Supporting Pretty Handmade.

Hi lovely readers,

Hope you are all well. Its pretty cold here in melbourne today. Although the sun was shining so it made the winter trees, new flowers and green grass really pretty.

I wanted to share with you some other pretty things in my life. I have been doing a bit of handmade shopping over the past few months as really, Im so in love with so much I see and really want to support handmade. I also can't expect people to support my handmade business if I don't support theirs.

Ever since signing up for theHandmade 365 challenge, it's given me extra reason to be on the look out for new bits and pieces to wear. Not only for the challenge but for good. I love these pieces I have bought, and hope I have introduced you to some new makers that you can perhaps support.
