Textile Love

My plan this evening was to do a new blog post and earlier today I was doing some research on my next subject, when a Folksy status appeared on our Facebook page that announced a new competition they are running.

They have requested that you curate your own Featured Items page by choosing 18 of your favourite Folksy goodies around the theme "Textile Love". Although I do not normally focus on one store this was a perfect opportunity to share with you my love for Textiles and introduce you all to the world of Folksy.

So please see below some of our favourite Textile items from Folksy.. Enjoy! x

Shrove Tuesday

Tomorrow is Shrove Tuesday, in the UK, Shrove Tuesday is also known as Pancake Day because it is the one day of the year when almost everyone eats a pancake.It is the last day before the period which Christians call Lent and it is traditional on this day to eat pancakes.

I always think making pancakes is a great way to involve all your friends and family, in honor of this, I thought it would be lovely to think of some lovely gift ideas suitable for birthdays, moving home, going off to university... all pancake related of course!

Pancakes are great for any morning treat so why not treat someone to a gorgeous pancake inspired Hamper... What could be easier and more decadent than a plate of freshly made pancakes!

£20.95
