Products of the week

 
Ribbon and Button Summer Brooches

Vintage Brooch and Pearl Tiara






 
 
While I was rummaging through my various boxes looking for some inspiration the other day, I came across some grosgrain ribbon in purple and blue random stripes that I bought last year in Bath. I didn't get very much of it, which is a shame, but when I rediscovered it I immediately thought summery thoughts. So with a bit of playing and a few buttons the result was a little trio of summer flower brooches that would add some individuality to summer t-shirt or cardi.

 One of my other productions this week is the Vintage Brooch and pearl bridal Side Tiara. I have been collecting brooches for a little while now, the one I used for this project was without its fastening. Again without much idea what I was going to do I sat and fiddled and twisted some wire until I had a tiara that i myself would love to wear.

A nice cushion for a gift for a friend


My lovely crafters have also been busy, and their new items this week are the ever popular cushions designed and made  by Ragbags she always chooses the most gorgeous fabrics and buttons and they make a really lovely gift for a friend.
Stained glass pieces are also very popular and this absolutely beautiful Turquoise heart will probably not stay in the shop too long, the colours are just amazing, and will look wonderful hanging up in a conservatory, i would be thrilled if anybody chose me a gift like that.
With most of the items in Coccuveda made locally there is always some unique things for sale and all with a minimal carbon footprint.
