Made in China

hello all, how are yah?

so this is a post about a little giveaway i entered and WON from the lovely Lucy Farfort, which you can see details of here: http://www.lucyfarfort.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/a-folky-little-giveaway.html ive followed Lucy for ages on twitter and she does cute illustrations and stuff, so have a look if you can.

anyway, in the giveaway i won some pretty and delicate authentic chinese papercut pieces, which i just thought were so unusual and sweet, and i really want to use them to collage a little wooden storage box or table or something and add some gold/silver leaf. i think thatd look awesome! watch out  for a post on that, when i do something with them! seriously though, the papercuts are so pretty, here are some photos: 

the paper pieces are so thin and delicate. lovely:

do you all love the papercuts as much as i do? have you ever seen them before? do you own any!?

i hope youve enjoyed reading this post and do leave a little comment if you like!?

hip, hip, Rosehip

hello.

heres a post about the lovely gift tags i WON in a giveaway from an awesome company called 'Rosehip', who make 'modern british stationary and paper products'.

i won them by commenting on a blog post, and im so happy that i did, as i commented that id like to use the tags as 'backing tags' for some of the jewellery ive made using vintage and new buttons.

here they are, along with a little handwritten tag from Silkie [which is an amazing name!]

here is what ive done with one of them, ive added one of my own 'Moo' Minicards too:

and here are some button pieces im gona use some of the other tags for very soon! how exciting:

so, i do hope you liked this post, and my cute gift tags! i hope its ok to use them as tags for my jewellery. im sure it is!?
