Anna And Dustin

Anna was sweet enough to share some pictures of her beautiful June 2013 wedding with me.

I just love the soft pink, blue and yellow accents surrounding them.

This wedding must have been a real pleasure to attend.

Everything looks so pretty and well-planned.

I love that bouquet!

And some Fairytale Flowers on the glowing bride's sash.

What an honour!

Aren't they a wonderful couple?

In case anyone is wondering, yes, I am going through a bridal mania lately.

It's fascinating to see  how many different  hues you can play around with and how many different flowers you can make within the pale confines of the bridal range.

Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Winners

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone for participating -and the Sew Mama Sew blog for organizing Giveaway Week -aka Giveaway Day.

One Perfect Day blog fabric and vintage lace giveaway

Beyond having the opportunity to win any of hundreds of giveaway prizes (there were 515 giveaways this May), Giveaway Day is a wonderful opportunity to interact with those manic -or not- crafters out there and visit lots of wonderful blogs you haven't had the chance to see yet.

OnePerfectDay floral mini clutch and Fairytale Flower flower sash giveaway

It's a blogging event that I've come to look forward to every spring and autumn.

Anyway, without further ado, here are the winners of my two giveaways.

Fairytale Flower sash and One PerfectDay mini clutch giveaway

The winner of the Fabric and Vintage Lace giveaway was comment number 181.

Congratulations, Dawn!

 The winner of the Fairytale Flower organza flower sash and the OnePerfectDay mini floral clutch is comment number 114.

Congratualtions, lil&#39:monkeysmama!

If for any reason I cannot contact either of the two winners, or if I do not hear from them within the next couple of days -you'd be surprised how often this happens- I'll re-draw a name for a new winner.

Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway Day - Mini Clutch and Organza Flower Sash

-----------------------------------------------------

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.

THE WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY.

-----------------------------------------------------

So, it's Giveaway Day at Sew, Mama, Sew and this is my second giveaway linked.

(The first one is an assortment of my favourite spring fabrics in cotton and linen plus various vintage lace trims and daisies, which you can find: HERE.)

This giveaway is for a handmade mini clutch, large coin purse or all-purpose pouch in the sweetest spring floral cotton as well as an organza  fabric flower accessory that can be worn as headband, sash or wrist corsage in coral, red and ochre.

The clutch is extra easy to carry around. By adding a ribbon to the ring on the side you can turn it into a wristlet, or add your keys and never lose them again....

The clutch measures almost 15cm or 6inches across and almost 5 inches or about 12.5cm high.

The flower -plus leaves- measures almost 10cm or 4 inches across and its ribbon is about 1.90 cm or 75 inches.

 To enter, simply leave a comment telling me what your favourite accessory is for spring and/or summer.

Just in case you'd like an extra entry or two, you can like my flower accessories shop Fairytale Flower , my fabric accessories shop One Perfect Day or you can even follow this blog.

Please leave an extra comment saying that you did  one -or all- of these and each comment will be counted as a further entry.

(Please make sure there is a link to your comment where I can reach you if you win.)

International entries are welcome.

Giveaway ends on May 10 and post will be updated with winner by May 12.

Thanks for participating

Blush

These are three champagne organza flowers  made recently for the bridal sash of a blushing June bride.

I can't wait to see what she does with them. With an ivory wedding gown, they are sure to look spectacular!

Favourite Autumn Reds And Browns

This is a headband-sash I made for a friend lately.

I was itching to make something in a riot of fall reds and russets and caramels 

and this was the outcome.

I was pretty happy with it

and it was well received -accompanied by a rusted orange lavender loveheart brooch, in a girly cotton pouch.

New Honeysuckle Pink Sash-Wrist Cuff

I know I've been going overboard with the pinks and reds lately but it seems to be a mania that has taken on a life of its own.....

I can't help it.

The thing is, I just can't get enough of these bright, upbeat colours.

So here's my latest fuschia pink organza flower sash/headband/wrist cuff.

It's actually quite difficult to photograph the organza and capture the hue accurately. The colour is approximate. In real life it's deeper and brighter -and a touch more red.

The ribbon is vintage, natural cotton and baby soft to the touch. In my very favourite hard-to-miss red.

Lilac Headband-Sash-Choker - Take 2

Here's another take on the lilac sash/headband.

It's the same kind of flower as this one but with a different colour ribbon. A sweet mocha brown cotton ribbon that I think complements the lilac very well.

And there's the addition of a couple of my favourite tulle leaves, pristine white stiching on bridal white tulle.

Also listed in the shop.
