Folksy Valentinos! Week One

I know, I know...no blog posts for ages then three in as many days. There's more on the way too in my head at least. I'm so behind, sorry!

We are now one week into the February daily listing club over on Folksy. This month called 'The Valentinos'. I have been part of the daily listing club since June last year (although I did step back from it in Jan). As such I have quite a few items delisting so with the exeption of today, all my listings have been relists. Here's a couple of my favourites plus today's brand new resin heart pendant.



And three favourites each day from other Valentinos. As usual, click on the pics to be taken to the sellers' shops to find out more.

Ummm....Happy New Year! Plus Secret Santa goodies

Hello lovely blog readers. I have been a very bad blogger and missed January entirely. Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year and January.  I accidentally started 2011 by deleting my last post of 2010. Whoops! Blame it on the seasonal lurgy.

Due to the affore mentioned lurgy and bit of mojo loss and internet loss due to broken router, I took a little break from listing daily on Folksy and hid under a rock for a bit. Feeling much better now though and have rejoined the madness of the Valentinos!

Also, back in Decemeber, I joined in with Secret Santa over on Crafteroo. I was a bit rushed mid December so forgot to photograph what I sent to Claire but she blogged here if you'd like to see.

I was very lucky to have Jane of Hooked Yarn as my Secret Santa. Look at all the wonderful goodies she sent me!



The scarflet and mitts are very warm and cosy, plus the flower is detachable so I can wear it in the summer too. Jane also sent me some cute little hands, feet and face in an old tin along with some old sewing snaps. She also sent me some tumbled gemstones and some chocolate. And look at the cute card. Its based on a drawing her son did a few years ago. So cute!! Thank you so much Jane. Love all the bits and pieces and the supplies will be put to good use. The chocolate already has been ;op

December Elves: Days 17 to 19

Well, regular readers of my blog will know, the craft fair that got snowed off in the last batch of snow was on last weekend. It was a disaster and in hindsight I shouldn't have gone. On Friday I looked at the weather report and thought it might be iffy but the organiser said it was still on so I assumed she had better local weather knowledge than me. Hmph. I got stuck on the motorway on the way up due to an accident. Sold nothing- there were very few people through the door as it was very snowy. Left early, had to dig my car out of the road as it was just wheel spinning and to top it all off I slid into a bollard on the drive back to my friend's house. Oh well, never mind. Could have been a lot worse and at least the car still works so I could get back home to Southampton on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Elves are still going although in smaller numbers. I relisted a few items in advance to keep up. (I am technically one listing ahead but I wont be listing between Christmas and New Year.) Here are 3 of them.



And three favourites each day from other hardworking Elves. As ever, click on the pics to be taken to the sellers' shops to find out more.

I shall possibly get round to another Elves post before Christmas but if not have a fab Christmas and New Year all whatever you are all up to.
