Folksy Friday

I wanted to get involved with Folksy Friday for the first time but struggled to come up with ideas of what to feature. I am quite into horoscopes etc so decided to make my topic the star sign of Leo (July 23 to August 23) and all things associated with it!

Here are some of the gorgeous items I found (http://www.folksy.com/)



Wee Lion has joined the Wild Beasties range! He stands approximately 4cm high and is entirely from polymer clay, with black onyx beads for eyes. Because Wee Lions are individually handmade, each one is a little different.

This beautiful clock is hand-painted and features a friendly little lion. The clock is made from a high quality wood and contains a Quartz mechanism. The clock requires one AA batteries. Clock measures approximately 23 cm / 9 inches.

  3. When I was little I always wanted a lion as a pet - but I got a rabbit instead! Very pretty earrings - love that shade of green. I often get stumped for an FF subject - last week I used this method which turned it into a bit of fun :) http://thesockgarden.wordpress.com/2010/07/23/random-shelf-generator-folksy-friday/
