Winter Warmers

Being warm doesn’t mean losing your sense of style!

With leaves falling and the nights shortening, we’re getting to that time of year when winter woollies feature a significant part of the day. However, being left with a choice between practicality and fashion, crafty folk have turned their attention to the coming winter and have started creating their own fashion statements.

Here’s a selection of delightful winter warmers which combine practicality with chic, from the September Stars club over at Folksy.

See the world through a child’s eyes and have a more fulfilling life!

A long time ago, one of our friends coined the phrase ‘Flowers, Fairies and Wispy Dragons’. We know it is funny, but it is great for bringing a smile to your face and remembering that there’s nothing wrong with being young at heart.

This is our tribute to the September Stars, whose lovely items remind us of our favourite things, and help us remember to see the beauty in everything, through a child’s eyes!

This beautiful pendant from Blue Glass Daisy is the perfect embodiment of everything that little girls love: pink, flowers, butterflies and pretty jewellery.
