FocusedBageShowcase  Showcase: Skateboard Bags by Focused Bags

If you are looking for some unusual baggage I can guarantee Focused Bags have exactly what you’re looking for. Sophie Mason, the genius behind Focused uses broken skateboards to make these one of a kind bags, but this is only the beginning of the skateboard based products she designs and makes herself in her back garden workshop. You can also buy keyrings, hand cut letters and most recently Sophie has been making jewellery, a mosaic fold out chair and a fantastic mosaic coffee table. These furniture pieces are a MUST see!

If you want to get yourself some goodies from Focused, Sophie will have a stall at the St Peter’s Street Summer Market on Sunday 26th June.

HouseofIsmayMobyDick1  Showcase: Moby Dick Brooch by House of Ismay

These wonderfully vintage looking Moby Dick brooches are made by Sarah of House of Ismay. Sarah is based in sunny rural Suffolk and makes books, cards, jewellery and homewares using vintage and reclaimed materials. Sarah uses pages from an old copy of Moby Dick for these brooches, which she sticks onto reclaimed wood, cuts out the beautiful Moby Dick shape by hand and varnishes it several times for durability.

You can get your hands on one of these lovely chaps from Sarah’s website , we highly recommend you go for a browse at all her other goodies! House of Ismay is also a regular stallholder at I Make Fun Stuff markets and you can find her at the St Peter’s Street Summer Market on Sunday 26th June too!
