Spreading the Prettiness!

Wow, it's been a hectic weekend, but more about that later in the week. For now I'm going to focus on calming, pretty things, and revisit something I posted about a few weeks ago...

You may remember me talking about 'Spreading the Prettiness'; the idea being that a bracelet would roam the country on your wrists, spreading a bit of beaded prettiness and reporting back on its progress as it goes.

The bracelet has recently spent a few weeks in Hampshire in the company of Dottie from DottieDesigns. During that time it was worn, sparkled, admired and complemented, it went out and about and it helped with everyday tasks...

... and stolen by a little girl with a love of pretty things! In Dottie's own words

"My daughter took a real shine to it and wore it a bit too, the picture is of the night that she had snuck into my room and nicked it and was trying to wear it to bed. Bit of a worry as she's not yet 3!!"

The bracelet is now in a new home and reports will be coming in soon so watch this space... and let me know if you'd like to take part!

Folksy Favourites!

I haven't posted about my new favourites on Folksy this week, and I feel this needs correcting as I've seen some absolute gems.

The first one is a wedding item from Dottie Designs. I stumbled across a mention of this wedding guest book in the forums and I absolutely love it! I haven't got round to sorting out that sort of detail for my wedding yet but when I do I may well be paying Dottie Designs a call...

My second item is from Buttercup Boutique, a gorgeous little shop selling all cute things fabric. My current favourite item is this adorable brooch, I can see it looking perfect on a jumper or a handbag.
My third and final item for this week is a pair of earrings from Cinnamon Jewellery. This shop is full of gorgeous metal and bead jewellery, and I love the curly shape of these earrings.

So that's this week! I'll be trawling Folksy again next week for some more handmade gorgeousness.
