This Scotland Flag Love Heart was the first ever item I sold on Etsy.

Mr Mac was very proud.

Looking forward to seeing and sharing them... x

Hello Mr Fox...

It is Autumn already.

As I reach for my blanket and look for my hot water bottle, I know it will soon be time to bring out my coat, scarf, gloves and woolly hat too.

Here is the cutest little fox to keep you company as the nights drawn in and the leaves turn red...

He has been hand-sculpted from polymer clay by Laura from le animalé.

Find him and many other cute little animals online:

Keep warm and cosy... x

I love Roma...

For this year's trip to Italy, we went to the beautiful city of Rome.

Here are just some of the highlights to share with you all...

 Santa Maria Maggiore

 Vittoriano

 Fontana di Trevi

 Piazza di Spagna

 The Vatican City

 Mille Miglia, Castel Sant Angelo

 The prettiest pasta, Campo de Fiori

 Colosseo

 Sala della Rotonda, Musei Vaticani

Galleria delle Carte Geografiche 
(The Gallery of Maps)
Musei Vaticani

We also love the wonderful food, especially the lasagne and the gelati!

See the bright blue sky and the impeccable Italian style and elegance.

I wonder where we will go next year...

My dream car...

I would drive this lovely dinky little red car with my BF for company in the front seat and as many of my love hearts in the trailer for sale all around Italy.

How sweet a life that would be?

Love to make...

I love to make hearts and other cute things.

I love shopping for felt, ribbons, buttons and beads.

What do you love to make?

Please do leave a comment...

Heart 2 Heart

I made 30 pairs of these lovely little hearts for my sister's wedding.

They were a very personal touch to her special day. I hope her guests liked them...

Lots of love, Big Sis x
