Is it too early for a Christmas post?

Now that I am in the full swing of preparations for Blue String Vintage and Handmade Fair, Christmas is feeling closer and closer.  As it gets nearer to December, people, (well my family anyway) are usually beginning to think about Christmas gifts and decorations, so I knew that at Blue String I definitely wanted to include some Christmassy stock as well as all .

This week I have been very busy making rag wreaths, Christmas bunting, stockings, present tags and tree decorations to sit alongside my other stock and I thought I would share them with you.

I have been trawling through trusty old Pinterest and getting inspiration for my Christmas wreath designs and I decided to make lovely ones made out of strips of fabric and ribbon.

We have a whole load of Christmassy colour themes going on, but here is the traditional red, white and green theme, with a few bits of hessian and gold added in for a change of texture. Oh and some heart beads, because who doesn't want hearts?

There are some smaller wreaths on the go too, in icy blues and whites and pinks and mauves. Hopefully there will be one for every taste, whatever your colour theme. I will be able to do these larger ones to order too! More on this later.

I am really excited to show my tree decorations and bunting as well, which were really popular with my friends and family last year. I will be uploading more pictures of what I will be bringing to Blue String soon and maybe a blog layout update too!
