Makers Market

Relaxing back after a wonderful Sunday! 

After speaking to a lady recently, about exhibiting Clasp Clothing at an upcoming fair, I decided to pop by today to check out the other stalls, and see how much room I will actually have!  And I have to admit, I felt a bit intimidated!  The stalls were gorgeously presented, and the people were just so, so friendly!

Definitely need to do a couple of mentions, for some stunning companies that I saw.

Surf and Silver Sea Glass Jewellery!
This amazing shop has jewellery made from sea glass, all found on the local beaches in the North East.  The owner showed me some amazing pieces, with just captivating colours.  And made so much better that if you held it against the light, all of these different colours showed through.  I love how unique every piece is, and it doesn't seem like just jewellery, but real timeless works of art.  I most definitely will be buying one of their necklaces soon, and will be sure to upload some pics.  Check out her facebook at: http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/pages/Surf-Silver-Sea-Glass-Jewellery/3186179352877

Little Town Bakery
Little Town Bakery, is owned by a fantastic lady called, Shona Morland.  She creates amazing, cakes and is so ridiculously generous.  I recently held a fundraiser for a family friend, who suffered from Cancer.  Shona travelled through to my house to deliver a gorgeous basket for me to raffle.  It was wonderful, and really touching that she would make such an effort to help us.  And back to her business!!  I have so far eaten, a delicious chocolate cup cake with butter cream icing, and strawberry cheesecake cupcakes!  Yes, Strawberry Cheescake!!  Delightful is the best word for it, so if you're based in the North East, and looking for a birthday cake, cupcakes etc, check her out!:

There is another lady who does amazing bath products, but I can't for the life of me, find her company name!  But at the next fair, I'll be buying some berry soap!  And I'll pass on her details then.

I truly can't wait to get more involved in this fair, and bring Clasp Clothing to it.  So look out for some pictures of the next fair, and anyone who is local...try and pop by to one.  They're very diverse and a really fun day out!

All Coming Together!

Wow, what a busy couple of months!  Apologies for the absolute lack in updating the blog, but from now on, it should be all systems go.

The last couple months have been spent  meeting so many lovely people, and getting so many new ideas for Clasp.  And of course, bringing the website together!: www.claspclothing.co.uk 

The company who are working on my site, certainly need a mention, for the amazing patience that they have had working with me!  I'm not the easiest person to be fair, and changed my mind on designs, colours etc constantly...But things have become finalised, so the site will be up and ready for viewing oh so soon!  So yeah, www.sourcecodedesign.co.uk - definitely worth checking out! 

The upcoming month, is all about taking Clasp Clothing out, to show people what we have to offer.  And on the 5th June, we're attending a market to showcase some stunning accessories!  It's at the Seaburn Centre, but do message me for further details!

Then on the 10th June, we're in York at a fantastic fashion fair!  By then, we should have the site live, and of course showcase more of the wonderful accesories, that will soon be featuring on the site.








Please, please let me know what you think so far!  There is so much more to come, and finally I'll be able to show the much asked about clothing! 

Don't forget to check out the Facebook page for updates at: www.facebook.com/claspclothing

And the fun thing is....all of these items are now available to purchase.  In the UK and abroad!  Send us a message to enquire about getting your hands on some Clasp!
