Okay...got your glad rags on? Let's go shopping!
Today's post sees the start of a new, regular feature - Shopping List Saturday. Here, I've given you a pint sized round-up of my selection of coveted products available from various sellers within etsy.
I love natural colours, materials and organic forms, so this List is quite representative of that. Living, as I do, in the heart of the forest I'm very influenced by the changing of the seasons. I'm always keen to grab my girls and go scavenging in the woods - on the lookout for beautiful twigs, seed pods or branches to decorate our home - so to discover so many products that have their roots in the natural world is wonderful.
The twig-like nature of the tatted necklace; the soft tones of the driftwood mirror; the rich red of the berry earrings; the ethereal dewy quality of the landscape with thread; the earthy feel of the fused glass hair stick; the feather-like ring; the organic form of the bracelet; the natural hue of the bag ; the 'unearthed' quality of the cuff; the images of the deer, a bird and an embellished flower...I've got it all, in one easy shopping trip!
And the best bits? I didn't have to leave the comfort of my armchair (frankly, always a bonus...who looks forward to a Saturday afternoon scrum in a department store?), and I know that these gorgeous products are quality, handmade items. Go on...dive in...get shopping!!

Do you fancy playing along? Just contact me, and I'll add you to the list!

By the way, etsy blocked my conversation feature because of spam alert. Yay! so I havent been able to let everbody know. I dont know how long this will take until it is reactivated.
well, kinda blew up in my face, didnt it?
