Brass Band

Brass Band by Hole in my Pocket

It was a tough call to choose between the different sets of Russian dolls in Allistair's shop. This one just edged it  as I like the banjo playing goat and the rather stuffy looking conductor. I know it's a fair wedge of cash to call these your own but I like them enough to feature them here in hope that some generous soul will see what I see in them, heirlooms.

Crochet Grey Lampshade

Crochet Grey Lampshade by girlybunches

Sticking with the crochet theme, this lampshade really does work for me. I can see it in various different colour ways and patterns. I like the idea of it being updateable when you feel like it, I'm hoping to see more colour choice in the Girlybunches shop, is that a little demanding?

Easter Egg Cosies

Easter Egg Cosies by Little Seed

Speaking of the Easter table, I do love the colours of these very sweet crochet egg cosies. Bring a touch of chic to your table this Easter and treat yourself, they're only £7.50 for six!

Autumn felt acorns decorations

Autumn felt acorns decorations by Zenda Designs

Yeah yeah, I know we're heading into spring and these acorns may be a little off message but I liked them enough to not ignore them. Personally, I think they would make a nice addition to the Easter table.

Kettle On Feet Up - Framed Collage Picture

Kettle On Feet Up - Framed Collage Picture by Made to Make

All that talk of tea earlier has made me a tad thirsty. I love the sentiment of this piece, it reminds me of lazy Sundays and getting in from a hard days graft and requiring a nice cup of tea and a good sit. You can't beat a good sit in my opinion. This original piece comes ready framed so all you have to do is unwrap and hang, delightful!

Straw Summer Hat Accessory

Straw Summer Hat Accessory by JoSara

Looking even further ahead and well into the sultry summer days (forgive me) this little accessory/brooch/wrapping embellishment could have a variety of uses including straw summer hat embellishment! It can also be given to any frugal avid gardener and if they grow tired of looking at it (unlikely I know) they can use the natural twine for holding back the sweet peas (it's made from 3.2m of the stuff).

Christmas reindeer paper ornaments

Christmas reindeer paper ornaments by Happythought Paper Crafts

Just when you thought there was no time or inclination for anymore Christmas treasures I find this. I thought it worthy for a late charge to make a Christmas stocking this year seen as it's a direct download ready for you print off for yourself. This set is part of a range of pdf downloads with varying patterns, all of which are delightful and well within the price range of a stocking filler, take a look at the shop.

Christmas Bird Decorations ... set of 3

Christmas Bird Decorations ... set of 3 by Buttercup Boutique

I would be proud to hang these three little birds from my tree this year or even over my mantle. I like the fact that the colours are non traditional and I'm sure they would become a feature of Christmas futures. A lovely gift or a nice treat for yourself.

Retro Bird

Retro Bird by AudreysCat

I'm not entirely sure if these are for Christmas or not but seen as I'm not one for tradition I would have these hanging from my tree and take great delight in looking at them. I know Mrs Ed would love them too.

Hand Blown Glass Bauble

Hand Blown Glass Bauble by Corrina Field

I wish, I wish I had enough money to be able to start an heirloom set of Christmas decs, these would be in the box for sure. Where can you get colours like this on the high street, nowhere, that's where. There's plenty more colours to choose from too in Corrina's shop.
