WGW Nov 2014

not that we're biased...
splendid use of goggles

Wow!! That was one of the best weekends we've had so far at the awesome Whitby Goth Weekend. It's taken us a while to recover what with the excitement of the weekend. There was some amazing outfits being displayed in the most splendid ways and of course it was nice to see some of our regulars.

We always like it when people come back to see us to show how they've used our creations to exquisitely embellish their outfits with our creations. This Lady has used a pair of our goggles with a head-piece complimenting the rest of her outfit wonderfully.

Whitby was closed to
visitors on Saturday

Right from the start it proved to be a hectic weekend with people from all walks of life converging on Whitby in the masses. As you can see from the front page of the Whitby Gazette, the town was full and was closed to visitors on Saturday causing havoc with the Park and Ride and local bus services.

With the sun showing his face pretty much most of the time it gave a more summer feeling to the weekend, with families, steampunkers goths and other genres enjoying the unusually warm weather with a visit to the beach. It was almost warm enough to create an outdoor market!



We do, however, like our quaint setting and as it was Halloween on Friday this year some of our fellow traders decided to take the opportunity to get into the spirit of it by giving their stalls a Halloween theme. The pictures below are of our neighbours Twisted Ivy who are the first stall on the right as you go through the doors into the Spa Theatre.

This year we thought we would branch out from our hand crafted goods made with our fair hands. So we are now officially suppliers for the fantastic Nemesis Now and Alchemy. Just a little taster of whats to be expected.

Well once again with all that in mind I thought I would don you with my delights of the weekend. We had our usual Friday night supper with friends at the award winning Magpie fish restaurant followed by an enchanting day trading whilst sharing our wealth of knowledge with the lovely public in regards to our new area on our table display which was........... Drum roll please.............

New range of Leather
crafting supplies

Thats right.... we are now the proud owners of leather crafting supplies. These will soon to be listed in our etsy shop for your perusal. We have loved learning our skills over the years while making our creations. but my favourite part of all is seeing what other people do the items they buy from us. 

So as usual after a very belated update for you lovely people, Thank you for reading and hope to see you all at the next event. Which for us is the switching on of the Bewdley Christmas lights on the 29th Novemberwith one of the best firework displays to watch
