Introducing Fox and Stitch

What An Evening

Last Saturday saw Bolsover Civic Society take over Old Bolsover Yard for their Summer Soiree. What could be better than an evening of music and chat with friends? From the reports I have heard a fabulous time was had by all. It was really nice to see the courtyard being used for such an entertaining event. A Touch of Class provided the music with a big thank you to Claire for the wonderful buffet.

Old Bolsover Yard goes on tour!

It was all systems go Sunday morning as Old Bolsover Yard Makers set up for the day at Renishaw Hall and Gardens Food and Craft Fair.

We were fortunate that the rain held off for the day but unfortunately our marquee was a little worse for wear after the winds took hold.
Molly Felicity Designs, Ethos Upcycling, Chunky Oak Designs, Harriet and Lola's Candles, and M&E Woodcraft put on a show of the different products available. It was nice to see some familiar faces come to visit us at the event and we all had a super time telling everyone about Old Bolsover Yard and what can be found when you visit our Craft Courtyard. If you weren't able to make it to Renishaw you can see all of the wonderful products in the Gallery at Old Bolsover Yard. We are open Monday - Saturday 10am - 3pm.

Introducing Fox and Stitch

Next week sees our first Pop-up Shop at Old Bolsover Yard and I'm delighted that Vivien from Fox and Stitch will be joining us for the week.

After many years of sewing, knitting, crafting and making there was a 'if not now, when?' moment.

Fox and Stitch Handmade Children's Clothing Boutique was born earlier this year. Clothing designed for children aged 0-5 years are made to be practical, easy to wear and to care for, yet most importantly - FUN - Clothes for Life's Adventures!

Only the best quality fabrics, cotton, cotton jersey and french terry are used, in bold, bright colours to create the Scandinavian inspired designs. The majority of Fox and Stitch's clothing is unisex with limited amounts of each fabric design leading to the lovely boutique style.

Vivien makes everything herself from her home studio but advertises and sells via social media, with a website going live soon. You'll often find Fox and Stitch trading at local markets which enables interaction with customers directly.

"I am excited to be holding my first ever pop up shop in Old Bolsover Yard. Although I will be busy making I am looking forward to meeting lots of lovely people and, of course, my children's clothing range will be available to purchase!" - Vivien, Fox and Stitch

More updates from Old Bolsover Yard next week

Until next time.......
