We had a grand time on Saturday delving into all the handmade and vintage inspired clothing and accessories at the Bust Holiday Craftacular at York Hall in Bethnal Green. On arrival we got goody bags stuffed with pretty flyers,  handmade jewellery a cute sewing kit and a free copy Bust magazine. We bumped into a few of our friends including Rosa of Rosielee Clothing who was dishing out our flyers whilst selling her beautiful 40’s style hats, handcrafted jewellery designer Bbel and creator of the most beautiful floral accessories A. Alicia . We also found a whole bunch of new designers with lovely goodies from dresses, retro lingerie and handmade recycled stationery, we have already booked meetings with some of them with the intention of snapping up their goodies for Queeni-B Boutique.
Meanwhile, across the pond Evette Rios visited the Los Angeles Craftacular on the same day in the US where among other things she met with Bust’s Susan Juvet to the scoop in why Craftacular first began.

Urban Cross Stitch, the creative brainchild of London based pattern-cutter Phil Davison have relaunched their website. Previously random-monkey designs played host to all info about this kooky craft brand inspired by street art and popular culture but now they have a new site www.urban-cross-stitch.com with updates about new products, crafty events and a super artistic photo gallery. We think it’s great and worth checking out.

We already have a selection of retro homeware, gifts and accessories from Urban Cross Stitch at Queeni-B Boutique and we made a conscious effort to pick their most retro pieces so check out our Urban Cross Stitch Collection.
