Update

Hi everyone :)

Time for an update. I have been busy making custom orders for my flowers and stick pins, so that is why I have been a bit absent. I have one very large special order that is going to a scrapbook store - I am so very excited about that!

As of today, all stickpins and bead sprays are SOLD OUT!

I am also busy with another new venture using my handmade flowers for other projects. Hopefully it will take off :)

I will have another sale in the next few weeks as I have some new flowers in the works and I think you will LOVE them. So keep popping back for more updates.

Have a wonderful day!

I saw these at a gift store and they were gorgeous but way too expensive. I knew I could make my own and decided to see if anyone would like to grab one too.  The one pictured has a yellow bead, but I can tailor make to any colour you desire. I have plain (pictured) or an etched filigree - your choice!

Sale Update

Unfortunately, due to the school holidays and Easter preparations there will be no sale tomorrow night :(

I have been working my little patootie off to try and get everything ready for the sale and I realise now that it just won't happen in time. I'm really bummed that I have to do this, but there just hasn't been enough time in my days to give my full attention to making all the pretties for you.

But, there will be a big list of items to buy next Wednesday 27th. I have some special things up my sleeve that I'm sure you're bound to love. I will have some sneaks up in the coming days, so stay tuned.

I want to wish everyone a Happy Easter and I hope the bunny brings lots of chocolately goodness for you all :)

Take care and stay safe!

Thankyou

I wish to thank everyone who made purchases and helped make the first sale of A Pocketful Of Pretties a success.  I wasn't expecting as many sales as I've had and I thankyou from the bottom of my heart!

I have been busy creating some new stickpins and flowers for the next sale date on Wednesday 20th April.

There will be different styles and designs of both and I can't wait to show you some sneak peeks!

Some Sneaks!

I have a few sneak peeks for you today. It has been so overcast and rainy and it was extremely difficult to get some good lighting. If the weather is better tomorrow I will take some more to give exact colourings.

I hope you like what you see so far :)










As you can see I have a thing for tulle - and why not, it's so soft and pretty!

Let me know what you think :)
