3 weeks to go

Yay! Just under three weeks until the Beckenham Crafty Christmas Hand-Made market. Join the Teapot Revolution and find fantastic gifts for those tricky to buy friends and family.

Under the one (warm) roof you will be able to buy puddings through to soft guitars! Yes, really. And they are C O O L. How about a gorgeous crochet hat and scarf? We're talking Glam not Gran. Or an original, handmade print? Or a chunky-knit mug warmer, handmade soap, LED signage, cushions, t-shirts, sewing kits, broches, bags, bunting.... Phew! Or, if that doesn't sound like your cup of tea, pop up the high street where you can buy bubble bath and socks!

You will be able to place an order for a bespoke LED-lit sign and it will be ready for Christmas

How cool is this? Come along on the 20 and meet the designer

Oh, and there will be mulled wine and mince pies. This is the new way to shop! Support local designers and artists and get yourself some serious brownie points. Need more info? Contact Miss SoS and she will be happy to help: thehiddenteapot@gmail.com x x

Crafty Christmas Update

hello teapots

Exciting news! The Beckenham Crafty Christmas Hand-Made Market is bursting at the seams with the best designer-made talent there is! The response of sellers has been so great that we have had to reschedule the date of the event to accommodate all of the loveliness.

The Beckenham Crafty Christmas Hand-Made Market will now be on Sunday 20 November and will start at midday until 6pm. Don't forget, this is a market with a difference.... it is held in a domestic setting not in a boring car park or windy field. You will be able to browse and buy hand-made items that can't be found anywhere else. This promises to be a fun afternoon in a really friendly atmosphere with Christmas carols and much merriment.

Over the next few weeks we will take a peek at the designers, makers, illustrators and artists confirmed to be at the event. We will showcase their work and let you know a bit about them. Our aim is to offer affordable, quality gifts and trinkets.

We are planning to have some hot food stalls so if you're peckish pop along!

If you would like more info please get in touch. Miss SoS will be happy to answer your enquiries. Email: thehiddenteapot@gmail.com

Compromised Position checks-in to the teapot

Our cheeky friends over at Compromised Position have confirmed their place at the Beckenham and Wimbledon Christmas markets.

They will be showing and selling their trademark LED-lit signage along with some as-of-yet undisclosed Christmas pieces.

If you're looking for something totally different then look no further!

Hot Love Acrylic LED-lit sign

They tell me that they are soon to have a regular presence at Greenwich indoor market so their saucy signs will be lighting up more and more interiors. We told you here first! If you can't wait til November to compromise yourself then check out their shop on Folksy: www.folksy.com/shops/CompromisedPosition
