We Love Trees!

If you're out and about in Beckenham you may find our posters on trees in and around the area. Daddy Teapot and I have been out and about today spreading the word of the teapot! We have found this method of advertising our event to be the most effective.

But please be reassured, we hate litter and we love trees so as soon as the event is over, we'll return to the trees we have borrowed and remove the posters!

It's no Mystery as local Author appears at the Xmas Market.....

Indeed! Local author, Christopher Bowden, will be selling signed copies of his literary mysteries at the forthcoming market! If you're stuck for a gift idea then this could be it! His novels The Blue Book, The Yellow Room, The Red House and The Green Door will be available for purchase and will be signed by Christopher himself.

The notoriously hard to buy for will be a thing of the past once a visit to the Crafty Christmas Market has been undertaken. Investigate no further and snoop along on Sunday 29 November. Entry is Free!

The Alexandra Nurseries in Penge, SE20, http://www.alexandranurseries.co.uk proved the perfect location to take some snaps of the Fabulous Fripperies new range of retro-inspired clutch bags.

Rosa looked beautiful on the day with her modern day Victory Rolls and vintage-style outfit. She wore a genuine vintage coat by Boo to a Goose, drank tea and ensured the FabFrip range of products looked even more amazing!

The range will be available at The Crafty Christmas market, coming soon on November 29 in Beckenham. Yee-haa!

Calling vintage cowgirls!

Hey y'all! Love vintage? Then you'll love the new range of clutch bags designed and made by Fabulous Fripperies and available on the www.sos15.co.uk webstore.

There's not tons of PR re these beauties as stock on them is low. The range is still under development but they'll be ready in time for Christmas and will be showcased at Beckenham's Crafty Christmas Market, November 29. These will make amazing gifts!!

Come back soon to see how it went! x x x

It's all going on....

Yikes, Miss SoS hates to wait! But even she must wait as the cogs of the making-machine turn in preparation for the marvellous maker-tables at the forthcoming Crafty Christmas Market.

But here's a heads-up – our jewellery maker-table is going to be every (big) girls dream! Jam-packed with all you'll need to create your own, uber-cool, acrylic jewellery pieces. We'll be catching-up with the designer behind these gorgeous pieces real soon so you won't have to wait too long.... If you really can't wait to make your own then head on over to Etsy where you can buy these lush designs: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/VictoriaMariaS?ref=l2-shopheader-name

Harriet is Back in Town!

Ah, the glamorous and ever-so-talented Ms Harriet Eaves, will be back in town this Novemer. BR3 can revel in retro once more as the jazz vocalist visits the Crafty Christmas Market for a second year.

It is quite the coup and we can't wait to hear some of our festive favourites performed in Ms Eaves inimitable style... A finalist in Miss Vintage UK, H is rushed off her kitten heels but has popped the Hidden Teapot in her diary as she had so much fun with us last year. We can't wait for November 29th to arrive!

Hey, we're back!

Has it really been a year since the Hidden Teapot was live? It would seem so, where has the time gone?

Well, it is fair to say that Miss SoS has been super busy and has had little time to blog here, on the Teapot. But it's that time of year once more... the leaves are falling and the temperature is dropping  so Christmas can't be too far away. And the Hidden Teapot is back! This years 'Crafty Christmas Market' will be held on Sunday November 29 at our usual venue in BR3.

Not only will you be able to browse and buy beautiful gifts and Christmassy items, this year, you will have the chance to make your own!

We will have a host of 'maker tables'  where artists and makers will be on-hand to assist you in making your own gorgeous gifts. Confirmed are a ceramicist and jewellery designer with more to follow. If you have always fancied trying your hand at a craft project then come along to our Crafty Market. The tables will be available throughout the day. There will be no need to book, you can just drop-in.

As you can imagine, excitement levels are HIGH! Keep an eye on the blog for up-to-date info about the day and our creative artisans and makers.
