Vintage Sindy Carboot sale bargains!

Vintage Sindy Carboot sale bargains!, originally uploaded by NaughtyPixie / Forest_Blythe.

Had an amazing day at the car boot sale today.
I have started a dolls house so I am anxious to start filling it, ideally with vintage Sindy.

So, what was the first thing I found at the carboot sale?
A box of vintage Sindy furniture for £3!!

I've been looking at this bureau on Ebay, now if I could just find the dressing table, room divider, clothes rail and kitchen dresser.

I also got this lonely Sindy doll for 50p but don't tell my husband, I don't need another collection lol. Check out my Flickr to see my other bargains and some piccies of my Dolls house in progress.
I'm going to make a blog post about it soon.

Happy Carbooting!

NEW COLLECTION! "Stitched by Pixies" In shop now!

STITCHED BY PIXIES.

Here is my current collection "Stitched by Pixies".

This collection was inspired by the fabric used for my banner, I love the natural background and the contrasting red stitches.

The whole collection is red with a sewing theme detailed with matching pom pom trim and beautiful woven and printed cotton tape and ribbons. Of course there is plenty of linen and combinations of calico.

I took this Collection to Blythecon and the remaining dresses are now in my Etsy shop :D

I hope you like it.

Blythecon UK 2010!

It seems like months that I've been preparing and making for Blythecon and it was over so quickly!

WHAT A GREAT DAY!!

I am still a complete newbie to the world of Blythe, I haven't even owned one for a whole year yet, I only started selling in my shop in February but it feels like I've been doing this forever.

I've gathered 3 dolls in that time (even though I often forget that Pixie is a fakie, *gasp!*).

Anyway, I thought what have a got to lose! And booked a stall, they were reasonably priced and I would be going anyway.

My stall.

I'M SO GLAD I DID! It was a great place to keep base and take the whole day in.

Everyone had name badges so any visitors to my stall that I recognised the name of were greated with "I'm NaughtyPixie, I follow you on Twitter/Flickr" lol I'm such a stalker.

Boutique de Lupi

I was on a long table with MASSIVE names in Blythe and Blythe clothes, Jaszmade, Bambina Carabina and Boutique de Lupi.

Thankfully on the other table next to me I was one of my best friends, Barbara of Such Jaunt, so we huddled in the corner together as noobs. lol.

SuchJaunt hiding lol.

When the doors opened IT WAS HEAVING! They had such a great turnout I was so pleased for the organisers. Of course everyone was rushing to get the Eurotrash and Bambina Carabina helmets first.

Bambina Carabina

I was quite pleased to make a sale fairly quickly, one of my Antique Attic dresses, the collection I am hoping to finish soon.

The day continued with steady sales and lovely comments on my stall and dresses.

DollyMixture

I met so many people I've seen online, too many to remember! The ones that really stick out were DollyMixture a fellow East Anglian and brilliant dolly designer, SmallGirlWorld soo friendly a real pleasure to meet, Little Moshi from Moshi Moshi Wow, I was really honoured to sell her a dress then realised who she was when I visited her stall! Amazingly talented and inspirational, I even met her Gentle River and wasn't disapointed IRL! Lucy Goosey, such a friendly character full of energy. KatiesSmallWorld, probably my best customer of the day!

Moshi Moshi stall.

Candypop and her shopaholic mum, Hauntshold, SakuraBlythe, Lucy_Loves and her lovely dolly Lyra. KittenLash, Puzzlemint, Flissy all lovely lovely people, I hope I haven't forgotten anyone.

Fashion competition.

I entered Forest into the Fashion Design Competition :D I made her an Antique Attic dress and a linen trench coat, I put on extra motifs for the comp. She also had my handmade tights and I made her a little lace birds nest headband.

SHE WON!!! I was so proud! Thank you so much everyone who voted for her. I had so many lovely comments when I stodd her on my stall. I had hoped that a pair of granny boots from Paradise dolls would arrive in time to really finish off the outfit but it seems it didn't matter :D

I won a lovely bag of ribbons and fabrics! Some are truly lovely.

I also won a SarahBoirin Reroot in the raffle, I have no idea what to get! Eek!
I bought two strips of tickets but typically won on the free ticket I got with my entrance fee lol.

I didn't allow myself to buy much as I took the day off work and wanted to cover that with my sales so I bought a PinkyJane yellow mac, a Funny Bunny embroidered leaf dress and a suchJaunt Save the trees bag :D

My buys.

I am so glad I had a stall for my first Blythe meet if I was just wandering I probably wouldn't have met all the lovely people I did. Although I didn't see any of the demonstrations but that was just laziness, I could have got hubby Rob to man the stall.

I also got to meet Gina Garan briefly, I didn't ask for a photo though as I was feeling a bit shy lol.

I hope I've not missed any details out, it went by sooo fast!!!!

I really hope it happens again next year, or maybe the year after if the organisers need a rest.

What a week! MaidenSuit appreciation post :D

I've been FRANTICALLY preparing for Blythecon over the past week and boy did it pay off!


I even roped others into my preparations lol and commissioned MaidenSuit to make me an embroidered sign. She well and truly did me proud and worked so fast getting this finished and in the post for me in time for the convention. So I'm dedicating this entire post to her.


I'll get all my stalking done in one go, hopefully it will make me look less of a weirdo but I'm her number one fan!


So without further a doo!! Here is my amazing sign!!!:




We set up a trade, so I am going to make her gorgeous Blythe family some dresses and I can't wait to see them wearing my creations. Jane and I are kindred spirits when it comes to Blythe dolls and Blythe style, I even adopted one of her dolls. She's a very creative crocheter, embroidered and photographer.


When the parcel arrived I squealed out loud and did a little dance around the kitchen because Jane had been very naughty and included one of her famous Deer Pixie Hoods!!!
I couldn't believe it! It was my birthday earlier that week so it made my week! It was also the exact colour I would have chosen, see kindred spirits.


Here is Forest in the fabulous hat!!!


Of course MaidenSuit has an Etsy shop and a great blog so please take a look and bookmark them both for whimsical inspiration :D
