Folksy Friday

So, I've been thinking that perhaps some of you people who are nice enough to read my wee blog perhaps don't know what Folksy is when I say I have listed an item in my Folksy shop. Basically, it is a very similar site to Etsy but British rather than American. It's fully open to international buyers (although not to international sellers, it's a home grown operation and keen to stay that way I think) but is quite a bit smaller and thus easier not to get completely lost without a trace! It's nonetheless full of wonderful gems and amazing things that people from the British Isles have crafted away at.

Quite a lot of crafters over here participate in Folksy Friday (when they make a list of some of their favourite finds) and I have decided that it would be a nice thing to do here. I don't promise to be able to do it every Friday but I'll give it a go! I've decided to start off with a (Song)Bird theme. Here are some of my favourite birdie finds from Folksy in no particular order....

















Hope you like these lovely birdies as much as I do!

The Postie's Gifts



Just thought I would share with you some lovely things that came in the post this morning. It's always a good day when you get home and there are little brown packages waiting for you!

Firstly, some lovely thick sterling silver chain which I ordered a few days ago to complete a bracelet for my Mum. I am about to go up to the gym so I think I might pack up my beads and go and sit in a cafe afterwards to finish the bracelet off.



Secondly, some absolutely gorgeous beads from Mamacita Beadworks. I bought a Songbird from her a few weeks back and I loved it so much that I just had to order a few more. Mamacita's beads are all hand cast in pewter which is a metal I love - they have a lovely weight to them. Can't wait to create something with them but I do love when new things arrive to just sit and look and hold them! So full of potential.

PS I am now off to post some Bead Soup to Nicki...
