Chocolate and Christmas

By Marceline | October 9, 2008

Chocolate Swirl brooches

I kept these brooches back for a surprise – they’re called Chocolate Swirl brooches because the buttons remind me of neapolitan ice cream. Nom nom. Anyway, when I was picking out buttons for my last batch of vintage button brooches, I realised I had three of these so I thought I would make an edition of 3 for a change. They’re all exactly the same, except one has a slightly different shape of swirl. If you fancy one, they’re in my shop and on Etsy, and you’ve got a little more time to think it over since they’re not one of a kind like the others!

I also had a think about my Folksy shop and decided to streamline it to just stationery, art and zines – paper goods really. It’s getting way too confusing for my fuzzy memory to remember what I’ve listed where, especially since I have so many one of a kind things. Hopefully this will make things a lot clearer for everyone. I’m still really enjoying my Folksy experience, much more so than Etsy. I also added Folksy to my guide to setting up shop online as I definitely see it as a major contender now.

Christmas Cards

I’m NOT going to pester you with Christmas stuff just yet but if you are one of those super-organised folks then my Christmas card sets are now in the shop – each set has 4 different photo cards showing images of a Kawaii Christmas or a White Christmas. Cute or traditional – it’s your choice!

And finally, I will be at the Glasgow Craft Mafia indie market on Saturday – hope to see you there!
