Daisy Doodles Dotty Seamless Felted Handbag





Hi everyone, I thought today I would show case one of my felted bags, felting is one of my favourite past times and you will see it featured amongst many mediums quite a lot over the coming weeks. This is one of my latest additions to my Folksy store and features my passion for daisies, though daisies are not my only passion when it comes to flowers.

I also wanted to use my blog as a platform for other handmade finds and sellers, so if you have a handmade shop email me details and I may be able to feature your shop along with other finds that month.
Next week I will be featuring soap makers, jewellery makers and much more so stay tuned.

Hitched Handmade Boxed Mixed Media Wedding Card




Today's post is about this boxed wedding card, it was one of my early sales. My boxed card ranges seem to be popular... I think due to the fact that they are not only pretty but practical... for example if you buy a boxed card and put your small gift inside the box you can send as a packet/package rather than a letter and this makes it far more cost effective. So card, message and gift all in one makes for great savings.
The car is also friendly to the environment in that it is made with a majority of recycled products.
There are similar cards in this range for sale in my folksy store.
Thanks you for taking the time to visit.
