Folksy Friday - Flutterby Butterfly

Back from my sojourn in Barcelona, I am suitably refreshed and inspired!  Barcelona is a wonderful, beautiful and vibrant city (more of that another day) and has plenty of attractions to suit every taste: culture, art, history, scenery, parks, museums, beaches - and every girl's favourite - shopping!  The shops are truly fabulous, and I enjoyed one great day soaking up the continental style that abounds.

One major trend that I kept seeing was... Butterflies!  They are everywhere!  You may think that our British fashions have adopted the butterfly motif pretty well - but it's nothing compared to what I saw last week.  So, butterflies are big, big, big news - as well as being beautiful, feminine and really rather boho...

Here is my Folksy Friday Flutterby Butterfly collection:

These are all such gorgeous items - you better catch them now before they all fly away!!

Folksy Friday - Turquoise-tastic Bumper Edition...

I have been feeling very summery this week, and nothing shouts summer to me more than than the colour turquoise. It is bright and yet cool, vivid and yet fresh; it says clear blue skies and inviting aqua seas. So I couldn't resist finding out what gorgeous items were for sale in the Folksy shops in this beautiful colour.

I was totally bowled over by the sheer number of items and the diverse range of things available, so I have put together this marvellous super-selcetion; which I hope you will like too...

(As usual, click on the item name below the picture for more details and to be taken to the seller's shop on Folksy.)























































And finally, after that exhausting but thoroughly wonderful tour of Folksy - a big thank you to all who agreed to participate in my Folksy Friday this week!
