I’ve been helping to dress the cast members Ginificent Productions co for their annual production of Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol at St George’s Hall in Liverpool the past couple of years. I’ve seen the show twice now, and it’s been an absolute treat to watch 😊.

The attention to detail with costume is fantastic, it really is correct to the time period. That with the whole immersive experience with live music and a great cast, I can’t wait to see it again this year. I can see why people watch it religiously every year as part of the Christmas tradition. And it’s all set in the main hall at St George’s Hall! It’s not the usual tv version of the story, it’s grim, gritty and true to form-as it should be.

A few of the cast members will be joining me this year Southport Heritage Open Days in the Wayfarers Arcade on Saturday 19th September dressed in Victorian attire to promote the show. Ginificent Productions co are a not for profit, Southport based theatre company. I didn’t realise the links Charles Dickens had with Liverpool and how it shaped the whole story. It’s fascinating what happened.

Just to say a huge thank you to everyone who came by our stall Fantasy Forest 😊.

We didn’t take many photos sorry 🙄, mainly because we were gabbing too much! Here we have a selection of our lovely customers in their new purchases-absolutely stunning, thank you ☺️.

If you’re in the pictures, please respond and say hello! , excellent taste as always 👌🏻😊. Thank you.

New followers-thank you. It’s good to know our selection of garments was well received. It makes all the hard work worthwhile. Returning friends-great to catch up again 😊, and we’ve made loads of new friends too!

To sum up, it was fantastic. To pull off such a huge event will always have small hiccups-it’s a new event, it’s inevitable. The love and respect everyone has for Fantasy Forest is plain to see. From the purple shirts giving up their time, the wonderful fellow traders, and most of all the customers. The organisers of these two events are an absolute credit and deserve upmost praise for all the hard work involved. We all need a bit of Fantasy Forest in these current times 💜.

And the second stunner for today, another magnificent Victorian mourning cape 🖤.

All handmade in black silk with heavy glass beading throughout-the front is just as nice as the back ☺️. Silk crepe hemline.

From the 1890’s, the silk again is in amazing condition, a beautiful piece. This will be for sale on my stall at Whitby Goth weekend in October

The first of two immaculate Victorian mourning capes 🖤.

High neck detail which leads to tumbling lace detail to front chest, an absolutely exquisite integrated fretwork shoulder cape with front hanging panels, silk crepe hemline with lace detail.

All the silkwork is pristine with no damage. Considering it was all handmade 135 years ago, an absolute beauty ☺️.

This will be on display at the upcoming Southport Heritage event on Saturday 19th September Southport Heritage Open Days, then for sale on my stall at Whitby Goth weekend

I’ve always collected bits of Southport local history, the more obscure/everyday items the better.

I’ve picked these letterpress printing blocks up at car boots, antique fairs or they’ve been given to me over 30 years. I was over the moon to recently add the individual letters ☺️.

These are all of the old Southport crest, Sefton council, Lancashire Rose, local Masonic lodges, a swimming club and a chemist.

All intricately carved into metal plate and mounted on wood blocks. These would’ve originally been used for invoices, posters or various official documents. Backwards so they print the other way round.

Lovely bits of social history 😊

I spend a lot of time making sure everything I sell is in absolutely first class condition 👌🏻. A good number of the garments I sell go on to museums, preservationists or private collectors. So when they go on to new homes they have to be right.

I’ve been learning and teaching myself how to preserve and restore antique silks the past few years, I’m currently working on this Victorian mourning cape from 1890 to have in ready for display in time for Southport Heritage Open Days on the 19th September Southport Heritage Open Days. It’ll then be for sale on my stall at Whitby Goth weekend in October.

Having the right tools are essential. Surgical grade teeny tiny silk needles from Tulip, black silk thread from Gutterman & glass head pins. If you use standard hand needles, the silk shatters instantly so they have to be razor sharp fine. Lots of work but you’re helping to preserve these handmade beautiful works of art 🖤.
