I've decided to take the plunge and join something I've been reading about for a while -
Handmade Monday which takes place, yes you guessed right, every Monday on the fantastic
Handmade Harbour blog.
This post is to join in on the
91st Handmade Monday and it was after reading the gorgeous blog post from a fellow Etsian, Natalie from
Free Spirit Designs which also featured my
Poppy Appeal Brooch that I decided to join in.

But today I wanted to share my newest VW Campervan, which has been designed for a wedding! The lovely customer who's bought it is the sister of the Groom and she was able to sneakily find out what colour Campervan the couple have hired to be their wedding car and so I've been commissioned to match their cuddly camper to it! Such a lovely idea.... what do you think?

It would seem a lot of people are choosing to incorporate Campervans into their wedding plans, so I'm hoping this will become an integral part of the VW range.... watch this space for more news!
oh, that is adorable! Welcome to handmade monday. Love the poppy too. I look forward to seeing more of your makes.

I'm a recent joiner to Handmade Monday myself, welcome! I love both your brooch and the camper van!
ReplyDeleteThe camper vans gorgeous. I love the fact it has wheels. Others I've seen just have fabric circles on the side. The poppy is lovely, hope it's raised lots of money.

Welcome to Handmade Monday - warning, it becomes very addictive!
ReplyDeleteI love your camper van - perhaps I should get you to make one for my husband who craves a real one, but isn't allowed to have one (I don't "do" camping in any way, shape or form!)!
Ohhh my computer won't let me do direct replies today for some reason, but thank you all for your lovely welcomes! Am slowly working my way through everyones blogs - they're fab and addictive and I can see me doing no work today!
ReplyDeleteTickled Pink - that's how the campers came about oddly! My friend desperately wanted a real one, but her husband said no, so she asked me to make her one!
What a gorgeous picture. I love campervans what a good idea to hire one for a wedding. Can have a pre-nerves cuppa in there! I love how you have made the little camper it's very cute and I bet they will be delighted with it.
ReplyDeleteHa, or if you're like me, a pre-nerves slug of something a bit stronger! Simmi x
DeleteThe camper van is amazing! What a great memory for the bride and groom. Your poppy is pretty awesome too!
ReplyDeleteAhhh thank you :-) The wedding is today, hope they have a wonderful day :-)
DeleteWelcome to Handmade Monday! I'm so excited to see your campervan design - my campervan wedding canvases are some of my biggest sellers, especially in the wedding season. I just adore them, although I'll probably never have a real one!
ReplyDeleteThank you Wendy :-) I feel exactly the same - my husband thinks I ought to get one to use as my 'work' vehicle!! I'm just about to start with Swanky Maison - I've seen your wonderful canvases and clocks on there, they're fantastic! Simmi x
DeleteWelcome to HM. The camper van is so sweet and such a good idea, love the poppy something elegant about poppies and very calming
ReplyDeleteThank you Carolee :-) I've really enjoyed making the poppies and it's been lovey to know I'm going to be able to make a large donation to the British Legion at the end of the month!
