Fresh on Folksy: Vintage

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.

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!

'Barbara' Apron

'Barbara' Apron by Audrey's Cat

OK, so I'm a fella but there's nothing wrong with erring on the side of femininity once in a while...
This isn't just an apron, this is a statement apron :p I love the vintage fabric choice (William Morris) and I do believe you (not me) could wear this out on certain occasions and be complimented on your style choice. If Carlsberg did aprons......

The Rabbit Child

The Rabbit Child by Northfield Primitives

She can't find the Easter Bunny anywhere, she has come (a little early I might add) to help him deliver his chocolate bundle but he's nowhere to be seen. She needs someone to take care of her in the absence of the elusive floppy eared fellow. Any takers?

Edward - Mohair Artist/Heirloom Bear/Elephant

Edward - Mohair Artist/Heirloom Bear/Elephant by Beary Tales

More baby bits. I was looking for an instant bedtime favourite and I happened upon Edward. Edward is a handsome chap and his trunk is perfect for cuddling or holding onto whilst you drag his favourite bear bottom through puddles and such like.

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.
