It's Folksy Friday Again....

Well, it's been a scorcher of a week, so I got to thinking about quintessentially English summer time food and beverages.... So I bring you Lucy Lemonade and Lime, and Strawberry and Cream!

Lucy Lemonade and Lime - Dottie Dollie

Lucy Strawberry and Cream - Dottie Dollie

The other Dollies in this week's shop update may be familiar to my hardcore followers, Betty Peekaboo, and Cutie the Kewpie have both been seen before in Paperclay. They have now made the switch over to resin, and to Folksy

Wordless Wednesday



Busy, busy Monday....

I've been a bit poorly over the weekend....we had plans to go to London to catch up with friends, and to my cousin's 30th fancy dress party, but the 'flu kept me confined to base camp, without much energy to do a lot.....

 

Today I'm back painting brooches....

 

 

And organising some other bits and pieces, ready for The Secret Vintage Fair which I'll be trading at this Saturday...

 

 

Available for sale for the first time will be my new cotton tote bags...

Paperclay Pins

I've been away from home helping my Mum move out, and now she's staying with me for a week before she moves in to her new place here in Colchester.

Art & Design Christmas Fair

 

 

 

I've been busy, busy busy today getting ready for the Christmas Art &Design Fair, tomorrow at The Minories in Colchester

 

 

There are 2 exhibitions on in the gallery, Mary Lu's pop up vintage shop, and The Minories own Christmas shop will be open. What's more, it's free to get in!

I think it will be a great day, with lots of unique items, which you can either buy as gifts for your loved ones...or maybe a treat for yourself!

 

 

 

Hope to see you there!
