New Bookmarks

I have to think about getting bits together for my stall in December.  So....an affordable way to buy my artwork is bookmarks!  Signed on the back and ready to go!

Cards, polymer clay xmas decorations, fridge magnets etc are all to come soon.  Trying to find the time is difficult.  But i'm sure i'll get there.  I have oooooodles of jewellery already....might make a few more earrings.  Will just see where it takes me.  Not sure whether i should take original paintings.  Not the kind of thing that would sell on a craft stall???  

So...Sunday is nearly over boo hoo!  back to the grind tomorrow! :(


i've had a nice day though.  Autumn is really growing on me this year and slowly becoming my second fav. season :).  i've been raking leaves...beautifully coloured leaves at that.  


Followed by a lovely brew!  What a lovely day!

Don't forget :)

Caralara: Tuesday Weekly Sponsor Giveaway: "I am really pleased to share with you my very first Weekly Sponsor Giveaway! This gorgeous charm bracelet has been donated by Lisa-Marie Jew..."

Bringing it all together!

I'm slowly managing to create my online presence and gather all of my information into one place.  Slowly, it is looking more uniformed and complete.  Not having a huge amount of knowledge of html and the like, i'm searching the web for help and ideas.  It's getting there.  slowwwwwly.


As for painting this week.....i haven't had that itching urge.  But thats ok! 


This week is all about promotion and my blog. 


Other stuff......Autumn....so gorgeous again this year.  The garden last night was full of beautifully coloured leaves on the trees, this morning however, after a windy night.....those leaves are now laying all forlorn on the grass.


5 weeks 4 days until work finishes for 2 weeks!!!  Xmas here we come.

Tuesday Weekly Sponsor Giveaway

I am really pleased to share with you my very first Weekly Sponsor Giveaway!

This gorgeous charm bracelet has been donated by Lisa-Marie Jewellery.  Lisa-Maries shop is full of affordable accessories.  Colourful, bright and totally one of a kind.  It actually does amaze me how many creatives out there make jewellery, yet i am still to see two items exactly the same.  THAT is what I love about all things handmade.  And i'm sure you will agree, Lisa-Maries charm bracelet is totally OOAK! 


'I handmake a range of unique one off Jewellery and Accessories from my home in Beautiful Cornwall. I never make 2 items the same so you won't see somebody else with the same design! I use a range of different materials and make all of my items affordable'


So, with christmas drawing ever closer, grab yourself a freebie if you dare.
All that is required is a visit to Lisa-Maries shop.....have a browse....get some ideas for xmas....and then come back, leave a comment and i will randomly select a winner next Tuesday.

Lisa-Marie can also be followed here where you can see her beautiful designs unfold. 

Ready.....
Steady.....
GO!
