Evening!
Now I know for a fact that no-one will be reading this, I mean it's 11 o'clock on Saturday night, you're obviously all going to be out partying! But I'd just thought I'd make a small announcement....
Oh yeah, at LAST! Look, I've even got a link thingy in the side bar!
So the ribbon to the front door has been ceremoniously cut and you all are welcome to come and join me for a glass of the best champagne (for best read virtual)!! I've got one whole apron (actually it's a half apron) in there, which will be joined very shortly by a few more lovelies , just building up a bit more stamina it's taken a most of the evening thus far!
And to celebrate being on Etsy I'm going to do a GIVE AWAY!
This lovely raspberry apron is the sister to my first Etsy listing. She has my 'Vintage Spoon' design handscreen printed onto recycled raspberry linen, featuring button embellishment and hand embroidery with a fat tie made of the most delicous green/grey linen fastening into a bow,at the front or back - whichever you prefer! So if you fancy glamming up life in your kitchen leave a comment, just telling me who your favourite blog is, to go into the grand draw! (I say grand, but you know I mean pulling a name out from my rather under-used mixing bowl....). I'll post the name of the winner, along with the most popular/interesting blogs, in a week (Sunday 15th).
Phew! It's all going according to Plan!!

ha ha - except for those of us for whom it is actually 11am Sunday of course.
Congratulations!!!! Your shop is great and the champagne is chilled. I can't believe I am the first person here. Yikes I could never narrow down my huge blog list into one favourite.
That spoon fabric is killing me - I love it !
Wow fantastico well done you! This is such an exciting forward step. I would love to win your beautifull pinny, it looks kind a fruity and cheeky to me. I love catcing up with http://daisiedavies.blogspot.com/ because it makes me feel normal, and she's VERY nice. (I check in with all the blogs on my side bar almost daily)
I popped over to see the shop - it's looking wonderful!
Favourite blog is a really tricky one. My choice waxes and wanes so frequently, so I just have to read loads (shame). But Flossie Teacakes always brings a smile to my face.
Congratulations, love the blue denim bib! There are so many great blogs, it's hard to choose...I do visit the girls over at A Spoonfull of Sugar often.
Good luck in your new venture! If you could see my bloglines you would know that I don't have any one favourite!
Ooh, yes please, include me in a giveaway!! I read many blogs and really like Twiggypeasticks, Scary Mommy and Jenny flower (can't believe she pivcked me). All URLs on my blog, can't be bothered to type them all out at the mo, really lazy on sunday afternoons!!
The shop is looking good, I heart you!!

Congrats on your new shop. I can't wait to see the new things you add. There is a blue fabric used in your Iris and Lily Handmade Icon. I hope something made with that goes into your shop soon.
Please enter me in your giveaway.
Internet schminternet! I wrote a lovely long comment yesterday and then the internet croaked. The gist was: I love to look at your blog, seeing as it was your initiative that compelled me into the world of blog, and I get to see what you're up to/the lovely things you make. Otherwise, I like all those on my blog list, especially at the mo, Quilt while you're ahead. xxx
good luck with you shop!
that spoon fabric is fabulous...
I really like the blog, the Pioneer Woman Cooks-some really great recipes on there!! Good luck with your Etsy shop!
