Miniature Bag in Red and White

Handmade miniature bag in natural cotton canvas with red flower and pom pom details.

A whimsical little handbag for a doll's outfit or for a little girl to play with.

It measures about 8 cm or 3 inches across - that's counting the floral and ribbon embellishments.

Valentine's Day Best 8

Every Valentine's Day, the egst team on etsy celebrates another birthday. This year it turns eight, so to honour the occassion, here are 8 of my favourite etsy shop related items in one photo: one of my favourite flowers and the items that are needed to make and send it.

So, in the photo you can see:

- my favourite Valentine's Day red flower hair clips

- the red fabric needed to make the flower petals

- pins (to hold together everything that needs holding together)

- a tea-light (which is necessary to singe the fabric)

- matches (to light the tea-light)

- the gold stamen I add to the centre of the flowers

- an array of backings for the flower to choose from (there's a comb, a plain pin or brooch back,a dual pin-and-alligator clip back and an extra large alligator clip)

- a pretty box to pack it in and send it on its way

Overdue Bunnies

This cute handmade bunny wreath was my Secret Bunny surprise this year, from Mary of Make It Pretty.

I just love the bold red, white and blue colour combination but perhaps what I love more is the incredibly pretty floral banner that spans the centre.

Needless to say it put a big smile on the little one's face.

Thank you, Mary!

And thank you, Zina, for tirelessly organizing the 'secret' swaps twice a year!

Etsy Front Page!

One of my absolute favourite flowers made it to the front page of Etsy today, in an amazing treasury curated by the girls behind one of my very favourite etsy shops: Pemberly Pond.

Thank you Lala and Louise!

Flamingo Pink Organza Flower Hair Clip by Fairytale Flower

So here is the flower that made it to the front page.

The bold flamingo pink of this flower is actually produced by a riotous mix of coral, red, tangerine, neon pink and fuchsia petals.

The photo above has very accurately captured the colour.

Mother-Daughter Set of 2 Flamingo Pink Organza Flower Hair Clip - Corsages

While this photo above hasn't captured the colour well at all, it's great for showing the scale. These are pretty big flowers that can be worn as a corsage or a hair clip.

Here it is on the front page of Etsy.

New Fuchsia Pink And Red Organza Flower Rings

Here are my latest organza flower rings in bright and happy combination of fuchsia and red -with a little black thrown in....

They're attached to an adjustable base, so they can be worn pretty much by anybody.

The black centres are natural onyx stones, carefully and patiently sewn onto the flower.

I love the sculptural embellishment they add and the contrast of the shiny black rocks with the delicate, semi-transparent organza.

I made some red ones too. They remind me of poppies.

Hopefully I'll get some modelled shots soon. They look so much better worn.

If you want to see other Fairytale Flower organza rings, click here (for black) and here for blue.

Poor Sweet Dolly

This sweet vintage Dolly is over 30 years old.

Once cherished and prized, the evidence of the ensuing years of neglect can be seen clearly on her precious little body....

and her lack of clothing.....

The hat is the only surviving piece of her original outfit.

You can see the poor state of her hair along with the rest of the damage wrought by time.

Isn't she cute?

And those -grimy- little hands that are so perfect!

For the tender-hearted among you, don't despair!

I'll be back with her comeback and complete makeover.

(See Dolly's renewal here.)
