EXCITING new things going on in my shop!

Pom pom trims......aren't they  AWESOME!!?? NOM NOM! I've called them Indian Summer Bright Pom poms. Yep I'm afraid I'm still after another holiday. I've listed these over @ ONCE and so far I've added this bright bundle in one listing- 2mtrs each X £6.00 (£2.00 per mtr). But you can always have more, I will be listing them by the metre also.

To me these beautiful ribbons are the most perfect ribbons in the world. These are listed at £1.50 per metre. I have so far listed these crafty ribbons in 2 and 3 metre listings, I think they are the sort of thing that you will require more than metre of? I've started using them already and they are so lovely to sew with!

Of course this is much needed retail therapy on my part. My holiday emptiness made me head straight to wholesaler!

I now have a bad back from sitting far too long at my computer and trying to take a decent product pic!

More new things....

Excuse my pictures they're a little crude, but I was so excited to receive this parcel of amazing things I couldn't help grabbing my camera. I've taken a few snaps to show you this happy box of delights.

I couldn't help myself, I took one look at these beautiful ribbons and I've used them already. TEE! HEE!

I'm thinking that I might make up some beautiful colour schemes with bags of various buttons and trims in  colours of soft blues, pinks and creams and maybe another bag of tonal trims and buttons in bright fiesta colours. I'm so very excited!

Summertime Supplies Party Bag- Buttons X Ribbons X Bows.

As if I haven't enough to do with my life- today I've been putting together a collection of party bags. I'm calling them party bags but really they're a yummy colletion of buttons and ribbons.

I'm starting to get in the Summertime party mood- you know long and lazy, hopefully, warm summer evenings (fingers crossed). Which got me thinking about things that make me happy. We always have big family gatherings in the summer and there are always treats for the children and then I thought....party bags! Hooray! I love a good party bag. So I have put together my style of party bag wish list containing buttons and bows and ribbons and pom-poms. Nom! Nom!

 I have sorted through many, many buttons and put together a very good multi-coloured mix of approximately 30 buttons ranging from teeny buttons to big buttons. There are some with spots and some with stripes, buttons with two holes, four holes, some with a shank, solid, transparent, pink, purple, green, orange, yellow...... But stop! This supplies party bag also contains bows, pom-poms and best of all 1mtr each of two double delicious ribbons- so basically 2mtrs of ribbon!!!!!

This assortment of supplies is a treat and perfect for starting your own button collection or for doing some wonderful craft projects.
