Some lovely things with a Valentines Theme

I thought today I would share with you all some lovely items from my team members from TeamCB on Etsy

#1 are these gorgeous pastel cupcake fridge magnets from Marieanne of DamsonTree Pottery. If I had a fridge that wasn't on the floor and therefor prone to decorations being knocked off I would cover it in these

 

#2 is this fantastic hand decorated trinket box from Fiona at Bellecardsandgifts.

I chose this circus box because of its pretty feminine style and I love Circus themed items as well as anything with stripes

#3 is something that I just adore. This multi layered leather wrap bracelet from JCUDesigns is feminine with a nice edginess with the rustic leather and the soft pink tones

#4 is this gorgeous handmade paper bowl from Sally of OkiFolki. She specialises in paper art and these trinket bowls are one of her newest creations

#5 are these fab hand poured  heart shaped crayons from Danielle of Colour Me Fun who makes these wonderfully funky crayons that are perfect for children and adults

I hope you all enjoyed my Valentines picks. I hope to do a weekly feature of team mates so any suggestion of themes would be lovely

Romantic Roses

Its amazing how some plants and trees have the abilty to keep going in all sorts of conditions. We have a rose tree a few doors down that has been blooming since early spring and is only now on its last fading blossom.
The houses have been abandoned for many years but this beautiful old tea rose is nearly as high as the house and seems to be getting more and more beautiful every season.
Of course roses are the most romantic flower in the whole garden although the colour of the bloom is a very important choice to get across the right message. The roses I see everyday are a beautiful bright pink and to thank them for their graceful beauty all last year and to put my mind in the spirit for valentines day, the next festival of the year I have started work on a selection of rolled rose fascinators and other fabric pieces to brighten up my studio and to remind me that the worst of winter is soon to pass.
