Langton Street Bridge- the “Banana Bridge” no 7. in a series

During the middle ages Bristol’s port flourished and later Bristol’s merchants found ever expanding opportunities for trade with the American Colonies. As ships became larger and shipping traffic increased the docks became more and more overcrowded.

These oh-so-cute scarflettes are hand knitted by me using only the best quality wool. Each one has a unique vintage button and/or hand knitted rose detail. These are ideal when the days start getting colder and you want to have a nice warm neck without having to lug a full length scarf round. They are so practical that you can keep them on indoors whilst also adding interest to any outfit. They come in all colours so please let me know if there is a particular shade you are after.......

These gorgeous little rattles make great and unusual gifts for new babies!
Hand felted using brightly coloured merino wool from the North of England. The innards are made from recycled plastic and mung beans- no nasty ingredients here!

Each rattle measures roughly 3 inches in diameter.

Each rattle will vary slightly from the one pictured but will be just as lovely. Your rattle will arrive individually packaged and labelled ready for giving!

These Felt Lanterns are hand made from various types of sheeps' wool and alpaca. Each one contains a small battery powered candle that presses on and off so they are very safe and don't involve naked flames.

Many people contact me wanting a specific colour or style. No problem! If you would like a button ring in specific colours just drop me a line and I'll whip something up and send you a picture before you buy to make sure it's just what you are after. I have a huge collection of vintage buttons of every sort and can almost certainly find something to suit.......
