Folksy Favourites :)

I missed doing Folksy Favourites last week, and since the last one I've found so much gorgeous stuff I just don't know where to start!

I think my first item is going to be one that I only stumbled across yesterday. It comes from a shop called 'Lost at Sea' and is a lovely little brooch. It's such a simple design but so effective, and I love the turquoise colour.Ok, item number two made me smile the first time I saw it, and smile every time I've looked at it since. Absolutely adorable... here is Doris the Duck by Jenbys!Now then, final item for this week, but what to choose?

As someone who is just getting into crochet and so knows the hardship of having balls of wool rolling all over the place (including down the train carriage - apologies to everyone who was on the same train as me the other day!), and who absolutely adores bags, I'm going to plump for this little offering from Nicknots for my final item. A great design for holding your wool while you work, and gorgeous fabric!

I've been off searching Folksy again, not that it takes much searching to find some amazing things!

One shop that I stumbled across this week is OhGosh!, and oh gosh what a gorgeous shop it is (expecially for this self confessed bag addict!). This stunning green leather purse is just one example of one of the many items I love in this shop, but I could go on forever; why buy a mass produced bag or purse when you can get a unique item so stunningly handmade?
Going along a totally different vein now, I spent a lot of time this week browsing noodlebubble. I love the brooches and buttons, and the bright colours always lift my mood. One thing I especially love is these giant buttons; measuring an amazing 50 mm across, I have hundreds of great ideas for them - from scarves to hats to cardigans, oh boy you could have a lot of fun with these!
My final choice this week comes from Cherryloco. I was having a bit of a down day, and browsing online for some retail therapy when I stumbled across these earrings. Who could fail to be cheered up by the happy smile and the thought of blue skies and white fluffy clouds? The workmanship in all the products is amazing, definitely worth taking a look.
I hope you like these picks, I'll be back with more next week!

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.
