Etsy Finds Friday - Congratulations!

Hello! I hope you're all well! Today's handmade finds are dedicated to congratulating Oliver on his graduation to pilot yesterday, yay!!




I had to look a bit further than Folksy this Friday, as there's very little in the way of handmade aircraft memorabilia on Folksy, but as it's a special occasion, I decided that a little branching out would be allowed - today's finds are from Etsy instead! As always, click the photos to visit the item's Etsy page!











I cheated with this one...but they ARE helicopters, and they ARE beautiful!


Congratulations, you :)

Buttons!

Hello there! I've mentioned my love of buttons before, in this post, but we watched the film Coraline over the weekend and although it was really really good, I found it absolutely terrifying...it's a good job I didn't watch it as a child! If you've never seen it, I won't spoil it, but it involves having buttons sewn in place of the characters' eyes...scary, yes?



Anyway, to alleviate my fears of buttons for eyes, and to get them back in my good books, I found these lovelies for your perusal! Click all the photos to go to their sources.












Nice, huh? Buttons are my friends again! Phew!

The second issue of my crocheting magazine hasn't yet arrived, but I have bought some beautiful autumny-coloured wool to start a project with. I haven't yet decided on the project but I'll show you in the very near future, hopefully! What would you make with these colours?
