New favourite object - Anna Beam

I'm really in love with this make-up bag bought from Anna Beam at some craft fair near Brick Lane at the weekend. It's the perfect combination of colours, shapes and embroidery.

I had a very brief chat to the lady herself at her stall and was even more impressed to learn she makes all of her designs up herself. It really shows as well, all her bags and pouches were incredibly detailed, with embroidery, custom beading and a lot of things you don't get when someone sends their design off to a factory to be made up...

 

You can read more about Anna here and meet and buy from her and other talented crafts-ladies at their shop launch in Hackney on Thursday.
