotton edging.  This is a bucket bag – – – it stands firmly upright because of the thick plastic type material lining the bag.  The top edge of the rigid plastic is hidden from view as there is a rich purple ribbon sewn around the top.  Has a unique cushion in the base (same floral print as edging).  Cute bucket bag / purse ideal for the summer! 

Height without including handle 17 cm, and circumference, 13.5 cm.

* Remember, this bag is ONE of a kind,

took MANY hours to create and handstitch! *

The first event

We did it, Sugar and me, womanned and bitched our own table with The Little Log Cabin goodies – – – and plenty of lolly pops and teddy bear sweets for the kiddies!

our table

...and another of the table

 I drank plenty of Tim Horton’s coffee (thx to Fiance and a good thermos flask!)  But hated the humidity of the day (today is pouring in buckets!)

Wasn’t a huge success…but got a feel for what this particular event was about, namely people clearing out their old junk, selling it for next to nothing.  I bought a pretty, square, wicker basket, the 4 sides decorated with straw(?) fruit; a handheld mirror from the 30’s or 40’s (cos I loved the design on the back of it, which reminded me of medieval embroidery, also I like to collect from that period); and a couple of craft mags, one of which I gave to Mum…

Mum’s homemade greeting cards sold well.  especially the cute dollys! 😀

Although my various jewellery and bags / purses were admired no one bought…I assume due to the fact that this was just the wrong event for that.

I sold a few old books (I’m too much of a bookworm, needing to regularly go through all my reading material, which is usually donated to charity shops, family or friends) and was pleased that someone bought a jar of my apple chutney. 

All in all, a worthwhile experience, nice meeting the neighbours and holiday makers and getting an idea of what this particular event is really about!
