Fresh on Folksy: Jewellery

Welcome to my blog

Welcome to Fresh on Folksy, a place for me to shout about all the wonderful and inspirational handmade goods from the creative makers selling on Folksy. There is no favouritism or any kick backs, it's simply things I find on Folksy that I like and would part money with. Some will be new goods and some will be older but all will have some element of creative genius.

Here's to all those makers, to all those who strive to create wondrous things from nothing, here's to all those who bring a little whimsy into our lives, they should be celebrated and commended.

I myself, peddle my wares on Folksy, you can find me lurking over at Ed's Place come over and say hello if you get a moment.

So as not to confuse anyone or mislead I would like to point out that I do not work for Folksy or have any affiliation with Folksy. I do what I do simply to promote the Folksy sellers and by definition Folksy itself. The views expressed on this blog are mine and mine alone.

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).

Small feathery chick brooch

Small feathery chick brooch by Hollowbourne

Now this little fellow looks either confused or slightly miffed, either way he has a nice way about him. I assume it's a him as he looks rather downtrodden and forlorn. I don't do brooches but if I did then he would be sitting proud upon my lapel.

Vintage Tape Measure Flower Brooch 3-4

Vintage Tape Measure Flower Brooch 3-4 by The Grizzly Squirrel

I featured this brooch not because I love the name Grizzly Squirrel and not because this brooch is actually on sale at £4.50(!) I just think this is such a great design. So simple yet so clever, go buy it now! Go on then, what you waiting for? I want to see this bought and in someones stocking for Chrimbo this year.

Retro red radio brooch

Retro red radio brooch by Illydilly Delights

The first thing I thought of when I saw this cool retro brooch was `how do you think they made that`, I'm still not sure. One thing's for sure it looks quite fiddly if it's not from a mould. However it's made, it's a bargain at five of your English pounds!

'Plan B' Recycled Skateboard Dogtags

'Plan B' Recycled Skateboard Dogtags by O'blue Thrashion - www.thrashion.co.uk

These little bits of wood have worked hard for their existence, surely they deserve a good home to retire to. I know teens can be tough to buy for at Christmas but this would light up the eyes of any skate obsessed young whipper snapper. I might even buy them myself, best be quick...

Functional Man Typewriter Key Cufflinks

Functional Man Typewriter Key Cufflinks by The Reworkd Workshop

More cool cufflinks I can't wear (only because I am more of a jeans and sweatshirt kind of guy). There's something double entendre about these little babys, "ooo I could do with a margin release", or "hello darling, had a nice day at work, fancy a back spacer?" Or that could just be me...
