It’s always interesting arriving at Middleton Hall Courtyard for the Leather Ladies’ fortnightly pop-up shop.  We never know what we’ll have to contend with as we set up for the day.  Last Sunday 10th April was no exception and quite the most exciting so far – we ended up in a completely different shop!

Luckily we’re pretty resourceful so we’d soon re-jigged our display to fit our new surroundings and were ready to greet our visitors.  As the sun came out and moved round to our little corner Hazel suggested that it would be good to take our work outside.  Hazel has been making some super plaited leather bracelets and she wanted to fix the press stud fastenings on them.

I love the little line of completed bracelets.  Well the artisan-style hammering certainly got us noticed (that was part of the cunning plan).  Then it was time for me to have a go.

The little press studs we were using are also known as “Durable Dots” so we now have new aliases, “Durable Dot and Rosie the Riveter”.

I wonder where’ll we be in two weeks’ time?
