Christmas Market: my favorites

Hello! I just wanted to do a quick post to show you all the cute things I saw at last weekend's outing to the annual Designer's Christmas Market at DogA.

These sweater dresses and skirt are from Nina Schjeide Design.
 

The gorgeous green coat with flowers is by Trine Mette Swenson. Sorry, neither of these talented designers had a web page.

These bright red dresses, as well as the pink one, are by tulip & tatamo.


I really love the trim and small details. The fabric is soft and warm wool, very Norwegian.

I don't know what others will think of these, but I love the colors and patterns of the fabric and was quite enchanted by the novelty of these fabric jewelry.

She makes both broches and necklaces.

Here is the designer herself, Mona Bjørnsen!

I love having these pictures and I never would have taken them had I not had a blog. I happen to have a terrible memory and although each time I spot a wonderful design or designer I am SURE I will remember what or who it was. Then you could ask me an hour later and I have forgotten! So now I can always refresh my memory on my blog!

i really like the flower jewelry. you're right, the fabric is just beautiful. lucky girl, there aren't too many craft fairs here and the ones that i see are filled with tacky stuff i'd never have in my house. but all those dresses and flowers are fantastic!

At the first sight the flowers reminded me of pin cushions, but with a closer look, they are more cunning. That sure is one fresh idea and the fabric combinations are lovely!

I thought you might love to visit the TinyHappy blog in http://tinyhappy.typepad.com/tiny_happy/ because that's a crafts blog and that family is moving to Norway in January.Or have you already found your way in that blog?

Yes, I am fortunate to have some really talented designers who show their work in the area! Sorry to hear about all the tacky stuff you are subjected to Joanna. You will simply have to sell your things at the markets... as they are adorable!

Thanks Merulli for the tip about Tinyhappy! I had seen her blog but hadn't seen the posts about moving (I am terrible about reading blogs, often have only time to see the pretty pictures...) I love this blogging, crafting community! I really appreciate you letting me know about her move. If she moves into the area it would be so fun to get together and show her around! I simply love the things she makes on her blog too. Like you, we have a lot in common: crafting, kids, thrifting, etc.

Glad you liked the show Laney! It makes it more special to share it with others who enjoy the sites!
