Misi Monday

For this Misi Monday I have picked purple my favourite colour.


We have lavender outside our front door which the bees are loving at the moment, I thought 'Lilly' the bumble bee by the pinkfairycake would be right at home! http://misi.co.uk/gifts/11319/

How about this for an unusual birthday surprise, would be perfect for me! from Haybel19 http://misi.co.uk/gifts/12440/Purple_Exploding_Box.html

This bag is right at home on my blog page! from Minxturess Store http://misi.co.uk/gifts/19135/Purple_Butterfly_tote.html

and this is just what I need for our awful summer, it is raining heavy and feels more like mid-winter! This scarf is from is from Peggy's Knits http://misi.co.uk/gifts/19185/Purple_Textured_Scarf_.html

I didn't realise how many purple items I had in my store, so I have to include one of mine, http://www.misi.co.uk/gifts/18953/Purple_Charming_Bracelet.html

Folksy Friday

We have been so lucky to have a family of bullfinches in our garden for most of the year. However, we haven't seen them for a couple of weeks and thought they had gone. This morning on route to the shower I glanced out the window and there on the feeder were both Mr and Mrs Bullfinch. Here is a photo of Mr Bullfinch stuffing his beak on an earlier visit!

My theme today is therefore going to be birds and the first of my picks is this bird brooch from Kitty eden, I love the flowery design on this one http://www.folksy.com/items/36914

and owls are a favourite of mine, how cute is this lavender bag from The Linen Cat http://www.folksy.com/items/37675

I really love the shades of blue in this cushion by Thirtyfive Flowers http://www.folksy.com/items/44176

and finally to end on another bullfinch, a beautiful felt brooch from Lupin Handmade http://www.folksy.com/items/36770

Trollbead box and Bold Heart Necklace

I am a collector of Trollbeads and over time my collection has grown. I have treated myself to this handmade box made of Maple to keep them in. The first level has rods to keep the beads on, the next two levels have 24 sections each to keep beads and the bottom level has sections to keep completed bracelets and necklaces. I have bought it direct from the man who makes them in America, so now have to wait for it to arrive in the post......I really can't wait to sort out my collection!



This is the Bold Heart necklace that I made yesterday, more chunky than my normal jewellery but I really like the bold design. I have listed it in my shops http://www.folksy.com/items/57420-Bold-Heart?shop=yes







More supplies arrived in the post this morning so hopefully I will get some time to craft later, a big pile of ironing has my name on it first!!

New Charm Bracelets

New Banner

I decided it was about time to have a more professional looking banner at my Misi shop. As I am no computer whiz, I enlisted the help of Misi's Emma. I didn't give her much guidance apart from the colour Purple (my favourite colour), font and name and this is what she has come up with which I think is lovely. So much so I have changed my Blog to it, to promote it!

If you would like to see it on the shop take a peek here
