Pics and Pressies

Me - a long time ago!

Good Morning!
Hope you all enjoyed your Easter weekend!
We have family staying but I managed to do some work.
I'm now on Flickr
I haven't posted a great deal yet, mainly photos of our village, holidays and family, but you can take a peek if you're interested.

I also want to say a huge thank you to Pacha Design for the beautiful leaf lantern they sent me and to Hazel for her quirky handmade quilt, which the kids love! Hurry for giveaways!
MERCI!

Talking of giveways, I'm thrilled to bits that Olivia likes her Polish city and book that she won from Kickcan & Conkers. Thanks for lovely post!

Voilà, a few bits and pieces... I'll be back later with more finds.
I'm determined to finish my shop this week, so bear with me...

Sushipot

Susanna Scott sells some bright, quirky mixed media assemblage and collage work in her fab etsy store Sushipot. You'll find jewelry, ornaments, collages and wooden decorations made from all kinds of ephemera in this little treasure trove of a shop. I love her little wooden plaques made from vintage children's illustrations hand-stitched together. They would make wonderful Christmas decorations, to hang on the tree or display around the house, and would be equally as striking grouped on a nursery wall or in child's bedroom.
