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

New Reversible Fabric Box with Heart

I've recently discovered that you can never have too many of these little fabric boxes.

I use them to store make-up, supplies, socks, toys, and just about anything that needs storing really.

This one is reversible -as most of my fabric boxes are.

The heart is one of my lavender lovehearts and it's a detachable brooch that I just couldn't resist attaching to it.

   I like hearts regardless of whether it's Valentine's Day or not, so it's going to be sitting on my desk even after the 14th.
