Folksy Friday

What do you think? Bit tidier around here? I finally managed to sit down and sort out my blog layout.  I created a  very basic header for now, I don't even have Photoshop you see, so I may need to get a header sorted by a professional soon, but for now I am quite happy to live with cake :)

So now I am all spruced up I thought I would try my first Folksy Friday. I love browsing through all the clever things that people make and sell, wishing that I was rich enough to buy all of it and I figured a Folksy Friday might act as a form of therapeutic window shopping.  So with the weather turning fresher, the distinct smell of autumn in the air, and with the first day of school just a few short weeks away, my mind is turning to crisp autumn days, chillier evenings, central heating, tea and melty biscuits, long hot baths and cosy knitted things. Aaaaaah…

Orange Spice Soap from Saffron Barr

I love Judith's shop  I bought some of her soap for hubby and it was great for his sensitive skin (bless him) and her lavender and goat's milk soap is a huge hit with the 4-year-old in this house.

Ostrich Coloured Alpaca Shrug from ileaiye

If only I had some spare cash!  I can see myself sweeping about the countryside and sipping wine by a fireside wrapped in this gorgeous shrug.

So there you have it - my first Folksy Friday.  That was very enjoyable.  Think I might snuggle down with a cuppa now and dream of autumn :)
