The Finders Keepers - Our picks for the upcoming markets

With the markets just around the corner (May 7th and 8th!) we at Ginny & Jude are very busy getting everything 'just so' and putting the finishing touches on our bits and pieces.

As I imagine are the other designers participating! There's always new and exciting talent and product to look at, and from what I've seen so far, these will be the designers I'll be having a gander at...

House of Cards 

How utterly AMAZING are these pop-up cards! Sure to encourage a spirited revival of old-fashioned letter sending.

Bonnie Poplar

Providing our shirts, coats and vest with quirky prettiness as always

Dreamers & Believers

Because we're suckers for pom-poms

 The Design Kids

We're not usually that fussed on t-shirts, but we really liked the lovely assymentry of this design. Plus, it would appear they also make / produce *pretty much* everything else you can imagine - zines, posters, cards etc.

The Ever Dazzling

From sweet twine wrapped stationary packs to these delightful little monochrome laser cut rabbits. Delightful!

The Horse

Sweet handmade shoes for men and women? Yes please.

Scratchie Cards by TMOD

What will they think of next? These are just lovely.

Kylie Gartside

Contemporary Jewellery Design which is delicate and beautiful. We hope she brings some of these antique button rings with her!

Secret Squirrel Clothing

They always manage to make me go 'oooh!' and their new collection 'The White Album' appears to be full of gorgeous goodness.

Sisken

Handmade leather bags and wallets in stunning shapes and designs. Yay!

h a r l e q u i n collection photoshoot...and it's LAUNCH at Finders Keepers!

Oooh, we couldn't be more excited - here at Ginny & Jude HQ we can barely contain our bouyant delight at being able to finally share with you the Harlequin Collection!
The thwarted circular romances of Harlequin and Columbine, Pierrot and Pierrette provided us with a frivolous and theatrical backdrop for a stunning new range of knits, jewellery and headwear.
We stuck to a colour palette of stark contrasts and monochrome in hand-knitted mohair, semi-precious stones, pearls, dyed straw and quills together with some lovingly restored vintage pieces.

Shot on location at the Old Rectory in Ashfield, we enlisted the talents of local photographer Lyndal Irons to ensure everything looked amazing.

With her talents behind the lens and the natural beauty of our model, I really struggled with the selection process, but below are what I consider to be the real gems of the shoot.

Everything is now available to order - just send me a email if you see something you like!
And for those who prefer the tactile approach, these pieces will be made available to the public at the Autumn/Winter Finders Keepers markets!

Enjoy!
