Folksy Friday: 22nd October Statement pieces

Statement pieces are everywhere

The very best statement pieces are the handmade unique ones.  There is nothing more frustrating than feeling fabulous in your new piece and seeing someone wearing the same thing.  Kinda takes the wind out of your sails wouldn't you agree. 

Statement pieces can be anything with a dash of boldness. 
Go for whatever feels right to you.  I have added a few of my suggestions to start you off!

Have a great weekend, and don't forget only 65 shopping days until Christmas ;)

Just click on pictures to be taken to the sellers shop.

Hows this for inspiration?

Folksy Friday 15th October: My Favourite things

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

This is my pick of items on Folksy that are loosely associated with this song ;)

Two of my items first

One is a Rose as mentioned in the song.  The other is from a movie!  Yep loosely associated is already plucking at straws, lol

On with the show.

Celebrity spotting and Christmas Pressie ideas

Todays topic is celebrity spotting, and Christmas shopping.

The celebrity spotting is regarding Waldo the Worm creator Dave who met Robbie Williams yesterday at his place of work.  The Christmas shopping is my pick of things that I think would suit various giftees.  Or just that I fancy featuring, lol.

Robbie v Waldo

Waldo the Worm lives happily in his magical, colourful world. However, there is just one thing wrong, two jealous snails called Kelly and Shelly who are a little bit mean to poor Waldo come along. But one day when disaster strikes, Waldo becomes a hero and save the day.

Dealing with bullying and friendship, Waldo the Worm is a fun filled adventure for children of all ages, whether it is read to them, or read it on their own or with friends  


Now onto my favourites of the week so far!

Item 1. Leaf keyring by Nofkants Curios: perfect for that hard to buy for Uncle or Aunt

Item 2. A Fabulous Diary by Lilly's Night Garden: perfect for any age female relative.

Item 3. Vintage fabric bag by Audrey's Cat: perfect for those into recycling, saving the planet, or Vintage lovers

Item 5. Rose Quartz Bracelet by Pirate Pixie's Treasure Trove: For your bestest friend
