Introducing: New sponsors for 2011!

Please join me in welcoming my lovely new sponsors for 2011!

The Smallholder Series

The Smallholder Series' DVDs are presented by Adam Henson and have been designed to provide expert guidance for smallholders, livestock owners and anyone interested in country living and 'the good life'. All I can say is if ONLY I had more land I'm sure I'd be glad of the extra help! :-)

Kitschy Vintage

Please give a warm welcome to Anne over at Kitschy Vintage. She has been a collector of all things vintage since she was a girl and loves anything old and/or odd. She recently quit her day job and started an etsy shop and will soon be selling in a local antiques mall. She's had her blog for a while, and has recently set up her new blog to showcase her thrifting and estate sale shopping passion, the little gems she finds and collects, and the things she restores or repurposes. Please do follow her blog as she is planning to hold some tutorials on the specific things she collects, such as Gurley candles, Fiestaware or Queen Elizabeth II Coronation souvenirs. I for one will be checking her blog for updates! :-)

Bluebell & Rosie


Say hello to Kate over at Bluebell and Rosie. This talented lady makes the most marvelous handmade goodies, such as cushions, lavender hearts, brooches and keyrings using really pretty fabrics over in her online shop.

I particularly love her Dog print cushion (below).

Original Stitch

Look at this stunning bird print tea cosy!

And last, but certainly not least, we have Original Stitch. They make the most lovely eco-friendly gifts and toys, made from vintage and recycled fabric, and upcycled into beautiful homewares and gifts. All their products are stitched individually, with love, in the UK. Catherine at Original Stitch also has a blog and is a huge supporter of handmade and UK businesses so do go and show your support and follow her blog.
