So this time I thought I would add a bit of extra spice to my pop up shop by asking Lou Tonkin who is a local textile artist in Cornwall. To join forces with me for my next pop up shop. I was so excited when Lou agreed to come on board even with the short notice as I only got around to asking her two days before the pop up shop opened its doors. (Note to self I must get more organised!)
Lou creates beautiful pieces of art work and gifts, by hand felting farmers local wool in Cornwall. Not only does she create hand felted items she also has another arrow in her bow and creates stunning prints on fabric that are either framed or used in one of her hand felt creations.

So two day before we open Lou says YES and I jump up and down but we both have busy diary's and young families so can not actually be in the shop at the same time to set up ready for today. Resulting in me going in yesterday morning and setting up Emu's goodies and Lou setting up in the afternoon. We have a real miss match of collections but when they are put together the result is great.

Opening the door this morning I was so excited I suppose is the best word to explain how I felt and my breath was taken away by the way both our work has come together.
We are holding the pop up shop in St.Austell Market House from Saturday 19th till Saturday 26th with felting workshops on the Tuesday 15th with Lou and make your own journal workshops with my self Emu on Saturday 26th.
Any way enough of me chatting away here our some pics of our great handmade goodies and how the pop up shop has come together.
If you are passing St.Austell Market House during the week please pop in and say hello.
Thank You for popping by
