Lucky Day...

During the month of October I participated in Blogtoberfest and I discovered lots of lovely new blogs to read and entered in many wonderful giveaways. One of which was from the blog

I SPEAK MELSH by Mel, and I was lucky enough to be a runner up prize winner. Well today I got my wonderful prize and she has really excelled herself as I have been spoilt with lovely cards, notebook, craft papers, charm and chocolate!!! And it has come all the way across the globe from the UK. Thankyou so much Mel and it couldn't have come at a better time because........................

I have a project in mind!! Today I set out with the hopes of finding myself an old case that I could use to take to market to display my rag dolls in. And can you believe my luck, the very first op shop that I went to I spied it on the top shelf down the back corner, and it was just what I was looking for!!!! Sold... It doesn't look much now, but I plan to work some magic on it and decoupage it until it looks awesome. Mels papers are going to come in handy for this project.

Nice start to the week

DUST OFF THE CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS by Maddo

SUMMER LOVIN' by BonTons

I have been included in some lovely treasuries this week by some of my Dust Aussie Etsy Friends

Little Raggy Doll

What have I been making? Well this little girl and a few of her friends will be coming with me to my next Market. Don't be fooled by her sweet little face as she is mischief in the making - I am sure lots of little girls will love to have her as a partner in crime. I have drawn up the pattern to her myself ,and there have been a few attempts to get her just how I wanted, but now I am happy with her :0)

T 4 2....and DUST Craft Swap

Now that the pressure of Blogtoberfest is off I haven't blogged for a few days - but keeping up with my Tuesday commitment to dust off a teapot , we are back on track with T42 Tuesday.

Last week I showed you a couple of storybook teapots - The pinocchio being one of my favourites, and I also said how I really wanted to add some more storybook ones to my collection....Well, look what turned up in the post today!

The Alice In Wonderland Sadler Teapot from the Storybook Collection

The detail in these pots are just fabulous - look at the little teapot painted on the spout

And on top , another little teapot sitting on a book - it is just so cute

Now , that is not all that turned up in the post today - I participated in the DUST craft-swap again last month , this is my fourth one and I have had such fantastic swap partners.

This time I was partnered with Pia from Giantshoots and she sent me two of her tote bags which have been screenprinted with her own designs.

THE SLAVE and SHOPPING BY NUMBERS

SHOPPING BY NUMBERS is functional and helpful when you shop, as it lists all the common preservatives in your food by number and the problems that they can cause to your health - Great Idea Pia - Thanks :0)
