St Patrick's Day Green Showcase

Realising near the end of our last post that St Patrick's Day is also this weekend meant that the only solution was to have another showcase. This time it's all green and I'm not just talking about recycled, handmade or eco friendly.

A Game of Two Halves on Green by Subtle Clothing

This limited edition T-Shirt is sure to please even the most dedicated of football fans and best of all it's printed on all organic cotton. Get in. 

Eucalyptus & Peppermint bath salts by pHzzz

What can I say? I love bath stuff. Susan's wonderful bath salts are all home made and all kind on the skin. Yay.

Irish Ballads - 12" Vinyl Record Bowl by Serendipity Central

No two record bowls are ever the same at Serendipity Central, so when I saw this “Irish Ballads” record by Connie Foley I knew it had to have a place in our St Patrick's Day showcase. 

Baby Fox Brooch by Lucy Farfort

Incredibly cute! For a more subtle St Patrick's Day celebration this would be an ideal addition to your outfit.

St Patrick's Day Green Wool Earflap Hat by Irish Granny

There's still a touch of cold to the air so while you wait patiently for that summer sun this hat is the perfect way to keep you warm. It's decorated with an alpaca silk crochet shamrock which stands out nicely against the soft yarn of the hat. 

Well that's our showcase, hope you all have a great time on St Patrick's Day. 

I have a little request: let us know what you want to see, we'd like your suggestions for tutorial posts. 

What do you want to make? What are you already making? Maybe you'd like to write a guest post for us? Get in touch. Either leave a comment on the blog or drop us an email at info@madeinnewcastle.org with your ideas. 

See you all next time.

MiN Mother's Day Showcase

Mother's Day is coming up on the 18th over here in the UK and isn't far away in the rest of the world too. So we thought we'd make a few suggestions.

Mama Oak, Mother's Day Card by Lucy Farfort

Lucy's happy illustrations are sure to bring a smile to your mum's face.

Pink Hearts Mother's Day Card by Brittany Coxon

This card can be customised (we don't all call our mothers mummy after all), making it extra special.

Framed 7"x5" photograph 'I Heart Paris' by Charlie's Missus

European love for your jet-setting mum.

1969 Disney Illustration handmade mini notebooks, pack of 4, recycled Disney annual by ReFabricates

If your mum is anything like mine she has a handbag full of notes and can never find a pen, these notebooks are just the right side to fit inside even the most cluttered handbag.

Handrolled Felt Button Brooch by Threadspider

This wonderful, original brooch is so soft. It's perfect for pinning onto any coat, cardigan or bag.

Cherry Bomb Bathbomb by pHzzz

Spoil your mum, these bath bombs make the perfect addition to a relaxing long bath.

Mother's Day In Bloom by Jo's Little Card & Textiles Shop 

Jo's cards are unique and custom made, drop her a line and she'll make one just for you.

Oh my, it's also St Patrick's Day soon (the day before Mother's Day) so keep your eyes open for a very green showcase coming your way soon.
