Angel Christmas Fair at Candid Arts in Islington





























A fun fair going on for 1 more day till Sunday 12th December at the Candid Arts Galleries behind
Angel tube in London.
2 gorgeous designers jumped out at me from the many showing!

Sagen ( 1st image) is a swedish designer working in Malmo since 2007 she has been collecting old bits of beautiful china from flea markets and shops which she breaks and then incases in silver to create beautiful jewellery. particularly loved her rings which have a clever fastening which allows the wearer
to alternate on fingers! She also does some really beautiful solid cufflinks which at a starting price of £70 good quirky male Xmas present!!

Betty`s Revenge (2nd image) are designed and handmade by Cathy Hoste a surface designer specialising in printed textile using screen, digital and hand painted mediums. Crazy about her mamoth shopping
trolley (tucked in corner) and her cute printed purses with Flamenco and Burlesque themes! She also has designed some great flamenco cards just for Xmas !!

How could I possibly be in the vecinity of Angel and not check one of my fave shops My sugar land... so I did and fell in love with a pair of fantastic GOLD vintage shoes..... there was a magnetic pull and they and me could not be parted!!!  So I will be wearing them with my monkee jeans tomorrow. Gosh I love Xmas!! especially when its early for me!

Christopher St James - causes Xmas havoc at 14 Goodwin Court






































Christopher St James  Xmas windows are up... well almost nearly!!! He has more pieces and loads more lights!! The fantastic masks were designed especially for him by some imminent artisan in Italy.
Christopher says that this year he is going completely out! I await with mouth agog how much more can he sparkle.

With his own studio in Paris which he travels to almost every week on the Eurostar, his shop is a little treasure of delight in London's dark dungeon months!! But not everyone is happy down the back streets of Covent Garden... there is a lot of tut tutting... is it too early? some say! A Xmas window in November?? oh my my ... but Christopher is having none of this and I agree... a little bit of fantasy, glamour and glitz is just what my doctor ordered!  

So go and support! Prices start from £20 and go way up for some of the vintage jewellery.
