If Wendy doesn't mind I'm actually going to use this Handmade Monday post to promote someone else that I feel deserves such a mention!
Today Andy and I went to the Vintage Market in Stockport. We've been meaning to head down there for ages and just never got around to it so today we finally made it. For those who don't know what it is, it's a monthly event held in the covered Market Hall in the centre of Stockport, it's primarily vintage (the clue's in the title!) but there's also a scattering of in-keeping handmade in there too, some really beautiful things actually, I'd bought something before I'd got to the second stall!
Anyways, one of the reasons for going was to see an old friend of mine that I know from my former life which was spent trackside at the British Touring Car Championship. Alistair (now of Come Dine With Me fame, if anyone watches that!) was there working with his partner Stuart who is the proud owner of Stuart Thornley Cake Design - you have got to check this guy out! I had every intention of taking a pic of the beautiful cakes that we bought to show you but they didnt last long enough!
All of the products are baked entirely from scratch and Stuart has designed just the most beautiful product range, from cupcakes to push-up cakes, cake lollipops...you name it, he can do it, even down to the packaging it's all finished in the most professional way you can imagine. Brilliant!
On a side note, may I remind you all that it's Mother's Day one week today! So be sure to get your orders in before Thursday to guarantee delivery for Sunday!! You can find most things from me over at Etsy - http://www.etsy.com/shop/LucysDesigns?ref=si_shop - or message me via the Lucy Liz page on Facebook.

Vintage market? you lucky thing we have one in I think such a long time to wait those edibles sound delicious
ReplyDeleteOh, some of the cakes on Stuart's website are stunning! And of course I don't mind - it's handmade (and who could ever object to cake??)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there was a vintage market in Stockport-I'll be checking that out!
ReplyDeleteI think every craft and vintage market going needs help in the current climate... wish I lived nearer :)
ReplyDeleteThink I'll be checking out the Vintage market at Stockport too, thanks for the heads up.
