Tickle Me Tuesdays! - Super Sweet

I'm so excited to be putting together another Tickle Me edition! I've missed a couple and Tuesdays just aren't the same without one!

So here are some of my favourite, girlie etsy items with an extra large dose of candy pink.

1. The millinery section in The Gilded Bee is full of perfect little posies of beautiful flowers like these that make my heart go pitter-patter.

2. The Dragon House Of Yuen has a whole -extended- family of these fetching little bunnies.

3. ScrapunzelPixie has some of my all-time favourite brooches. I love those hearts....and the birds....and the trees.....

4. Abigail Brown makes a whole array of  unbelievable textile art birds. The only appropriate word I can think of is: awesome!

5.I can't resist anything circus, so add vintage and pink on top of that and Altered Artifacts really got me with this one!

At The Circus Bag

Yes, I made it!
My entry for the Circus European Street Team challenge is finished!

I called it the 'At The Circus' Tote Bag  and this is it:

It's actualy one bag, but it is fully reversible, with a big bright, frilly brooch that you attach wherever you wish.

One side is  bold red and white stripes with a generous band of vintage white lace on the top.

The other side is one of my all-time favourite fabrics. A very retro looking cotton print with lots of moody black and white and some surprising bursts of purple and red amid the stripes and flowers.

It reminds me of those Victorian tattoed  ladies of the sideshows.

So, according to your mood, you turn the bag inside out and have two very different bags in one.

As for the brooch you choose if you will attach it or not.

You can wear it as a totaly seperate accessory on your clothing or on another bag -or even a hat.

And if anyone was wondering why there are two bags in the pictures....it's not just to show you the fully reversible nature of the bag....

For the first time ever, I made two identical bags.

Because one bag is meant for you!

Yes, it's give-away time!

The give-away should be up by tomorrow morning so please drop in and comment to win.

I promised myself I wouldn't let this one pass me by.





ThePartyFairy

  

But I was having trouble with my own  entry.




TwoBackFlats

 

So I rounded up lots of lovely circus themed items from etsy for inspiration.




DayDogDesigns

 

That did the trick.
