Fabulous Treasure #Handmade #Folksy

I decided to do something today that I haven`t done for a while. That`s made you wonder hasn`t it? Looking at the new listings I decide to have a wander and add things that caught my eye. Various crafts that appealed to me for one reason or another. The style, the colour, the cuteness factor, the quirkiness or just because it`s something different.
There are certainly alot of very appealing and yummy creations today. The saddlebag made from a tyre particularly caught my eye, I`m thinking christmas present here. I mean, how often do you see something like that, so totally different. I think, hope, you`ll love all my finds today and go looking through the shops to see what else they have available.
Yesterday I spent all day organising all my receipts and sorting everything out for the taxman who I am going to see today. The last time I had to visit the office was about 3 years ago and I discovered that I didn`t exist. That took some unravelling I`ll tell you. The lovely man who helped me couldn`t have been kinder or nicer, especially as it all took a while. I`ve always found them to be very good and helpful despite doing a job that most people deride.
By the time I had finished it all it was late afternoon and I felt brain dead. Although I did start my chutney off in the morning and then got on with the tax stuff while it busily simmered away. I`ve never made chutney before so was hoping it would be okay. Having examined the jars after they had cooled all seems to be well. I did have a quick taste and I liked it, so fingers crossed others do too, especially as I have several jars. Apparently my son in law likes chutney so we`ll taste test it on him. I will point out here that I do like my son in law and am not expecting to poison him.
I actually managed to get some photos done too which is good, although a couple of items will have to be re-done, the others are fine.
As usual, to see a bigger picture or a description, just click on the item to view it in the shop.
Havbe FUN and ENJOY!!!

Organising my tax stuff took all day
it was my own fault, I have to say.
Should have done it as I went along
but I didn`t and that was wrong.
I know now that`s it`s best to organise
all in advance, now that I`m wise.
My brain was very overworked
and a blog theme I shirked.
Instead I had a wander round
and just look what I found!
Something different just for you,
plus cuteness and quirky to view.
Dominate the world with a book
I bet that made you look.
A saddlebag made from a tire
and no, it`s not for hire.
A leather bag, how good is that,
see that lovely felted hat.
A bag for knitting and for shopping
now that has got you hopping.
A pencil case, oh so cute
all you need is the loot.
A cushion and a teacosy
now don`t they look very posy.
Painted tealights, beautiful art,
from that you wouldn`t want to part.
Socks, toys and a bracelet too,
plus lavender dolls just for you.
Wonderful creations galore
who could ask for more!
