After finding myself in a few beautiful mosaics over the past few weeks (thank you!) I thought it was time to start my own Folksy Friday posts. So every Friday I will be blogging some great Folksy finds and for my very first ff mosaic I've selected a few pieces from my saved favourites page ...
1. new home card by Design Rocks, 2. Ceramic cup cake candle holders by Lauren Ceramics, 3. Linen Cat in Pink Russian Doll Print Dress by The Linen Cat, 4. Spotty Toadstool Hand carved rubber stamp by Skull and Cross Buns , 5. Wren brooch by kate broughton , 6. cavebear by Treaclezoo
Share some Folksy love - please link to these shops and add them to your favourites, they're all super fantastic!

BUTTON GIVEAWAY!!
__
Who fancies winning 200+ buttons? ... Me and my little helper (above) sat on the front room floor this afternoon and put together roughly 230+ (150g) buttons in some super cool colours! Em was in charge of choosing the bright ones and I chose some beautiful pastel shade buttons. The mix includes a few vintage, but mostly shiny new buttons ... some of which you will find in my Folksy shop ;)
eek! Yes, all these buttons could be yours! :)
Mmmm...
Plus the winner will also receive a few extra treats! ...
___What you need to do --- As it's Folksy Friday I'd like you to leave a comment below & link me to one of your favourite Folksy finds!
__
Post your comment before Thursday (6th may), 12 noon to be entered. Em will pull the winner from a hat, then the winner will be announced here on Thursday evening. Good luck!
__
very small print -- there will be only one winner / only one entry per person / please leave a contact email address or blog link so I can contact you if you're the winner / feel free to link my giveaway on twitter :p x
