The Twiggy designed brief case! Inspires me to design my own version!

I was having a chat with my sister today who is planning on purchasing a vintage case to decorate with paper and PVA glue. It reminded me of a case I saw on etsy which had been decorated with a Twiggy theme which I have a picture of below:

The case is currently for sale on etsy at the following link:

I think its a fantastic piece of design and really well decorated. I have to admire this seller for her creativity.

Its inspired both me and my sister to make our own with images we love but we both have to find the right case first!

Spitalfields Market

Last Saturday I went to Judy's Vintage Fair at Spitalfields Market in London. I enjoy attending these sorts of fairs because there are lots of vintage clothing and accessories for sale. I also find visiting these fairs can be good source of inspiration for my future design work.

I arrived early thinking there would be lots of people but it was surprisingly quiet, which was nice as I could look at the stalls in a relaxing environment.

Whilst there I came across a stall which stocked lots of fun and quirky knitting related items.
