Memo boards in the making

This weekend saw a trip to the fabric shop where I buy most of my goodies and an hour was spent oo-ing and aah-ing over the delights on offer. My hubby was very helpful and patiently put up with my complete inability to make a decision while we were there! There is something about that shop that turns me into someone who just cannot make up her mind, and those of you who know me will probably find that amusing as I am usually a very decisive person!

I spent most of Saturday afternoon making new memo boards, which will be listed in my Etsy shop this week. But I just had to give you a sneak peek before then!

 Have you spotted the Christmas fabrics? More to come soon!!

 This print is one of my personal favourites!!

Proper photos of each board to follow!

New items added to shop

The last few days have given me the much needed opportunity to do some admin stuff for Princess Crafts, which means that there are new items listed in my etsy shop!!

Take a look and make a purchase (or two, or three, more!) - plenty more items to come soon!!

This is one of my faves:

Exciting opportunity

Last week I had an interesting email from a media company in the USA very politely asking if I would like to be featured in one of their TV programmes called '15 Fresh Handmade Gift Ideas' on the HGTV channel. My immediate answer was 'absolutely'!! 

So two of these gorgeous teacups are en route to Tennessee to be featured on American telly! 

I was sad to see them go as they are some of my faves (namely cos they are pink) but I am also excited that 89 million households (so I am told) will get the chance to see my humble little teacup candles. How exciting! I rescued these particular teacups from the back of a sad and dreary charity shop, and after a bit of titivating, they're now going to be TV megastars! I'm so pleased for them : )

This is the box all ready and waiting for FedEx to collect:

There was a lot of paperwork involved in organising the FedEx delivery, but thanks to some help from my hubby, it all got filled in properly and they should be there in 24hours. I was rather paranoid of doing it wrong but a call to customer services and several stupid questions soon sorted that out!

So there you have it, Princess Crafts' first TV appearance! I now need to get my skates on and sort my website out before the show airs on Thanksgiving Day...

Need a birthday pressie this month?

Look no further!!

I have this fabulous one off teacup candle which is ideal for anyone celebrating a birthday in October!!
