Just some pretty things

I have made a collection of lovely pretty items on Etsy, such a good place to search for handmade goodies.There is always beautiful thing to look at, this is so true for me right now as my house is a mass of building work, at least I can go on Etsy and look at prettiness and get decorating ideas!

If you see something you like just click the photo and it will take you to their shop for a closer look.

Handmade at home - Don't buy me!

I don't really know what to say about these buttons. They are just amazing and I am so happy I found them. They sparkle in the sun light like little jewels.

They all so make me think of elegant boiled sweets if a thing has ever existed. I bought them as they compliment some vintage fabric I have, but now I have them I not sure if I can part with them.

unnecessary photo of buttons

I decided to make lavender pillows and used the button to adorn them. The lavender pillows are only filled with lavender there is no stuffing, to help keep the pillows a little more rigged I have sewn a piece felt inside the pillow, this makes them quite tactile.

I will put a link to my Etsy shop amooma but please do not buy them....... well you can but only if you love them as much as me!

unnecessary photo sorry

Vintage finds- Spring in a cup

I found these tea cup in a little second hand shop in Liskeard in Cornwall about two years ago now. I do not use them to drink out of, but to but things in.

As Spring is here (though still a bit chilly) I have bought myself some lovely miniature daffodils and put them in the tea cups not an original idea but a cute one!

One pot only cost £1.00 and it has filled three tea cup's, bargain. I thought they may look nice in the centre of my dinner table, I am hoping they will last till the weekend as I have some friend over for supper.

My mum always calls daffodils daffs which I love. I have made some bunting, which is inspired by my new daffs. It's in my Etsy shop if you would like a closer look.

Handmade at home - New drawing pins

I have made these really cool bush pins to go with my fabric notice boards, they are as cute as a button don't you think!

The pin part is quite long which is really good for fabric memo boards. I was a bit worried how I was going to package them and send them in the post without hurting the postman/women. Thanks to my husband, as he came up with this idea of using corks(he had been saving them to make a pin board, we now have three boxes of corks in the garage)

I have them in pink too!

Handmade at home - The sun is shining

Cannot stay long the sun is out and I am photographing like mad new items for the shop, but as promised here are other colours of the pin boards, so far!
