The Creative Directory: Tinycup Needleworks


'Hand embroidery for the high lonesome'



Did you ever see anything so lovely? I like that the Tinycup Instagram profile popped up on my recommended feed based on 'photos you have liked' so I guess I have a thing for skeletons!


The detail is absolutely incredible on such a tiny scale and gives a real sharp, prefect finish to each piece.


They're made by Britt Hutchinson and you can see more on the Tinycup Instagram and website.

The Creative Directory: Bowler Vintage

http://bowlervintage.co.uk/
 
In a sentence:
The greatest vintage shop in Yorkshire and certainly one of York's many treasures.
 









Without a doubt, every time I visit York I visit Bowler and last Tuesday was no exception. As soon as you walk in the door you're presented with this vast emporium of richness. I can't stress enough how much I love this place! I have so many things I've bought from here. I've got my sunglasses, polka dot shirt and two paisley shirts and a wooly hat for Ben.
It's such a good place for vintage gear because they have such a large range of everything, you're really spoiled for choice. I must take Alex here some day, she would just die!



 



The sunglasses here are always absolutely killer. I was umm-ing and ahh-ing over those orange ones for a long time. I eventually decided it was probably for the best to save my last bit of cash for the bus. Seeing them again now has made me realize that was a terrible decision. Style before common sense God damn it!



It's a must see in person if you're ever in York but if you're further a field you should have a look through the online shop.
Ps. Check out their Instagram for the cutest dog you'll ever see!

The Creative Directory: Satchel & Sage

http://www.satchelandsage.com/



In a sentence:
Creative duo Morgana and Gerren bringing forth unique handmade wares for the stylishly outdoors-y type.


Sample the goods:


Prickly Pear print
Screen print on wood




Longhorn bull print
 

Home Is Happiness on wood



You don't really need to guess twice as to why this is a favourite of mine but it certainly will make you look twice. A real striking piece that would look marvelous on any wall.  
 
 
 
Why:
 
Well it's certainly the first time I've ever seen something screen printed onto wood. I think this stuff is gorgeous. They also do a stationery and textiles range which is equally lovely.
