Say No To Plastics - Vintage & Craft Fair @ Oran Mor

What fun was had this weekend creating a summer tree centre piece to support the cause of 'Say No To Plastic' at their recent Vintage & Craft fair :) Little Botanica is very much in support of reduce, reuse and recycle and could not miss opportunity to support the cause! 

 Organisers Heather and Lisa are just fabulous and put in such hard work and commitment to make the day run perfectly. Check out www.saynotoplastic.co.uk for details of other events, supported charities and to sign their petition in support of a complete ban on the use of non recyclable plastic bags.

Little Botanica created a Green Summer Tree full of interesting blooms. It was placed at the entrance of the fair to welcome everyone and give the style of the event a natural twist.

 

Creating our tree was a tricky job and our fondly named 'flower kebabs' were quite heavy so had to be positioned in just the right place to balance the whole thing!

 

You can just see the amazing interior of Oran Mor in the background. The restoration to this old church is stunning :)

Our finished Summer Tree.... this picture gives a sense of size, it was a difficult piece to photograph! 

Our flower kebabs :)

We also had a wee stall at the fair where we decided to share some of our old favourites - vintage glassware and crockery. We made up some special little flower creations too... reusing old jars and scraps of material or ribbon. They had little handles made out of string and a very pretty little blooms in each. Easy to carry home and ready to be placed anywhere that needed a little bit of love :)

It was a brilliant day and we met lots of lovely crafty people... we will get some links up soon!

Thanks for visiting us at Oran Mor and thanks for looking!
