Handmade Monday, Lincolnshire Show And My First Treasury On Etsy

Happy Handmade Monday folks. If you don't know what this is please take a look at Handmade Harbour for all you need to know.

I hope everyone has had a lovely weekend. If you are watching the final of the football tonight I also hope your team will win. I'm going with Italy as they beat England I want to show we lost to a decent team!

Anyway, this week I've been busy recovering from The Lincolnshire Show. Where I had a stand. The weather was not kind on the second day and it was quite a traumatic experience! I did actually think the marquee would fly away!!!! I also ruined a fair bit of stock as the ground got VERY muddy :( here's a piccie of my stall on the sunny day!
The shelving which is nicely modelling my bags was made for me by Drew at Handy Woodcrafts and what a talent he has! I'm sure you will agree it has displayed them nicely. I suggest you pop by and find them on facebook as well to see more of their amazing work :)

 

A selection of my clutch bags which can be found on my website

I shared my stall with the lovely Tinx Treats. She has a wonderful selection of handmade products - her Bridal collection is superb!!!! You can find them on facebook

Yes that is a flying dog modelling one of my Union Jack Bandanas! 

Etsy Treasury

This week I have also created my first Etsy treasury. I have been a member of Etsy for years and I decided to feature some of the wonderful talent there is out there.

For this, you have to come up with a theme and then using that theme link back to fellow Etsians and their product you have featured. I decided as it is the British Summertime (although it may not seem it) to go with a 'British Summer Theme' 

I found some stunning work, all handmade of course. A few of my favourites:

              Lampwork glass bead set - Soft Summer Lavender Pink - By VasDea

Textile Canvas 'Where's The Caterpillar?' Summer Home Decor - By  DaisyLionsUK

Cream Tea Scone Earrings Polymer Clay - By GiraffesKiss

These are lovely aren't they? Now for a peek at the Treasury! I hope you like it, if you do please be so kind to add a reply below it or on here to let me know! I hope it gets you in the mood for summer!

One last item to show you, I had a sale through the Craftsforum this week (wonderful selection of people on there!) it was from the lovely Anna at Sweet Fimo Heaven. Her pesky moggy George needed a new collar as he keeps losing his, so he has gone with my Skull And Crossbones Ship Mate Collar

What a pro!

Have a lovely week everybody!

Handmade Monday

Wow I am actually early with my handmade Monday!!! Shocking!

Handmade Monday gives you the chance to have a peaek at what other crafters have been developing over the past week, do pop by and have a look. You can access this week's handmade Monday's through Wendy's blog at 1st Unique Gifts

This week I have started to create some children's hair accessories, All new to me, but I thought I'd have a go as I have a fair Easter weekend so would like some smaller items to have on my stall.

These were made with various ribbon and a stretchy elastic which girls normally use to tie their hair. I have called these the genius title ahem.... 'Ribbon Hair Ties'

I will also be creating bows on clips, and other various small lovelies.

These new hair ties can be made to order in a variety of colours, in particular for themes if you or your little one are part of a team i.e Cheerleading/Dance related sports then these would go down a treat.

And.....They are only £5!!!!!! This includes postage and packing too - wow!!!!

I hope you like them :)

These ribbon hair ties are all unique and there is only one of each available due to the different types of ribbons attached, if you would like to purchase one please visit the children's hair accessory page on ZukieStyle

They are also suitable for grown ups! Go on, treat yourself for the summer ;0)
