Creative Café #2 ★

short but sweet post today. . .

ok folks, it's time for another Creative Café post so get your cup of tea/coffee/juice/whatever ready and settle down for some more creative goodness

today's post is all about the fabulous Lisa Procter aka Pennycones

she's a British fashionista/maker who sells and buys the most glorious vintage clothing 

and she also makes exquisite little handmade goodies and garments using vintage fabrics

i'm an especially big fan of her gorgeous little handmade bow ties


and as we all know, bow ties don't necessarily have to be worn around your neck! (remember the Lanvin bow tie that i wore as a headband?! - Brilliant Birmingham)


they're so cute though aren't they! a very lovely and very versatile little accessory



her etsy shop is chock full of all manner of vintage goodies
 


as well as some really gorgeous handmade stuff






 


 she also makes the most adorable dresses for toddlers and little girls, they are just so cute!



as if all that wasn't enough, there's even the odd super duper vintage item floating about her shop as well



aaah it's all so lovely! don't you just love it all!!!

well there you go, hope you enjoyed that, like i said it won't always be an illustrator or a painter that gets a 'creative café' feature, it might be an aspiring fashion designer, a graphic design student, a fine artist, an embroiderer or any other creative type!

stay tuned for the next post though, it's all about a fabulous photographer

that's all folks . . . ◕‿◕ ★ xX
