'The Advent Calender of Wonderfulness' 1: The Hidden Lane Tearoom
Behind the first window is the most beautiful, cosy, creative and scrumptious tearoom in the world. The Hidden Lane Tearoom. If you haven't discovered this gem of a place yet then it is the perfect getaway from the biting cold. It's hidden away down the aptly named Hidden Lane in Glasgow's west end.
The owner, Kirsty, reinvented this cute mezzanined building into a cake grotto! Filled with masterminded cakes, vintage crockery and teas galore, I'm there at least once a week for her tasty deli board scones. She also does high tea! Everything is served on dainty mis-matched crockery and tastes delicious. Some of her vintage teasets are for sale as well as selected work from exhibiting artists and local designers. She also welcomes local artisans and musicians to put on workshops and gigs in a warm environment. So far there's been life drawing, live music and knitting classes. Check it oot!

Advent Calender of Wonderfulness!
Hello Fancy Ones!
I've decided to compile an alternative advent calender to count down to Christmas this year. Each day I will feature a Scottish designer, artist or small creative business that I adore. There are so many wonderful things out there to choose from and probably hundreds more that I am yet to discover, but as of now these are my Advent Calender of Wonderfulness!

Sneaky Peeks
Hello! The sun is sneakily peeking through the clouds so I'm going to post some new Fantoosherie peeks in the hope to coax it out! Especially for Saturday's extravaganza in Edinburgh.
I've been working with lots of chiffon, lace and organza for a light fairy-summer feel. I've also been collecting lots of gorgeous charms and lockets and received some wonderful bejewelled donations from kind followers, so nestled in the light folds these little gems are hiding.
Hope to see you on Saturday fancy peeps xxx

Fantoosherie Knows Where Spring Is Hiding
If some of you are peering out your windows today and sighing over the gray, grim gloom outside do not fear because Fantoosherie knows where spring is hiding! - and it's only 18 sleeps away! Actually that is still a bit too far away for my liking!
I'm talking about the Made In The Shade Spring Time Jamboree!!!
Not only is the event taking place in the Lighthouse ("yes the Lighthouse is open for this event"!) but it will be packed with 30+ independent designers, makers and crafters and Fantoosherie is one of 'em!
The MITS girls are also organising cool activities for the day too like a retro photo booth, a packed vintage dressing room (guys and girls clothing) and collective bunting making! I'm really excited. And it's something warm and colourful to look forward to in all this gray gloomy rain!
They will also be giving away free goodie bags for the first 100 people to arrive and Fantoosherie will have some money off vouchers hiding in some of them. Over the next two weeks i'll be posting sneaky peeks at some of the new fabric accessories i'll be selling there. Hope to see you there - these events never disappoint.
Oh and Freeeeeeee Entry!
Stay Fancy

Fantoosherie Goes Screen Printing
Hello Fancy People! I've been dying to make some funky packaging for all the new Fantoosherie goodies and being a stationary obsessive it took me quite a while to make a definite decision! I wanted everything to reflect the fact that our jewellery is re-cycled and re-worked so I found a fantastic local supplier of 100% recycled boxes and thought I'd screen print all my labels and business cards on re-claimed tweed and denim.
All I had to do was convince the boys at Glasgow Badges to let me come up and screen print my fabric. They screen print t-shirts and merchandise for bands and clubs so my demands weren't what they were used to but they got well stuck in! They suggested I use a hot pink ink with a puff gel in it so the text is slightly raised off the fabric for maximum tactile appeal!
Ooo I love it, thanks boys you are talented! The new packaging will be available with Fantoosherie purchases from our etsy shop and all upcoming crafty events which I will be posting soon.
Until then stay fancy xxx
