Lemons And The Cat's Dinnertime

I thought I'd do a Folksy pick this week as I missed doing one last week. I didn't really have a theme in mind so started browsing on Folksy and suddenly thought "Lemons!"

Here is my Lemon-themed pick and it's good enough to eat! Links for each shop are under the photos ~

It Must Be Dinnertime
There I was yesterday minding my own business making some earrings when this big furry lump appeared and plonked himself right in front of me. Yes that big furry lump was Eddie my cat and yes it was his dinnertime!

Where's me dinner?

Look At Me!

The latest Folksy Seller article is now on IndieSmiles - Folksy Favs! It's titled "Look At Me" and discusses ways to promote your shop online and off.
Folksy sellers haptree, Wharfedale Woolworks, DinkyDaisy and CakesKnitsandCosies shared how they promote their shops "in the real world" and it's interesting to find out the different ways they do it. There's also a slideshow of their creations to look at.
So a big thank you to Anne, Kirsty, Debbie and Lynne and also to Folksy seller Helen of Glamorous Glue for letting me use the photo of her red and white mushroom earrings!
If you would like to leave a comment about the article (tiny link at the bottom under the slideshow, you might need your magnifying glass to find it!) I would be very grateful :D

Here's a taster of the slideshow....
