Witt'y Dawn Creating FABULOUS Lampshades in Vintage Fabric here in the Cotswolds, UK see my blog http://www.wittydawn.blogspot.

EVERYTHING you find on here I make myself, here in the lovely Cotswolds, UK, using the best vintage fabric I can source. I set up my first online company 'AudreysCat' in May 2010 . My current WittyDawn 'persona' / avatar/ logo came about whilst doodling over Christmas holidays in 2013. These days my key products are vintage fabric Lampshades - I have 100s of fabric options. Sorry I don't do upho

lstery, dress making or curtains/blinds. My online shops are generally always open :

Lovely things

A quick board with a musical theme - I just love the collage plate, all the more because it's titled 'Yorkshire is a State of Mind'...
As ever, I'll link the individual items in the comments so please do go and browse these lovely shops on Folksy.com for musical inspiration!
Although sadly nobody there is selling trumpet socks 🤣

Dawn, the creative mind behind Witt'y Dawn, has always been inspired by her love of vintage and retro fabrics. With an eye for vintage pattern, shape, and style, she found lampshades to be the perfect canvas for showcasing her eclectic fabric collection. What began as a passionate hobby has grown into a thriving professional lampshade business, now sold across multiple online platforms.

In this month’s Meet the Maker, we caught up with Dawn to learn more about her journey, the lessons she’s gathered along the way, and her enduring love for all things vintage. Read on for Dawn’s full story.

Too early to post Xmas schedule ? nope !
Dates:
LAST DATE FOR CUSTOM LAMPSHADE ORDERS - Monday 16th Dec
Folksy shop - shut from Mon 16th Dec , reopening Boxing day ( you can still view listings )
Etsy shop - OPEN for in stock items , Custom lampshade options paused from Mon 16th Dec to Boxing day
Ebay - I will probably have a few fabric listings and maybe a few in stock smaller lampshades .
SO IF YOU WANT A CUSTOM LAMPSHADE - especially bigger ones - ORDER NOW 🙂 !
I prefer not to send out lampshades - especially bigger ones - when the postal system is rammed with Christmas gift parcels!

Hi all,
Taking a short break from making custom orders ahead of my busiest time of year ! it's a good time to:
- set up a few ' new to me ' vintage fabric lampshade listings
- take stock and reorder packing materials ( BOOORRRING but vital lol)
- make up and set up listings for a few more retro mice
- tidy studio ( also boorrrriing but VERY necessary lol)
- and get ready in Autumn for more fabric for sale listings - yes I REALLY do have too much
- and some family stuff which will impact message replies and posting .

Folksy shop is closed BUT you can still browse my listings - link in comments
Etsy is open for 'in stock' items like mice, bunting and lampshades but posting will be delayed for a couple of weeks. I will be extending my summer sale into mid Sept. - link in comments
Ebay - there's some fabric and lampshade listings on there and I may get a chance to add a few more. - link in comments
