Snowbound but struggling on!

We December Elves like the snow and we Folkster’s have struggled through blizzards and snow drifts to bring you some amazing items today, so I have decided to show you an eclectic feature gallery.

There was an abundance of stunning Labradorite today!

Folksy Friday! It's CHRISTMAS!!!!

Unashamedly Christmassy!

It’s getting closer and closer by the second! Do you have a set of over exited children in your house? I do, not to mention the adults!

Decorations will be going up on Monday and the house will officially decked out for the festive season. When my children were smaller, we used to put the decorations up when they were in bed, and act just as surprised in the morning, say that the elves must have been and decorated the house, but as they have become older, one by one they became honorary elves and we put them up together.

So as the excitement builds, I thought it would be super fantastic to feature unashamedly Christmassy items found in our folksy shops.

Festive Folksy Features!

Just pinpoint your curser on the pictures and click to dance and prance over to the shops and peruse the item at your leisure, with a mince pie and spot of your favourite Christmas tipple.

These first few are my own Christmassy creations.

And then items from Fellow Festive Folksers!



I hope you have enjoyed my unashamedly Christmassy Folksy Friday.
