I have recently been featured by lovely seller moocow, in her Folksy shop, which I am so chuffed about!

Check out her lovely shop on Folksy, lots of cosy knitted goodness for the fast approaching autumn and winter. My flamenco hairpins have been teamed with her gorgeous knitted green beret and armwarmers, which are the best shade of olive greenCheck out moocows shop here

I've recently added another line in my rose hairpins, a beautiful emerald rose on a silver pin. They look particularly great tucked into a bun or a 'up do.' These are in my Etsy shop right now but I will also be listing them in my Folksy shop.

buttons and bobs

I have two projects at the moment (well two main ones, I normally have about 10 different items I am working on at any time) - buttons and bobby pins.

I have recently acquired a lot of buttons from someone locally, all very old buttons and all so beautiful. I have 3 boxes, so maybe in the region of about 500 buttons? I am planning to start a little button supply shop on Etsy for these, although I am keeping some of them for my own fun and games. I'm quite excited about finding these because most of them are from the 1930s, 40s and 50s, and even a few from the 1890s!

I am sorting through them this week, its quite time consuming as I'm cleaning them up and sorting them into batches, I am hoping to start listing things next week.

The other new project I have is bobby pins, or hair pins. This is something that will also feature some of the vintage buttons I have but I will also be using some lovely flower and rose beads. I have listed one pair so far, a pair of Flamenco red hairpins made with brass pins and a lovely aluminium red rose. I've made a pair for myself and they stand out really well on my black hair, they are perfect for evening wear.
