My First Treasury.....

A lovely little shop...called  My Hobby Shop was kind enough to add my little "Bumble Bee" pillow to their treasury today.... It has given me a little boost. I was starting to think I had become lost in the big Etsy world.... :)

"Bumble Bee.....

I have recently found this beautiful bumble bee fabric on line & decided to make a couple of little things to add to my Etsy shop..
It is so pretty and reminds me so much of spring... with bees...birds...and all things hay fevery (is that a word) flying around in the spring sunshine.






Happy Spring....... :)

Dorothy & Delia......

Hello....

I have just done a little shop update tonight....

"Dorothy" & "Delia" are two little vintage lavender sachets.... They are made from the most gorgeous piece of vintage barkcloth fabric... I found this fabric in a secondhand store & could barely breath when I discovered it... I was so excited !!!  ( vintage fabric does that to me sometimes)  :)





The little vintage pink buttons & piece of lace were purchased from the Camberwell Market  .... The best place for those special vintage bargains... but you have to get there early for the best finds....

Have a lovely weekend......

The Homeless & Lonely....

This picture in The Age dated 20/08/2010 made my heart feel heavy & sad.... Both ends of the social scale....One who has so much & one who has so little !!!!

It reminded me how lucky we all are to have a home....a family.... friends.... & all the things in life that make us comfortable & happy.

This article has inspired me to do more for people. I have decided to give some of my time to help others.




Little Shop Update....

Just thought I would let you know I am doing a little shop update this evening...

Adding a few little lavender squares made from gorgeous vintage barkcloth fabric.... A pretty little cushion made from an old vintage linen table cloth in green & white... I may add a couple of sweet little drawstring laundry bags if i get them finished.... & last but not least a pretty wheat bag made with Japanese floral linen  &  sage green stripe cotton with a touch of lavender added  Mmmmm.........

Hope you have a lovely weekend......
