pOm pOm Trimmings are here....

I know, i know, too much to handle.... brain   cannot   compute

pOm pOm (i love that word) Trim.

£2.70 per metre in Aqua, Apple and Raspberry

or you can order a card of 15m / 18yds for £31.00 so you can have lots and lots of it for your bags and purses and cushions and fun-ness.

paperfishltd@googlemail.com - if you want to order.

 each pOm is about 1cm so a great size for clothing and accessories. Not too 'in your face'

I could just look at those colourful photos all day. It would be enough for me i think.

 Another awesome book in the shop, is THIS!

Crafty Supersta by Grace Dobush.

Although directed at the American market it is still full of great tips on setting yourself up to sell Crafts.

 It is a beautiful book with nice fonts, lovely Matt paper, rounded corners, direct contents....

 How to handle ETSY.... really, i know i have said it and said it but i wouldn't order a book unless i loved it. LovePaperFish has already sold a couple to some locals who want to give 'selling crafts' a go.

 I have about 5 copies left in total and then they are gone.

Pass it onto a friend when you've finished or even sell it on if you want. That is the best way to re-use books in my humble opinion.

We might need a bigger webshop... and a bigger studio at this rate!

 (looking for staff... those who don't mind a terribly wage, a crazy ole boss, and much tea and cake!?)

Photography and shopping on Folksy....

LOOK at this photograph... I love it. I love the perspective, the clarity, the window... my 4yr old took it. She Rocks - and she has a fantastic 'view' of the world - both physically and emotionally. I thought she might end up as a vet..... now I am wonering if Photography could feature? Maybe a photographer of animals? She is equally at home with a camera or a .... camel! I was photographing these>>>>> when she took the camera (little pegs and bookmarks - new stock on my PaperFish stall and i love them x) Her photo is actually much more inviting, and maybe i'll get her to do my 'stock shots' in future? But actually, it was THESE i bought from Folksy last week - YES, I am well aware Christmas is over for 2008 but i live Christmas in my head so it is never 'too early' or 'too late' in my book.

Handmade by TheHomePress - www.Folksy.com/shops/thehomepress as printed on the reverse of each card. I think they are printed from a LINO cut? They have a raised paint / ink front so quite tactile. ....

They came in a set of three and i love each one (Robin especially so)

In truth, they won't ever be sent. I buy stationary alot - often - and i just hoarde it or pin them on my walls / boards / i like them too much to share but i appreciate them all.

I am thinking I may frame these and have them as a set of prints on my wall because Christmas is my time baby! It is when I am happiest and calmest and mostest fullest of love and affection x

Folksy ROCKS for UK shopping, so go see....ummm, i purchased other great things too! and i'll share them soon..... x
