October Folkfest: Days one to three

Yes, I know this is very late... For about a fortnight I have felt like I was coming down with something and it finally hit on Fri (although I was too busy to let it hit me on Fri so I attempted to ignore it.) I spent the majority of Sat-Mon feeling very sorry for myself and cuddling up on the sofa under a duvet watching lots of Futurama on dvd! I somehow manged to continue listing but still need to catch up on viewing and promoting. Feeling much more with it today- actually feel capable of moving and looking at a computer screen! Yay! I'm even thinking that I should be ok to tutor D tonight (cancelled all of yesterdays and this morning's tutoring). I have to go really or I'll miss my weekly dose of being attacked by his two cute little brothers who always come running to meet me to say hello to my zebra pencil case!

Anyhow.... here's what I listed in days 1-3.



Lots of new 'faces' in the listing club this month as well as some who have been in the monthly listing clubs forever! No particular theme today- just 3 of the many things that caught my eye each day. As ever, click on the pic to find out more.






And the winners are...

I wrote down all you lovely entrants in 3 separate lists and used a random number generator to pick the winners.

Fossil shell necklace- Moody cow designs
Silk scrap earrings- NofkantsCurios
Forget me not earrings- noodleBubble

Congrats Trish, Natalie and Lisa!!


Thank you to everyone who took part and special thanks to everyone who took the time to browse my shop and tell me what your fav things are. I found it very interesting!

Giveaway win two!

A couple or so of posts ago you may remember I mentioned I'd been very lucky and won 2 giveaways. Well on Friday my prize arrived from Jacqueline (of JAusten Jewellery Design). Jacqueline offered the winner a choice of a custom made piece of jewellery; a piece from her folksy shop; or a mystery prize. I chose the mystery prize option! And look at what she sent me!!! Its soooo yummy! I arranged a Christmas swap with Jacqueline a while back (through the folksy forums) for a pair of earrings- I have given the earrings to Phil to give back to me for Christmas. This necklace will match the earrings perfectly.



Jacqueline sells wonderful gemstone and precious metal jewellery from her folksy shop. Here are some of my faves from there- although dont hang about if you see something you like- Jacqueline's stuff sells REALLY quickly as its such high quality and VERY resonable- seriously- Jacqueline is selling thes goodies way too cheaply so grab them quick before she sees sense and puts her prices up to what they are worth!




Now I'm not a big jewellery buyer as I like to make my own, so although I happily admired Jacqueline's jewellery my bank balance was relatively safe...and then she opened a destash shop! Oh dear...my will power is taking some beating. I am still just about managing to be craft neutral (only spending money on crafts if I have sold things) but Jacqueline is really making that difficult. I haven't yet bought from her fab destash shop but have my eye on pretty much everything! Another place where people snap up her goodies the instant they are listed!




Thanks you so much Jacqueline for the wonderful necklace. And for being such a great supporter of us all in the list a day challenges on folksy.
