I’ve been loving the recent(ish) trend for cool and quirky enamel pin badges. I’ve only bought a couple so far, my wishlist is ever growing though – seeing other people’s purchases on Instagram is a pretty wonderful opportunity for virtual window shopping!

Last Sunday at The Handmade Fair I did spot a badge that I couldn’t resist adding to my tiny collection. 

This is made by Hawthorn Handmade, a stall that had me oohing and aahing over their gorgeous modern embroidery kits. I resisted the temptation to buy one on the day as I currently have far too many projects queued up already (I did take a card though and have got the website bookmarked now ready for a future purchase). When I saw this pin though I had to buy one  – it couldn’t be more fitting if it tried!
