EuropeanStreetTeam Challenge:Picnic

The latest challenge of the European Street Team was hosted by Estella of Star Of The East, who also got to choose the theme: picnic. Fun!

 This is my entry for it -in by the skin of my teeth!

It's already in the shop, which is definately a record for me, but that's probably just because it's a pre-requisite that the item is listed before it's entered in the challenge.....

Little Girl Accesssories

Taking Little Girl Accessory photos is something I've wanted to do for a long time.

Most of the accessories in the OnePerfectDay shop on etsy are meant for big and little girls alike, so I love it when a mum buys something for her little girl and herself to wear and share.

But up to now I hadn't found my muse.

At last, here she is.

 The most darling little girl with the disposition of a fairy.

And this is my first Little Girl Sash listed in the shop.

In warm caramel tones.

With a 1.5 metre cotton ribbon to wrap around head, wrist or waist, it's quite the versatile accessory.....

Anya Adores Dazed And Confused

If you don't know Anya Adores yet, you don't know what you're missing out on....

She's what you want to see early in the morning while sipping that cup of coffee.

These are pictures of her latest post featuring an editorial in Dazed and Confused.

I would strongly suggest you get yourself over there and have a peek.

My Creative Space - Baby Pink

One of the things I love about Creative Spaces is that you get to see what people are doing (and when I say people I mean the amazing crafters that make and post the most inspiring  projects)  while they are actualy doing it.

I find that 'behind the scenes' glimpse into a project endlessly fascinating.

But my own photos of a work in progress never satisfy me.

So I'm posting the end product.

With a glimpse of the back.

Handmade Bazaar!

I'm so excited!

There will be 40 shops from the talented EGST team gathered in a cafe called Stavlos- which means Stable and that I understand was once part of the Stables of the King. 

Close to the former Palace and just under the magical Acropolis. In a busy pedestrian street lined with cafes and bars that spill onto the street where people stroll incessantly.

Not only will there be wonderful handmade items on sale, there will also be interesting workshops to attend.

Friday , Saturday and Sunday.

If you need any extra encouragement, click on LaBoom! to see images from the participating shops.
