Dancing Folksy Friday

My daughter is away at the moment on a 3 day Dance Workshop with the British Ballet Organisation at the prestigious Elmhust School for Dance in Birmingham. She was really excited as she wants to train professionally as a dancer, so this is a great opportunity for her.  She's 15 at the moment, so she may change her mind, but she's always danced and is really good. I can't wait to go and watch the performance on Saturday.

My folksy friday this week is dancing, hope you like it.....

It's a bit late in the day I know, but it's still Friday, so here goes ....

My theme for this week's Folksy Friday is (drum roll - ta da daaaaaa)

Paper

One of my favourite folksy buys so far is a very sweet and delicate origami crane by 'Little Crane' here

This set of four small handmade pillow boxes would be great for wedding or party favours. They feature an eye catching poppy field design in red design printed on both. By 'gooseberrymoon' here.
This pretty handmade glass pendant is made with Japanese chiyogami paper by 'Silvervescence' here. Home is Where the Heart' is from 'Niche Handmade' here. This is a limited edition run of six, made from repurposed packaging cardboard and paper and is finished with white acrylic paint.

Last but not least this unusual, pretty birthday carousel from "Under the Stairs Studios" here.

Folksy Friday

Well it's Friday and what could be better than jumping on the Folksy Friday bandwagon where Folksy crafters showcase their favourite items from fellow Folksy sellers.

Here are my favourites this week, it's a sweet treat.....

The British Cream Tea here on Folksy makes the most amazing felt sweets, I love these liqourice allsorts (my dad's favourites, we always buy him a box for his birthday) I can't resist a good old fashioned boiled sweet (no wonder my teeth are full of fillings). I love these brightly coloured crocheted sweets from Treaclezoo here

This Chocolate Scented Candle looks good enough to eat, from The Pink Fairy Cake here

The buttons from Lilley here are so life-like - I bought a pack of three and topped a little knitted cake with them. Gorgeous...... These dolly mixtures look scrummy from Woolly Duck here.

Hope that's got your tastebuds going, have a lovely weekend......
