Folksy Friday - Green & Blacks!

Hi all and welcome to Folksy Friday. A day when Folksy Folk take the opportunity to showcase some of the great work available on Folksy. 

My theme this week is Green and Blacks...no, not the chocolate although I could do pages on my favourite chocolates! No, I've decided to have a colour theme this week and chosen some favourites to fit in with this. Here they are:

 
Amanda at Once Designer Jewellery has this lovely green and black bracelet for sale, next to it is Moody Cow Designs (don't you just love the name!) beaded black bag, very stylish. One Stop Pamper shop has these sweet votive candles in lots of different fragrances, and the Dottery Pottery (another great name!) has this stunning black pendant in her shop. Bonbi Forest's Owl Scarf took my eye ages ago, and finally Sweet Talk Cosmetics offers Lip Balms in different flavours, with all natural ingredients. A click on the photo will take you to the Crafters Shop, enjoy looking!

Folksy Friday - Celtic Inspired...

Having spent a week reading all about traditional crafts, I wanted to continue the theme into Folksy Friday. For anyone not familiar this is a chance for members of Folksy to showcase some of their fellow Crafter's work on their blog. I thought 'Celtic' fitted in nicely with the traditional theme and have found the following gorgeous items amongst the shops on Folksy, these items all take real skill and craftmanship to produce, I'm sure you'll agree they are stunning :

First is a lovely Celtic Knot pendant by Welshy's Pyrography, next the Celtic Wall Clock by Gelert designs, such a lovely colour and design. Hamespun's Celtic inspired bracelet is one of my favourites, the wedding Goblets by Bodrighy Woods would be a real gift to treasure and Crafty Folks Leather Bottle shows real Craftsmanship. Finally Thornless Rose's Celtic Stars Earrings were far too pretty to be left off the list. I would be thrilled to receive any of the above, thank you for looking, click on any of the photo's to visit the Crafters shop on Folksy.

Folksy Friday - Holiday Items!

Wow, I can't believe it's Folksy Friday again, where I get to browse through some of the so talented Folksters shop and select some items to show you. This week I've chosen items with Holidays in mind, as it's that time of year. Just looking through these items made me forget it is actually raining outside at the moment! Anyway these are my choices for this week:

First I chose 'Bodkin & Bead's' pretty travel wallet, perfect to keep all your important pieces of paper together. Next this summery bag from 'Penny Fancy Bags', followed by this clever perfume stick by 'Artisan Curiosities', what a clever idea! I love this passport holder by 'Beautiful Things', and the Foot Thong by 'Gimme That Thing' screams summer holidays to me. Finally I thought this lovely shrug by 'Pigeon Stitch' is the perfect item to wear on a hot summer evening somewhere exotic. I hope you enjoy looking, click on any of the photo's to visit the Crafter's shop. Have a lovely Friday!

It's Folksy Friday!

This week I've chosen the garden as my inspiration for Folksy Friday. A click on the photo will take you to the particular Crafter's shop on Folksy. There are some great ideas for gifts here:

Featured today are 'Gimme That Thing's' plant labels, Insect House by 'The Birds and the Bees', 'Diggi's' hand turned Garden Dibber, 'Firwel Craft's' wonderful Hare, JML Pottery's Bird Feeder and finally Kate Broughton's fun Seed Card. Enjoy rummaging around their shops!

Folksy Friday!

Hooray - it's Folksy Friday!! This is my chance to have a good old rummage around the fantastic range of Folksy shops for my picks of the week. As I've spent most evenings this week sewing and patchworking I decided to use this theme. I was amazed at the range of patchwork items for sale on Folksy. I chose Quliting Demon's patchwork purse set as I thought what a brilliant idea as a gift for a crafty person! Lynwood Crafts brooch was just so pretty and very current, Bubs Bear's patchwork teddy is just adorable and Love from Debs cushion covers are so delicate and took a lot of work. Handmade from the Heart's pretty box is another superb present idea and finally Diomo Glass's patchwork lightshade, just so funky and great colours to match any room.
