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 :)

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 |
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!

The stall looks lovely - wind is a nightmare, isn't it? A flying gazebo is not much fun.
I love those earrings - good enough to eat. Such a shame that the weather spoilt some of your stock - I wonder whether we are actually going to have a summer or not.
I love your flying dog supermodel! And George's collar is great.
Love the look of your stall,shame about the weather though.Those scone ear rings are fab!
Looks amazing - the clutches are great!
Your stall looks good and am so sorry you lost some stock due to the weather, a crafters nightmare.
Your stall looks great - such a shame about the weather. Love the earrings - good enough to eat. Hope you have a good week.

I love your clutch bags and those earings are far to good to be earings! Well done on your sale too. Have a good week :)
I can sympathize with you I had a tent blow away once, wasnt nice
You are really brave to survive the weather !
Those ear rings look good enough to eat!! How awful your stock was damaged by weather. Your stall looks fab tho ad Drew's shelving works well for display.
Your stall looks lovely despite the wind. Popped over to your website, it's great. I had a chuckle at the liquorice allsort bag. I love the bag but I can't stand liquorice. Have a crafty week. Ali x
Thank you all for the wonderful comments :)
Free Spirit - thanks for the links I'd already used this site for my shop link on Etsy but wan't aware of the Treasury one, so it is now added :)
I've got used to the outdoor life now and braving the elements! That's the problem with selling pet products!
Gosh the weather has a lot to answer for this 'summer'. Love your 'flying dog' :o)

Hope you made lots of sales on your lovely stall before the rain came :0(
I think the cat is modeling the collar very well I'm sure he'd like a bandana as well!
