Folksy Friday, Best Talented A-Listers

Friday already? who did that, surely we havent moved passed Monday yet? goodness me, time goes so quickly.

As I have only done one blog post this month on the A-Listers this weeks Folksy Friday better be then, these are the very hard working Folksy members who try to list one of their fabulous items each day (or near enough), so please do take a look by clicking on the picture and being transported to the rest of the shop of wonders and temptations, all more than worthy on new homes..its Friday, you need a treat!!!

One of the first items I saw today was this necklace from "Be Beautiful Again Trinkets' great name, and super shop



The jewellery on Folksy is second to none, and most is one off originals, so wont be seen on another whilst you are out being admired. Here is another necklace from "Laura Faye Crafts"



The earrings in this shop are amazing, this talented lady draws them herself! Here are a pair ready for halloween by "Created by Kelly"



Dont you just hate it when you visit a friend on their birthday to find the same card you bought duplicated on their mantle? not when you buy from Folksy, here is one for the boys from "Adien Crafts"



Geisha Dolls, what a great idea - here they are as earrings from "Damselfly Gemma"



This is a stunning necklace, wait till my Mum sees it, she loves owls. Again not something you see on the mass produced shelves, Turquoise Owl by "Mary Elliott"



I just love all the items in this shop, from "Vintage Dreams" today are a set of shabby chic gift tags to brighten up your gifts



Lastly, from my other shop SimJaTa2 (link to the side of page) the last in this type of brooches, my new creations will be in the shop very soon - and OH is slowly working on a new website for them too, I just need to find a few more hours to get some new designs made. This one is a Fox Terrier in his wooly scarf




I hope you have enjoyed today's Folksy Friday Selection.

Folksy Friday - Folksy on Safari

Welcome to my new Folksy Friday slot. Today we are going on safari with Folksy, which is to showcase the superb talented Folksy Crafters with Safari theme items in their shops, simply 'click' on the photograph to be taken to the shop of the seller, were you can also view the rest of their fabulous items available to purchase.

So, hats on and come aboard the Landy were we have our first stop at this tiger by the lovely Natalie at NofkantsCurious



Wait!! Here's another one, this one from Leopard Print Bee



Oh noooooooooo, Lilac Elephant seems to be surrounded by animals here



"Over here" says Dash Crafts, she has found the Giraffes,



Millie and Milliebeads warns us all to take care not to step on the Lizards




Looks like Bee Bears has found the bears..



Careford Creations has found another Giraffe, but back at her shop she also has an Elephant, Snake and Lion to keep him company



Looks like the Giraffe may have shedded, back at My Excess Stock, here are some beads that look just like it



Here at Lisa-Maries handmade jewellery, she has managed to find a Gecko



Dab and a dash, has found a very sunny looking lion



As our surroundings become more tropical, we might need the shade of a palm tree, I think Gimme that thing may have found one for us to shelter




Whilst still in the tropical oasis, beneath the bushes are hiding some butterflies found by LouLousLuxuries



..and then SimJaTa found the Gorilla's, hiding amoungst the bags at Bags of Swank



As everyone on Safari was wilting from the heat, right there in the tropics was suddenly found very cool waters, and in them were Penguins from Wellydog gallery




I hope you have enjoyed this selection of super talent, and there are not too many to choose from. Thank you for reading this far, and thank you to the wonderful Folksy Crafters for taking part in today's Safari.
