Peachiness...

I've always loved peach flowers.  I'm not really a girly girl, but I have a Flower Fairy book that I have had since I was very small and my favourite has always been the rose fairy who is hugging a peach rose.  Such a beautiful image.  For those of you who haven't heard of the Flower Fairies heres a link http://www.flowerfairies.com/UK/home.html

While having a fun outing with the Seedlings at the Garden Centre last week, I found a new species of Seedling, nestled into the most beautiful flower; a Pom pom Dahlia.

Freshly Caught Feelings : Fruity...

I am finally unveiling the second series of my Freshly Caught Feelings, and can share with you all that my newest Feeling is Fruity! 

These consist of beautiful jam/pickling jars each lined with artificial grass.  I hand make vintage tags that I tie around the tops, explaining which Feeling is inside the jar.  In this case, it is a new Feeling called Fruity who smells of strawberries and comes with a little bag of strawberry sweets in case it gets hungry on it's journey.  

The mini plush themselves are a mere 1.5" tall and are made of super soft, red fleece with hand embroidered eyes and hand painted yellow 'pips' (fabric paint) to make them look like mini strawberry monsters.  Each is stuffed with naturally soft stuffing and strawberry aromatherapy.  They each have a handmade, sewn in tag, that has their limited edition number on out of 40.

Hidden in amongst the 40 Fruity Feelings are 5 rare white versions that are randomly numbered, so you won't know if you have one, until you open your box.  Each piece is packaged with plenty of padding in recycled, cardboard boxes.  These will retail for £10 each and will be available in my shop in the next few weeks : http://tayloredcuriosities.bigcartel.com/

Friends...

We had more glorious sun today after a few days of fog and gloom, so I took the opportunity to take some fresh photos.  I FINALLY managed to capture the real blue of Afraids' fur (fleece :P) so you can get a much better idea of the colour and contrast with it's white, glow in the dark eyes.

Obviously Tuppy couldn't miss a photo op, and joined us for photographising fun!
