Buzzing Folksy Friday!


Buzz!

It's Folksy Friday time again and for once we actually have some sunshine here in Berkshire, but I'm sure the rain will arrive shortly, just to make us feel at home!  However the bee's are out in my garden making the most of the little bit of dry weather whilst they can.

In fact the clouds are gathering whilst I type, so hopefully the buzzing bees can get back to safety before it pelts down again!

So to celebrate these industrious little creatures I have a bee inspired Folksy Friday for us to enjoy today, with both the cute and the realistic bees in all their glory.

Please just hover over and land on the picture of your choice, to buzz across to the hive in question where the bee resides and see all the sweet goodness that the industrious and hard working hive manager has created.








I hope the pollination was good for you and you feel full of buzz for the day ahead!

July Daily Listing Challenge!


Hello to July Jugglers and Farewell to June Jollies!

Hello to 'Daily Listers' new and old hands to the Daily Listing Challenge club and a great big thank you to the June Jollies, who challenged themselves to list daily throughout the month of June and were rewarded with a collective sales total of 351 sales!  

A valiant effort and a special award, if there were such a thing, should be given to Dave from GelertDesign who alone managed 120 sales, what a magnificent achievement! 

July Jugglers have set off at a steady pace!

The name chosen for July was a close run thing, we were very nearly the July Javelins, but Jugglers won out at the last minute, just a good thing we did not get them mixed up, it could have been very dangerous!

The Jugglers have already had a very impressive 20 sales, which is wonderful, I don't know about other sellers, but I often find that the summer months are quieter for me personally!

Jugglers Gallery!

I thought I would share with you some of the wonderful items already listed by the Juggler's to showcase some of the wonderful talent on offer in the daily listing club.

There is no particular theme, just items I liked and thought looked great together, a little something for everyone, so please click on the pictures for a closer view and more detailed information.








I hope the Jugglers have fun balancing their time, crafts and home life and that it is a rewarding month for all involved.

Somewhere over the ...


Rainbows!

With all the rain we've been having, I felt we need the sun to come out, and what do you get with rain and sunshine, rainbows, a promise of good weather and a little gift from the almighty to give us a lift.

So I have put together a rainbow gallery to prompt the sunshine to return, and if you follow these rainbows, they will lead to a treasure of their own!

  
  
  
  


When we follow the rainbow to its end, we hope to find a pot of gold, I'd settle for some golden sunshine and a little hint of summer before Autumn kicks in.  LOL!

I hope you have enjoyed my rainbow gallery and will visit each shop, I know that the leprechauns that own these rainbow creations will be pleased to have a visit.

Folksy Friday! Lucky Horseshoe!


Lucky Horseshoe!

I'm in need of a little luck, could really do with winning the lottery, (couldn't we all!) or someone bequeathing me a large sum of money, no strings attached!

Bills seem never ending, children seem to eat us out of house and home and they always seem to need new clothes, shoes, school trip payments and such like!

I love them, don't get me wrong, but I am sure they do not realise that the bank of Mum and Dad has a ceiling point beyond which it cannot reach and that the cash point is not a magic hole in the wall, that delivers cash whenever you want it!  LOL!

So hoping to reap some luck, I have put together some lucky horseshoe items!  

Could you do with some luck too?
Please come and check out these gorgeous items and see if the luck rubs off on you, just clip clop, sorry, click on the pictures to gallop to shop in question.







Hope you have enjoyed my lucky find this Friday and that they bring you good fortune!

Folksy Flotilla!

With the historic floating parade of boats on the Thames today for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Pageant, I thought it might be nice to have my very own Folksy Flotilla, with some wonderful boats and ships found within the Folksy Harbour!

So we have yachts, rowing boats, fishing boats, pirate ships and barges for your delight, so splice the main brace, attend to the tiller and rudder your way to these shops, simply by tacking, sorry clicking on the pictures to sail to the boat in question!

   

   

  

  

  

I hope you have enjoyed sailing with me today and are floating in joy at these wonderful Folksy Finds!

Folksy Friday! June Jollies!


June Jollies!

Another month has flown by, May and the May Daze Daily listing club has come to an end and a new months daily listing club commences, hoping that the June Diamond Celebrations are also sales celebrations for us all, with the nation being in a celebratory mood, the listing club members voted for the name June Jollies for this month, which I hope will be prophetic as well as eloquent.

The May Daze did very well, considering both the economic climate and made a wonderful 344 collective sales, and although this is greatly reduced from this time last year, it is on a par with the sales tally for the previous month of April, and we all hope sales continue and hope that they improve for us all during this month of celebration and jubilation!

June Jollies Gallery!

So to start us off, I thought I would show you a selection of the wonderful creative talents on show already this month!  

There is no particular theme, just all gorgeous and that I felt the colour combination went really well together!

Please just click on the pictures, to Jolly across to the shops in question!






I hope you have liked my selection today and are going to enjoy celebrating with us during the month of June!
