Loving Spoonful will be joining us again this Sunday at FROCK AROUND THE DOCK - A TITANIC VINTAGE AFFAIR! A very popular regular exhibitor of ours, John from Loving Spoonful has a fantastic range of jewellery handcrafted from silver cutlery and we are looking forward to seeing his new 'Angel' designs. These gorgeous bracelets were recycled from silver fish knives and a decorative fork, and the filigree ring matches the Angel fork bracelet.

I love this preview of some of the nautical themed pieces that Susannah from Keepin' It Kitsch has made for this Sunday's FROCK AROUND THE DOCK - A TITANIC VINTAGE AFFAIR! Susannah will be selling a range of handmade jewellery, greetings cards and kitsch vintage button goodies and I always come away from her stall with something to add to my eclectic collection. Come see Susannah and us all on the Belfast Barge this Sunday 1st April for this one-off and very special event!

The fabulous steampunk jewellery I used in the promo shoot for FROCK AROUND THE DOCK - A TITANIC VINTAGE AFFAIR! was made by Jennifer Robinson. Jennifer uses a mix of old watch parts, buttons and charms for this range of rings, necklaces and bracelets which are all each completely unique. A lot of the watch parts that Jenn sources have interesting engravings and inscriptions and one of the pieces used in the shoot had Belfast markings which was particularly apt for this 'Made In Belfast' event!

Unfortunately Jennifer isn't able to take a stall at FROCK AROUND THE DOCK this Sunday 1st April as she will be out of the country on her sister's hen weekend, but I will have a selection of her pieces on my own stall to complement my steampunk-inspired upcycled clothing range.

I adore this necklace from Linzi at Elephant Juice which she made from antique silver spoons and 1930s silver charms for my photoshoot to promote FROCK AROUND THE DOCK - A TITANIC VINTAGE AFFAIR! In fact we all fell in love with it so much that we couldn't bear to part with it and I bought the necklace for our lovely photographer Trazanne and then treated myself to one of Linzi's silver spoon rings!

Linzi will be selling her fabulous jewellery designs at FROCK AROUND THE DOCK this Sunday 1st April on the Belfast Barge from 11am - 4pm. Truly one-off pieces, these are all made by hand from carefully sourced decorative items of antique silver cutlery, and you are guaranteed to find something to fall in love with!

It is now just 12 days to FROCK AROUND THE DOCK on Sunday 1st April and we are getting very excited!

This ‘Made In Belfast’ event will be a one-off for 2012 - our very own unique celebration of the city that built the Titanic - and will feature vintage dealers and creative designers selling handcrafted and upcycled fashion, jewellery, artworks and homewares which predominantly reflect nautical, Belfast, Titanic, and Edwardian themes. Many of the unique goods for sale will have been made specifically for this event and won’t have been available for sale anywhere else!

We have a new exhibitor joining us for the first time - Claire from Rua Rose will be selling handcrafted jewellery with a nautical flavour, and here is just a small preview of some of her lovely pieces.

It's no secret that I love Jennifer Robinson's unique jewellery designs. For my birthday last year my friend Kelly bought me one of her silver sixpence double coin necklaces with matching bracelet, and for Christmas I treated myself to one of her amazing watch part bangles. Next on my wish list is one of these watch face bracelets which will be available at the Frock Around The Clock Valentine's Vintage Fair this Sunday 5th February!

Our latest Frock Around The Clock Vintage Fair took place on Sunday 6th November - the day that the MTV EMAs came to town! I think that we lost a lot of our young vintage fans to celebrity-spotting activities but we did get many new visitors and plenty of 'out-of-towners', some from as far as Amsterdam! We had a fab day and the craic was great as usual. Thank you to all our wonderful exhibitors and all the lovely people who came along and supported us on the day, and big thanks also to Della Storm, Geoff Hatt and Matt McElhinn . Here are a few of my favourite images from the fair.
