Eight brooches later.....

Im slightly late with my weekly target, i had intended to make five fascinators by the 18th april, but i decided on brooches instead and made eight of the little lovelies!
Look out for them in my Etsy shop!
Here are the fruits of my labour this last week (and a bit).

Carriemariah@Glamshackle!

Yes thats right my little creations will now be featured in the lovely Glamshackle, a very cute little vintage boutique in Preston Lancashire owned by Helen Warner.

Heres a link to a lovely picture of just a little bit of Glamshackle on Facebook Im going to ask for permission to take some photographs of the shop so i can share the loveliness with you guys and tell you a bit more maybe :)

All the images on the previous post are what iv taken to Glamshackle except the little valentines brooch which is currently on Etsy in my shop :)

Iv been gallery browsing today and have some lovely pics for you, but first i must dash off and make the tea!

Im also planning to approach a lovely little vintage boutique in Preston called Glamshackle, they have some beautiful vintage clothing and other one of a kind handmade items, looks like the perfect place for some fascinators!;) Im hoping they would like to have some of my creations to add to their lovely collection, so fingers crossed xx

Craft Hope for Haiti

I just have to post about Craft Hope!
"Craft Hope is a faith-based, love inspired project designed to share handmade crafts with those less fortunate. It is our hope to combine our love for crafting and desire to help others into a project to make a difference around the world." (from the site)

It is so inspiring to see the love and generosity of the founders of Craft Hope. These kind people are giving up their free time (and more it seems) to bring Craft Hope for Haiti.

Thousands of creatives worldwide have been donating their handmade items to the Craft Hope for Haiti Etsy shop all proceeds too Doctors without borders.

Seemingly around $10.000 has already been raised please click on the link above and have a look at the site, they have so much information about Haiti and the endless other projects they are involved in it really is inspiring!
Iv sent in my own donation today, im hoping its not too late :)

Just a little Hopeful Fascinator.
$22.00  made for Craft Hope with all proceeds to Doctors without borders.

I really hope it gets in as i know the closing date is today for 2 weeks, i think its open untill the end of the day so im hopeful!

Please visit Craft Hope Etsy shop and give generously :)

Lots of love and well wishes
Carriemariah
