On this dull, windy Autumn day, it was a little tonic to receive through the post my giveaway win from Suzanne at SkyBlueSea. Just look at all this gorgeous loveliness. I should have shown you how exquisitely it was wrapped and presented, but unfortunately my excitement got the better of me and I just ripped into it!
I chose this little hairslide from about half a dozen all equally sweet. I would have shown it in my long glossy locks, except that I desperately need my roots doing and you don't want a close-up of that! Not even this delightful hairslide could make that a good look!
And this unusual little personalised bookmark with my initial, a charm of my choice (I chose a wing), and a little handmade fabric tag with that very appropriate quote, which I do try to follow.
And, as if that weren't enough, this lovely framed photograph printed onto watercolour paper with this stitched quote underneath.
As you can see, Suzanne is very clever and very versatile. It's a wonderful mix of textiles, quotations, photography, drawing, and lots more. I sincerely recommend you to have a look at her blog - it's always interesting, often thought provoking and always lovely to look at.
Her own description of her work says it all ...... "unique handmade treasures".
Well, I shall certainly treasure them! Thank you Suze!
Bye for now. x Cathy.
Treasures indeed - and thank you for the recommendation, I shall go and have a look!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your win. Lovely items. xxx
ReplyDeleteWhjat a lovely giveaway you won! I really like the Longfellow quote. I missed your last post and must just mention a school trip I accompanied earlier this year where I learnt that you can tell whether a squirrel is left or right handed by the way a pattern is formed as it rips off the pieces on a cone! (I use the word hand loosely - can't rememebr the name of a squirrels hand!)
ReplyDeleteoh, lucky you. Such beautiful things to receive and the quotes are just wonderful. The colours in your post really shone out at me, there has to be a yarn in there somewhere!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful giveaways (you have won another one over on my blog!)
