How many times in our lifetime will we see a
proper Royal Wedding?? I say 'proper', cos loads of Royals have got married in recent years, but how many of them are a) 2nd in line to the throne and b) marrying a regular girl with no title of her own therefore turning the 'girl next door' into a real life princess?
Just about everyone is cashing in on the Royal Wedding at the moment. Some are doing it out of pure
greed to see what money they can make out of some cheap and nasty tatt
but many are doing it in
celebration of such a great event which comes around once in a blue moon. (Please note I am part of the second group!)
In celebration of what will be The Wedding of The Year, I have created two lovely items: a teacosy and a shopping bag!
The Tea Cosy
Many people will be having street/garden/tea parties to celebrate Prince William's nuptials, so I thought it would be very fitting to make a tea cosy using the
Royal Wedding Fabric from Makower. You can't get any more quintessentially British than a tea cosy...
I bought both the navy print and the cream print and they are both equally lovely. Theses tea cosies will look fabulous on any afternoon tea, even after the wedding! If you'd like one, you can
purchase it here.
The Shopping Bag
Plastic bags are
ugly. There, I said it. I have always thought this and now more than ever, I am always on the look out for
lovely new bags to carry my shopping in. I love saying "It's alright, I don't need a bag" and then whipping out the latest addition to my burgeoning bag collection (many people have asked me about my bag of choice, the most popular being my Dirty Dancing bag, but that is another story!).
So naturally, as soon as I saw the Royal Wedding fabric, I thought 'that would make a fab bag!'.
If you want one of thes royal bags for yourself, then pop over to my wee
Etsy shop!
