The June Bugs from Folksy

"June is busting out allover" well, ok it has been for 7 days now, sorry I am a bit late, but been busy with afore mentioned show, which was a success and we managed to raise just short of £360 for Woof Beginnings!!!

Anyway, to the point - remember the Mayhemers? well this month we have the June Bugs, where we can find the best crafters showcasing their wonderful talents with crafts for you to purchase on Folksy. Its easy too, all you need to do is click the pictures of the below scrumptious items for futher details, and to take a look around the rest of that crafters shop.

To begin is Nofkants Curios, not only a great crafter but the caretaker of the June Bugs, who looks after us all and calculates the amazing sales tally each month. Be sure to click on this wonderful knitted and crocheted handbag.



One of the talented card makers is "Cards with a Difference" with today's card a trio of bears



For something clever and totally different, this really attracted me this morning from "Lilly's Night Garden" this decorative box in the style of a flip flop



One of my favorite jewellery makers (I have some of her earrings) "Squintessential" and a gorgeous Summer Pastels Necklace



From "C Shell Designs" another one that caught my eye today, very attractive card for the Camper Van people



"Diomo Glass" has this lovely glass panel in her shop today, be sure to take a look at the other wonderful items she has there too



As someone who cannot draw for toffee, I am always amazed at the collection of wonderful art on Folksy, here is a watercolour painting from "Wellydog Gallery" I am very tempted by



This is lovely, and a great idea too, from "Clover Jewels" a bright eyes beaded glasses chain



Lastly from me at "Bags of Swank by SimJaTa" a visit from the Love Birds on this lighter weight tote bag, that can easily fold up in your handbag to take with you.




Hope you have enjoyed today's choices, I will endeaver to keep up a bit better this month so you wont miss out on all the wonderful items to be found on Folksy from the 'June Bugs'.

Update by SimJaTa

After a couple of weeks of major upheaval at SimJaTa studio's, with heating to fix and finally today my beloved shower mended I am happy to say that Bags of Swank can now continue full steam ahead.

Today I listed the Vintage Fabric Tote bag you can see here in the pictures, and it will be on its way to the post office shortly as already sold. The other two bags are on the future list, not yet in the Folksy shop, so you may wish to watch out for those. What an excellent discovery the bears, moose and fish fabric was, ideal for the wildlife fan, and great natural colours finished off with a superb wooden vintage button I found. Another VW Camper Van bag to come also, the last one sold quite quickly.

One Scarf sent off earlier in the week from the Special by SimJaTa shop, that has gone off to auction to help Cats in Care. With a custom order yet to start, then on to another auction item for a child in need. I have also sent off a sample tote bag for a possible new outlet, wont tell you anymore about that yet as still to be confirmed, though I have ordered some more fabric in anticipation, so fingers crossed on that one. Also had plenty of fun and games here last night attempting to hand dye some handles to match, think I need some more practice at that one.

Also have a house guest here this week, my friends dog 'Tigger' so he is keeping me quite busy as he is missing his Mum, we pop along to feed her cats twice a day too, luckily for me the post office is on the way, so helps to get those orders out on the same day.

Next blog post will be Folksy Friday already, how the week flies by.. Not a clue what theme to choose yet, hopefully I will be inspired tomorrow.

Hope everyone is having a fun and productive week, without any catastrophies around them.
