Folksy Friday - My Handmade Christmas...

With only 5 weeks left to go, those of us who are not ultra organised will be turning our thoughts to Christmas.  This year I have gotten ever more involved with the Handmade scene, and I am wanting to make it as much of a Handmade Christmas as I possibly can... I have been scouring craft sites and magazines for ideas, and already have a couple of projects on the go.  But, as ever, time is short and I know I just cannot do everything.  So what do we do in a situation like this? We cheat!
If you too would like a Handmade Christmas, but have either run out of time, or have two left thumbs, then there are dozens of wonderful people on Folksy who will do all the hardwork for you...
Here is my selection of Fifteen Fabulous Folksy Friday Finds for kick-starting your Handmade Christmas....

Folksy Friday : Rule Britannia and get yourself some Brit Chic...

Last week I featured "shabby chic" items in my Folksy Friday - well, this week I have gone for "Brit Chic".  What is this?  It is the trend for all things that are unashamedly British and "Union-Jack-ified".

Once again, I was astounded by the sheer number of items I could find on Folksy to fit my theme - and I think you will agree that this is a very diverse, and beautiful, range.

Just click on the item name under each picture to find out more details and learn about the seller on Folksy, and see all their other gorgeous items...

































So, that is this week's selection - and I have another great "chic" lined up for next week... so please don't forget to stop on by...

Folksy Friday : Add That Shabby Chic Touch...

This week for my Folksy Friday I decided to go with a "shabby chic" theme.  I looked specifically for items that your could buy to inject just that little touch of the shabby-chic vibe into your home, without totally alienating any possible male inhabitants! (Personally I would buy them all and blow the consequences, but then I do have a very understanding hubby!!)

As always, click on the item name below the picture to be whizzed over to Folksy for more details and prices for each beautiful piece...



























































How many have YOU put on your wish list ??!

Any One For Tea...??

My dining room is beginning to resemble a tea shop!



A few weeks ago I got a commission to supply 60 tea cup candles as table decorations for a wedding, and I have been buying new stock ever since. Now, with just 6 weeks to go until delivery, the china is stacking up – and I have run out of storage space!

This has been a wonderful opportunity for me – I have totally indulged my passion for shopping for vintage crockery, and I have built up a stock of beautiful, gorgeous and stunning cups and saucers, which I can offer for hire again and again... if I don’t decide to keep a few pieces for myself...

My budget has allowed me to step up a gear and source more desirable items, and focus my interest on the types and styles of crockery that I would like to specialise in. My area of particular interest is in the supply of ENGLISH fine bone china – true vintage pieces, delicate, high quality, dainty, pretty and very lovely – because, sorry if I am going to offend anyone, but historically us Brits do make the best bone china!

My next venture, once the wedding is over, is to assemble a couple of Shabby Chic Vintage Tea Sets – two sets of 4 or 6 cups, saucers and plates, a milk jug, sugar bowl and – of course – a tea pot. They will be totally unique sets; 15 or 21 individual pieces of best quality, gorgeous crockery, every piece different, no two items the same – but toning and matching simply because of their chic-ness and beauty. I just know that they will be highly desirable – and I hope they will fly off the shelves like hot cakes...
Be here to be among the first to know when these are assemble and ready to sell.
(here's a taster...)
