Lots of lovely bears

I love bears! And always have. I do have quite a few. There is Golden Bear and Flora Dora for a start..

So I was very happy to see a new seller on etsy ClareBears.

Clare’s bears are lovely. They are soft, warm, and full of character. And come in lots of different colours.

Have a look here and then pop over to her shop for a closer look.

Clare will be adding more pieces to her shop so mark it as a favourite and keep visiting, that is what I intend to do.

A bit of a yellow day..

I made some new button brooches last night and managed to get some good photos today due to the lovely sunshine.

I have listed some in my etsy shop and thought I would put a colour scheme in the featured bit at the top.

My shop is looking nice and colourful. Although I think I might work on my banner some more.

The winner is...

Well, I put each entry on a bit of paper, threw them down and tried to get the cat to pick one. She ignored me. So I then threw them at her and the one that landed on her won!! (No cats were harmed in the drawing of this giveaway!).

So congratulations marieisabella. A pair of blue hair snaps will be on their way to you.

Marie has an etsy shop here. Her blog is here.

I really enjoyed doing this giveaway. Thank you to everyone who entered. It was really fun and interesting reading your comments. I will have to do another giveaway soon.

Giveaway!

I am giving away a pair of Ribbon Wrapped Dorset Button Hair Snaps to one lucky person. To win you have to leave a comment below telling me what is your favourite thing from my etsy shop. Also tell me what colour hair snap you would like if you win.

Closing date is Sunday 8th March 11pm (GMT). After which I will get either my cat or my daughter to pick the name out of the hat.

The competition has now finished. I will announce the winner later today!

Snapdragon Beads

Isn’t it lovely when you receive something through the post? Better still when it is something you won in a blog giveaway, and best of all when it is from the talented Alice of Snapdragon Beads.
I entered her blog giveaway and won a pair of gorgeous earring. They are so lovely and intricate.
Do have a look at her work, she does the most amazing bead woven pieces.
In her etsy shop you will find these simply divine pendants.

And I think my favourite at the moment is theseVery Berry Octahedra Earrings

One of the reasons I love them so much is that they remind me of the blackberries we pick in the Autumn on Portsdown hill. I see these earrings and I am transported back there with berry juice on my clothes and the taste in my mouth.

And the other reason I love them is that they are fantastic! They look good, are wonderfully crafted and will look stunning in your ears.

So have a look at her shops, you will be sure to find beauty there.
