Friday faves

I love digging through my faves on Fridays.
Revisiting some old faves, making friends with some new ones, getting lost in shops...

Here is a new one that I found this morning.
This shop has a lot of bike decorated glasses and tshirts, but I just love this crafty one -

This bag may be newly noticed by me but the shop and maker are not!
OK this is made by my friend K, but she seriously makes the best messenger bags around.
I usually go for the bright fabrics but I love the 50's feel of this fabric - reminds me of some curtains from my childhood I think.

I love pottery! Did you know that I was a potter before I was a jewellery designer?
And I guess it's still in my blood but these days I leave it the expert practitioners.
This ticks a couple of boxes - it's a jewellery display pot - how useful is that?

And here's another piece that ticks a couple of boxes.
I have a soft spot for waterecolours (I also tried that!) and of course I'm a cat person.
Plus this is a french, revolutionary puss - aw!

It's sort-of-summer, time to reassess ones wardrobe - maybe I'm in the market for a new skirt, but it's so hard to decide which one!
What do you think of this one - it's denim (love), got some brightness (love) and it's wrap around (too comfy) - yep, that ticks a few boxes too!

Phew! All that ticking boxes has me worn out!

Have a great weekend everyone.

My creative space

In my creative space this week -



glass cabouchons made by Deb of studioglassclearance and uniquedichroic.


They will become necklaces, pendants or brooches, but there is a lot of work to be done first.


A few stones snuck in as well!

If you would like to join in with my creative space or see what others have been up to, pop along to kootoyoo's blog.

Remember to leave a comment to go in this week's giveaway, but you must mention the "item" that is up for grabs ; )

Monday treasury.

One rather lovely treasury for me last week.
A fruity little number from radicalglass -



Mandy was kind enough to include my strawberry cocktail fingerless mitts from BoosTees.

Radicalglass is Mandy's shop for her fused glass work.
She has some amazing pendants but I just love these bright and happy earrings -

Thanks Mandy!
