My new red corduroy shorts

I finished a pair of new shorts for winter last week. The design is based on a pair of Long John from 1930s' that I found in Leftovers before. Love the curvy front yoke and the back adjusters, I decided to bring these details to this new design. I amended the patterns by adding front pleats and side pockets.

Vintage Cards

Some lovely vintage cards bought from Portobello Market. They are from Wayward, the same haberdashery stall in Brighton Market I visited last time.

Craft Central


I visited Renegade Craft Fair in The Old Truman Brewery today. Happy to see my friend Yuka first exhibiting her own label Minus Sun there. It is a exciting event that shoppers can see more than eighty amazing independent makers selling their handmade goods in the fair including jewelry, clothing, prints, paintings, home-wares..... It is free-to-attend. Tomorrow will be the last day of this craft fair. Anyone who hasn't visited should check it out. Minus Sun will also showcase in Handmade in Britain from 28th to 30th in this month.

Summer again

A lovely sunny weekend in Brighton. Walked along the seafront in the morning. Had great lunch and tea. Shopped in Brighton Flea Market. And enjoyed the sunshine in the late UK summer time.

Alice Liddell


Visited Oxford on a half-sunny and half-rainy day. I was surprised to discover two shops in this historic town. Walters the Man Shop, the menswear shop selling classic and new labels pluses modern and traditional hair-dressing department within a three-floor building. Liscious Interior is an antique shop on quiet Walton Street. Many quality antiques, art pieces and furniture are on sale now due to the shop relocation. I also went to Alice's Shop. Admiring for real Alice's clothing and her dreamy adventures, I'm obsessed with the amazing fairy tale after this trip.

New antique found
