>> I'm a crazed woman on a mission to do ALL of my Christmas shopping all in one drop this weekend so I'll be flitting in and out of the blog and the mind will be rampant on wrapping, carding and err ribboning. With gifting tidbits in mind, I give you Natalie Marie Willis' new range of hand-printed tights that are odes to the ladies of East London and their style… so it's anchors, hearts, guns, roses and birds creeping up the back of calves (more pics on her blog)
At ¬£12 a pop, it's not breaking the bank and seeing as I'm feeling especially flush today as I just got paid, I'd like to gift two readers a pair if you can drop me an email to twinkle260@hotmail.com with your name, address and the style of tights you want and…. here comes the fun part…
…an encouraging banner message inspired by Miranda July and Harrell Fletcher's Learning to Love you More project. It's assignment no. 63 but all you peeps who are after the tights have to do is send me the text of the encouraging banner (I'm not actually asking you to MAKE the banner!). My favourite two messages will bagsy the tights… and I'll carry your encouraging message with me into 2010 because there's got to be hope before this decade implodes on itself.
N.B. Yes Natalie's tights are also available at the Swanfield pop-up store in Kingly Court and will also be on Etsy too…
**EDIT** I've already chosen the winners (actually I chose THREE instead of TWO) so thank you for the entries and I will be announcing them soonish. Just to say though that I didn't realise Natalie's Etsy shop was already up and running… so here is the link but I think she is in the process of restocking them.
Love the thights! Bit of an inspiration block though, I wonder if I can come up with something…
*tights* – I got spelling block too I see
Awesome tights..love the simplicity. Birds are my best!
Ooh very cute!
Oh I tried to go to this but didn’t make it, will have to try the pop-up shop instead. I did the actual banner-making project – it’s on that link somewhere. So much fun!
Oooh! That was really cute! I like thoes alot!!
Have a great night
Best regards!

The tights are lovely! Not to mention that any designer who thanks her room mates on her blog for helping her with an event is my kinda girl, she seems so sweet!

Love the hearts. Just re-watched The Birds, so I’ll pass on that design! :-O

I am in raptures over these. Especially the bird print ones.
these are all so darling!
I love how the designs are very subtle.. just enough so that when you wear them, people are just like, “oh, white tights, okay”, and then while doing the Charleston you flash them anchors. I see a cheap DIY project!!
Love these! Beautifully done – and quite subtle, nice in between 😉
Those tights are so adorable. Thanks for sharing em.
These are cute! I’m thinking of a DIY that I might be able to pull off.
