Butterfly Kisses!

Since my last post, I have given birth to the must beautiful baby girl! We are all so thrilled, especially after having three boys first. She will be spoilt rotten by her three brothers. She is so lovely and fragile, just like a delicate butterfly... My inspiration today is taken from my little one and the stunning butterfly items that I have seen listed on Folksy. My German aunt and I call kisses sent over the phone 'butterflies' These stunning items would certainly pass her very high standards! Please click on these lovely butterfly items to be taken to the item in the Folksy sellers shop. http://folksy.com/shops/sewflair http://folksy.com/shops/Loutul http://folksy.com/shops/NOfkantsCurios http://folksy.com/shops/WhimsyWooDesigns http://folksy.com/shops/paperchainsandbeads http://folksy.com/shops/RedDevilCrafts http://folksy.com/shops/thecardjeanie http://folksy.com/shops/pipdesigns http://folksy.com/shops/HandmadebyEdwina http://folksy.com/shops/STEAMPUNKSTORM http://folksy.com/shops/valerie .........................Thank you so much for stopping by!

Autumn Mists - a celebration of gorgeous greys.

Looking out of the window on this early September morning, I cannot help but notice how the first Autumn mists are swirling round the tree tops. It won't be long and the leaves will be turning from green to gold and there will be a distinct chill in the air. I could not pass up the opportunity to blog about greys, inspired by the swirling wonders of this chilly morning. An under rated colour or shade, but a popular one, as it comes in so many intensities. There is a shade for everyone, so lets have a look and see what is available on Folksy......... http://folksy.com/shops/JAustenJewelleryDesign http://folksy.com/shops/NOfkantsCurios http://folksy.com/shops/HelleBellesCards http://folksy.com/shops/dottiedesigns http://folksy.com/shops/oakapplerose http://folksy.com/shops/RedDevilCrafts http://folksy.com/shops/annchandleroriginals http://folksy.com/shops/valerie http://folksy.com/shops/HandmadebyEdwina http://folksy.com/shops/stephshortstationery http://folksy.com/shops/sewflair http://folksy.com/shops/thecardjeanie http://folksy.com/shops/CarinaBoutique http://folksy.com/shops/VintageVibe http://folksy.com/shops/ilovesparklystuff http://folksy.com/shops/daisycrazy http://folksy.com/shops/DeesDesigns http://folksy.com/shops/bojanglies http://folksy.com/shops/JAustenJewelleryDesign ...........................................................................................................

Creative with Copper

I love the rose hue of copper when highly polished and its green patina on ageing. Always a popular medium for working by metal smiths throughout the ages, with all manner of items being created, including jewellery, weapons, coinage, bowls, cups and even roofing amongst so many other uses. I have decided to have a look on Folksy to see what those talented crafters have made using this gorgeous metal - please click on the pictures to be taken to the items in the artisans shops for more information.......................................... http://folksy.com/shops/JACKIESIMMONDSSTUDIO http://folksy.com/shops/Blackswanglassjewellery http://folksy.com/shops/reclaimedtime http://folksy.com/shops/victorhartley http://folksy.com/shops/TheRetroStation http://folksy.com/shops/AdienCrafts http://folksy.com/shops/oneoffwoodcraft http://folksy.com/shops/abyjem I do hope you will like this little selection and montage of gorgeous copper goodies! Thank you so much for looking. Jacqueline x

British Wild life!

I love the natural world and none more so than the superb wild life we have in these gorgeous islands we all call home. From the tinyest insect to the tallest tree, all are beautiful and inspirational. The wonders of creation never fail to astonish me.
