By day Im a Community Psychiatric Nurse, at night/weekends, I make alternative wedding bouquets, using buttons and crystals. Ive recently opened a shop on Folksy.Blue Button Bridehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13673189138136374128noreply@blogger.comBlogger50125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389010335408602026.post-84535136767843871392011-09-17T06:48:00.020+01:002011-09-17T08:18:31.240+01:001st week on Etsy.<span style="font-size: large;">Im still finding my way around Etsy and I must admit its slightly overwhelming. I have joined a few teams, mostly UK sellers, who have all been lovely, particularly the SHHIM team, although I have just noticed that the name has changed to crafy folk </span><a href="http://www.etsy.com/teams/10502/crafty-folk"><span style="font-size: large;">http://www.etsy.com/teams/10502/crafty-folk</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> This is where alot of the sellers from Folksy are, so I do know quite a few of them, but over the week we have been joined by a few American sellers which is wonderful.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The team is run by the lovely Lillys Night Garden <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/lillysnightgarden?ref=pr_shop_more">http://www.etsy.com/shop/lillysnightgarden?ref=pr_shop_more</a> assisted by Flonightingales <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Flonightingales?ref=pr_shop_more">http://www.etsy.com/shop/Flonightingales?ref=pr_shop_more</a> and Squintessentials <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Squintessential?ref=pr_shop_more">http://www.etsy.com/shop/Squintessential?ref=pr_shop_more</a> Hopefully we will continue to get talented makers and build the team. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A quick sample of the variety of talent on offer.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Folksy have not changed their criteria but have decided to tighten up on 'unacceptable' items. which has meant that some sellers who have been on Folksy since the beginning, are now deemed as unsuitable and are being asked to either change their style or leave. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">These sellers have spent many hours promoting, finding out what their customers want, and promoting their own shops and in turn Folksy.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Now while I dont disagree that Folksy should follow their 'vision' and tighten up, I do disagree with the way that it has been handled by Folksy, and that it should have been done sooner. Its almost as if Folksy wanted as many sellers as possible regardless of what they sell, to build the site, and now they are at a point where they can dismiss these sellers as they dont fit the long term 'Vision'</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have been deemed acceptable by Folksy but have placed my shop in holiday mode while I decide what to do, these are my reasons</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Folksy have been talking about tightening up since they were in Beta (a year ago?). During the conversations that took place then, Folksy were asked to do this sooner rather than later, so people didnt continue to promote and spend money on their businesses if they werent suitable.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Because no1 was not enforced people have continued to spend money, and promote their business. Working hard to find the items that customers want, and building up a customer base over the last year. Only now to be told that they do not fit the criteria and therefore are not welcome unless they change there style. Therefore they have to start from scratch rebuilding a customer base.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Im not sure that any of us are fully aware of what this ‘vision’ is that Folksy has. It appears that the goalposts are continually moving. Some peoples items are classed as suitable, while others that are very similar are not.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4. I have concerns regarding that direction that Folksy is taking, and would like reassurance that this situation is not going to happen again in the future. That Folksy are not going to ‘tighten up’ further in a years time, excluding a lot of sellers that they are currently saying are suitable.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">5. I think the whole situation has been handled appallingly, the sellers represent the ‘Folksy Brand’ and are asked to behave appropriately on their forums, and when discussing Folksy. Yet this respect has not been returned to the sellers. On Twitter, Folksy have not represented themselves well, and have been quite dismissive of the upset, and distress that they have caused to us their customers.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">6. Folksy fees are higher than other similar sites, and are being increased come November. My sales figures on Folksy are very similar to Misi, but all of my promotion has been for Folksy, so is it really working. I have had an empty Etsy shop for the last year, which I have begun to stock. Maybe now is the time to go international and compete with the big guns in the Button Bouquet world. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Please excuse if I dont respond to comments, Im having problems with this and have emailed blogger to find out why.</span>Blue Button Bridehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13673189138136374128noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389010335408602026.post-77762497809488951852011-09-01T05:36:00.001+01:002011-09-01T05:45:19.030+01:00End of The Wedding Season.<span style="font-size: large;">First I must apologise for not blogging during the summer, its been a busy summer! This time last year, I was wondering if this whole bouquet thing was worth the effort and money that I had put into it. My folksy shop had been open for 7 months, and I had only had a couple of orders. This year has been an entirely different experience and very much worth it. Ive had far more orders, and had the pleasure of working with some amazing brides (and mother in laws, and chief bridesmaids). Ive also opened my own website <a href="http://www.bluebuttonbride.co.uk/">http://www.bluebuttonbride.co.uk/</a> Below is a selection of some of the bouquets Ive made this year.</span><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">But I have to say the two bouquets that posed the biggest design challenge and Im most proud of are Rhonas vintage lace bouquet, and Fionas vintage glass bouquet. Both ideas came from dicussions with the bride, but when I suggested the ideas, I hadnt actually worked out the logistics of how I would achieve it. So I then spent many hours of agonising, fiddling, putting together, taking apart, the odd little bit of swearing, and in the case of Fionas bouquet the breaking of some stunning vintage glass buttons that nearly made me cry</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigFodhbNNMUgEl2jOryp9B2iZRFNwwqD-0G7NB1gKFWefbVjcJWchZjanU4m3-vlbQxotHYvf57KoTVHhMfIe8nawonSd618fH7LyXZEPS2gRkmkq638X_pKWzg1Ve9fV5KlC8B4pyfUvl/s1600/Rhonas+Bouquet+013.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="240px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigFodhbNNMUgEl2jOryp9B2iZRFNwwqD-0G7NB1gKFWefbVjcJWchZjanU4m3-vlbQxotHYvf57KoTVHhMfIe8nawonSd618fH7LyXZEPS2gRkmkq638X_pKWzg1Ve9fV5KlC8B4pyfUvl/s320/Rhonas+Bouquet+013.jpg" width="320px" xaa="true" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have since made another glass bouquet for a fellow folksy seller, (cant show you yet, as her wedding is a couple of weeks away) and have perfected the design a little, but still broke quite a few, they are soooo fragile!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So the wedding season has been quite busy, and I am currently starting on Lauras bouquet (giveaway winner) and a couple of orders for early next year. Yes I already have orders for next year, so get in quick brides, cos I can see it being another busy summer, but this time I planning/hoping to stay a few months ahead of myself. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Good luck to my September brides, Stacy, Zoe, and fellow folksy seller (wont say her name cos she doesnt want people to know that she is having a button bouquet). Good luck girls, have an amazing time. </span><br />

She has the figure of an adult woman, and is very concious of this, covering it up with jumpers etc. The most recent problem has been her preoccupation with the scales, how much she weighs, and comments that she is fat. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We have had long chats about this, and the fact that a lot of her friends havent started developing yet, so have very slim, boyish figures, whereas she is very curvy, and always will be. We have made an agreement, that she is to eat what she wants, when she wants it, and is to stop weighing herself. In return I will tell her if I think that she is putting on too much weight, and needs to eat a little more healthily for a while. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I do think that fashion industry has a lot to answer for, the stick thin models that are used in photo shoots are not promoting healthy body shapes to young impressionable girls. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Today on Twitter there was a link to the new Vera Wang collection, gorgeous dresses, but I was more concerned that the models needed to eat something. </span><br />

But it was also fabulous. The perfect wedding with tears and drunken fun.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Now to the dress. The posts below explain the build up, but I promised photos, so here we go. The dress was a veromia dress designed by the amazingly talented Jason Jennings, and is stunning. But my niece didnt want a train and wanted the train used to make ruffles at the back of the dress, to make it more like the front.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">By this time my niece was so fed up she agreed to it, left. After sleeping on it, by this time it was Saturday, we both decided that it wasnt right and rang the dressmaker to ask her to stop, but couldnt get an answer. We finally got the dress back on Tuesday, most of the alterations had been done, and as we (me and my sister) were unsure if we were going to have to sew the dress we decided to leave them, and they had taken care of most of the train. We spent a coupleof hours on Tuesday evening pinning the dress into ruffles, and it looked quite good. I dont have the pics of that as they are on my nieces camera, sorry. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">So the following day my sister took the dress to the Haberdashery shop in Dover, to speak to the woman who had said that she may be able to help, at this point we were unsure if she could do the whole thing, or just finish off the train, once it had been ruffled. She took one look at the dress and said that she knew exactly what it needed, but she would have to take out what the previous dressmaker had done, because that type of stitching didnt belong on a wedding dress.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The woman was amazing! We all love her so much for what she did. The dress was perfect, better than we ever imagined. </span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

I have good news. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I woke really early today, so thought I would give you a quick update on my nieces wedding dress. We got the dress back on Tuesday, and the shop owner was a rude and dismissive as she had been on previous occasions. When we unwrapped the dress, we noticed that most of the alterations had been done and looked alright(ish) but nothing special. (the photos of that bit are on nieces camera, so will have to ask her to send me them) So we decided to leave the alterations in, as they had taken up alot of the train and we could work around them. The next 1 1/2 hours was spent pinning the dress, and we managed to achieve a look that we all really liked. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">On Wednesday my sister took the dress to the little local Haberdashery shop in Dover. She had spoken to the owner on Monday, and she had offered to help, saying that she always keeps a couple of slots free for emergencies, and if she could do the job she would. The dressmaker spent some time looking at it, and said that she knew exactly the look at we had tried to achieve, but had to take out what had been done by the previous dress maker, as it belonged on a curtain, not a wedding dress. The dress was left in her hands, and many fingers were crossed! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">She spent wednesday night unpicking and repinning the dress, and yesterday the bride went to try it on. She is over the moon! She says that she never imagined it could look that good, and has fallen in love with her dress all over again. :) My sister said that she cried with relief that someone had actually listened and understood what she wanted. The wonderful dressmaker is now spending the next 2 days completing the dress for her to walk up the ailse on Sunday. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I now cant wait to dress her on Sunday, it was a job that I was dreading doing a few days ago, but Im really looking forward to it now.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Pictures to follow on Monday, and if anyone wants to know the names of the two shops involved Im happy to tell you in a private email.</span><br />

The seamstress has been stopped half way through her alteration design, and we are getting the dress back today. The plan for this evening, it to try a few different ways of achieving the look that she wants, it can be done, because we did it in the shop with pins, and the alterations are going to be done by my sister and myself, with a different seamstress, and a grandmother on standby for sewing up the train once we've finished. <br />
I know this seems like a mad idea, but even if it means that we dont sleep between now and the wedding, she will get the dress that she wants!<br />
Pictures to follow on Monday after the wedding. I will put up all of the pics so you can see the original look, the two options that the seamstress said were the only ways that it could be done, and the final look that we will achieve (fingers crossed) Wish us luck, I have a feeling that we may need it.Blue Button Bridehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13673189138136374128noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389010335408602026.post-17329480470930150712011-05-21T19:16:00.004+01:002011-05-21T21:20:07.262+01:00Wedding Dress Nightmare<span style="font-size: large;">My poor niece, has not had a good experience with her wedding dress. After trying on many dresses, she eventually decided on one of the first dresses that she tried on, with alterations that they agreed to the back of the dress, and this was ordered from a local shop in September last year. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In December a phone call was recieved to say that the dress had come in, and she could come and try it. At the same time as this there was a death in the family, so the actual fitting didnt happen until January. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The dress was ready for her when she arrived at the shop, but as it was being put on, she realized that it wasnt a new dress, but was the sample dress that she had tried on originally, complete with pin marks in the back and a new scorch mark at the front! When confronted the shop owner originally denied that it was the sample dress, but eventually stated that my nieces dress must have been given to a bride who had bought the sample dress. She was asked if she had ordered the dress in the first place, and was adament that she had, but was unwilling to provide any proof that she had placed this order. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">She initially refused to refund the money, asking for a chance to put it right, this was agreed, but while sorting this out, she continually moaned about how she would be out of pocket, etc etc, at which point my niece said, forget it, I will go elsewhere! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks go out at this point to Mrs P&P, for advice, and Madeliane Issac James for offers to help.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So, at this point we are in mid January, and the wedding is in May, ands we have no dress! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My niece tried on a few more dresses, but then ordered the same dress from a different shop. The only other stockist in the area, and was told that it wouldnt be in the shop until May 16th (wedding is on the 29th), and would still need the alterations at the back. My sister attempted to contact the company to try and get it delivered earlier, but met with resistance, and was told that she couldnt speak with the manager. A few weeks later the manager contacted her and said that she couldnt believe that she hadnt been told about the situation and would ensure that the dress was delivered as soon as possible. One helpful person! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The dress was delivered at the end of April, but the shop stated that she couldnt have a fitting until after her hen weekend in case she put on weight! So last week was the fitting. On arrival we were pointed to the changing room, and left to get on with it. So I dressed the bride. The dressmaker/seamstress attended and the changes were discussed and agreed. Yesterday we had another appt, and again were left to dress the bride. The changes to the dress had been done on a temporary basis, but werent right. We were discussing this when the shop assistant asked us to leave the changing room so a member of her family could try on a dress for her daughters wedding. A member of staff assisted us at first with trying to get the look right at the back of the dress, but then said 'you know what she wants, you do it' and left me and my sister on the floor pinning up the dress. The seamstress arrived, and played with it, and ended up with something that the bride thought was ok, but still not what she wanted. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The situation at the moment is that the seamstress has taken the dress to work on, but I know my neice isnt happy with it and its not the look that she wants. And its not her being a bridezilla. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The question now is, do we stop the seamstress, and look for someone else who hopefully get the idea of what she wants and </span><span style="font-size: large;">get the look right? </span><span style="font-size: large;">O</span><span style="font-size: large;">r do we let the seamstress continue and she walks down the ailse in 8 days time in a dress that shes not totally happy with? We are at a loss as to what to advise her to do. The whole thing hasnt been a pleasant experience for her at all. Such a shame :(</span>Blue Button Bridehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13673189138136374128noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389010335408602026.post-86141747784077064862011-01-29T06:57:00.010+00:002011-01-29T08:56:25.720+00:00Blue Button Brides Birthday!<span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#3333ff;">Its Blue Button Brides Birthday! On 31.01.11,it will be one year since I opened my Folksy shop. When I started this, I was aware that it was never going to make me a millionaire, and I would probably still have to keep the day job (psychiatric nursing) until I retired. I was also aware that it may never take off at all, so I decided to give myself one year and after that would make a decision regarding whether to continue or not.<br /><br />What have I decided?<br /><br />The first few months, the shop got very few views, and no interest/enquiries at all. I almost considered giving up then. I would look around at the amazing amount of talent, and wonder how I could possibly compete with them. Then came my first order.<br /><br />Eva ordered my Tutti <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Frutti</span> Bouquet. The bouquet had been made up a few months before, so I took it apart, cleaned it all and put it back together. She looked so beautiful on her wedding day. </span></span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg5EfoYFvXJrC5Rmpywsw7TIcTXFa1Boqp_zhi_h2aeFTAb6GYDIk4VkPbyvO_c2f8SFBEdO9z04CVbHn9-5a_AjlqxwecH6FhfxyeTTDe-xw0xO7h3sd5KN3YXl5FawXOzYVM1nwn25A2/s1600/eva.bmp"></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg5EfoYFvXJrC5Rmpywsw7TIcTXFa1Boqp_zhi_h2aeFTAb6GYDIk4VkPbyvO_c2f8SFBEdO9z04CVbHn9-5a_AjlqxwecH6FhfxyeTTDe-xw0xO7h3sd5KN3YXl5FawXOzYVM1nwn25A2/s1600/eva.bmp"><p><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567502692641679986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg5EfoYFvXJrC5Rmpywsw7TIcTXFa1Boqp_zhi_h2aeFTAb6GYDIk4VkPbyvO_c2f8SFBEdO9z04CVbHn9-5a_AjlqxwecH6FhfxyeTTDe-xw0xO7h3sd5KN3YXl5FawXOzYVM1nwn25A2/s320/eva.bmp" border="0" /></span></a></p><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#3333ff;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Evas</span> order gave me the boost I needed to continue.

They need to fit with the theme of the wedding but the cost has to be right too. Folksy has some lovely wedding favours, and if you cant find anything that matches your colour theme, it may be worth sending an email to the seller who may be able to provide favours in your colours. The favours that Im featuring today are all £3.50 or under, per item.<br /><br /></span></div></span><center><br /><a href="http://www.folksy.com/items/633513-5-Love-Potions-Wedding-Favours"><span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"><img style="WIDTH: 160px; HEIGHT: 160px" border="0" alt="FairfieldGardens " src="http://d200fahol9mbkt.cloudfront.net/item/4145733/potions.jpg" /></span></a><span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"> </span><a href="http://www.folksy.com/items/648148-5-x-Sparkling-Bath-Powder-Wedding-Favour"><span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"><img style="WIDTH: 160px; HEIGHT: 160px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="FairfieldGardens " src="http://d200fahol9mbkt.cloudfront.net/item/4250422/love_powder.jpg" /></span></a><span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"><br /></span><a href="http://www.folksy.com/items/876681-Glass-Nugget-Daisy-Sun-Catcher"><span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"><img style="WIDTH: 160px; HEIGHT: 160px" border="0" alt="Diomo Glass " src="http://d200fahol9mbkt.cloudfront.net/item/6191409/IMG_6568.JPG" /></span></a><span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"> </span><a href="http://www.folksy.com/items/487921-Ice-Cream-Soap"><span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"><img style="WIDTH: 160px; HEIGHT: 160px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="Just Bev Angelic Soaps " src="http://d200fahol9mbkt.cloudfront.net/item/3323873/P4290068.JPG" /></span></a><span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"><br /></span><a href="http://www.folksy.com/items/742693-Childrens-Favours"><span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"><img style="WIDTH: 160px; HEIGHT: 160px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="Butterflies - Chocolate Favours " src="http://d200fahol9mbkt.cloudfront.net/item/4956289/255.JPG" /></span></a><span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"> </span><a href="http://www.folksy.com/items/786825-48-Wedding-votive-candles-in-glasses"><span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"><img style="WIDTH: 160px; HEIGHT: 160px" border="0" alt="One stop pamper shop " src="http://d200fahol9mbkt.cloudfront.net/item/5476105/wedding_candle.jpg" /></span></a><span style="color:#000099;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><br /></span></center></span><div align="center"><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;">1.

Occasionally I love a folksy designer so much that I am unable to pick just one item from their shop to feature. So the whole folksy friday is dedicated to that one shop. Today is one of those days. I have told this designer that I stalk her shop, and if I had the money, figure, and places to go, I would buy all of her stock. I adore her designs. Its a bit of a girl crush thing. :) So if you are looking for a winter coat, or a cocktail dress, for the christmas party season, you need to visit her shop.<br /><br />FASHION COUTURE<br /><br /></font><br /><br /><center><br /><a href="http://www.folksy.com/items/892977-Black-White-A-Line-Pleated-Cotton-Dolly-Mini-Cocktail-Dress?shop=yes"><font color="#000099" size="4"><img style="WIDTH: 160px; HEIGHT: 160px" border="0" alt="Fashion Couture " src="http://d200fahol9mbkt.cloudfront.net/item/6314529/33.jpg" /></font></a><font color="#000099" size="4"> </font><a href="http://www.folksy.com/items/861353-Brown-Coffee-Pure-Wool-Batwing-Cape-Poncho-Cloak-Coat?shop=yes"><font color="#000099" size="4"><img style="WIDTH: 160px; HEIGHT: 160px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="Fashion Couture " src="http://d200fahol9mbkt.cloudfront.net/item/6078493/DSCF5176.jpg" /></font></a><font color="#000099" size="4"><br /></font><a href="http://www.folksy.com/items/831881-Pink-White-Grey-Yellow-Blue-Red-Cashmere-Wool-Coat?shop=yes"><font color="#000099" size="4"><img style="WIDTH: 160px; HEIGHT: 160px" border="0" alt="Fashion Couture " src="http://d200fahol9mbkt.cloudfront.net/item/5841217/DSC_0737.jpg" /></font></a><font color="#000099" size="4"> </font><a href="http://www.folksy.com/items/801929-Floral-Jacquard-Cotton-Ruffles-Flounces-Little-Red-Dress?shop=yes"><font color="#000099" size="4"><img style="WIDTH: 160px; HEIGHT: 160px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt=" Fashion Couture " src="http://d200fahol9mbkt.cloudfront.net/item/5611549/DSCF7533.jpg" /></font></a><font color="#000099" size="4"><br /></font><a href="http://www.folksy.com/items/540397-Black-Red-White-Lip-Stick-Jungle-Cotton-Chiffon-Ruffles-Flowers-Sleeveless-Cocktail-Dress-?shop=yes"><font color="#000099" size="4"><img style="WIDTH: 160px; HEIGHT: 160px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="Fashion Couture " src="http://d200fahol9mbkt.cloudfront.net/item/3419117/DSC_0250.jpg" /></font></a><font color="#000099" size="4"> </font><a href="http://www.folksy.com/items/829541-Grey-Cashmere-Wool-Blended-Long-Victorian-Winter-Trench-Coat?shop=yes"><font color="#000099" size="4"><img style="WIDTH: 160px; HEIGHT: 160px" border="0" alt="Fashion Couture " src="http://d200fahol9mbkt.cloudfront.net/item/5822733/DSC_0061.jpg" /></font></a><font color="#000099" size="4"><br /></font></center><br /><br /><font color="#000099" size="4">Click on the photos to be taken to the shop.<br /></font><br /><font color="#000099" size="4">If Im being honest, I had trouble picking those 6 items, and could have done another 6 quite easily.<br />I apologise again, for doing a one designer Folksy Friday, I will try to stick to the rules for the next few months.:)</font> </div>Blue Button Bridehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13673189138136374128noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389010335408602026.post-10771324201559084242010-10-13T05:56:00.007+01:002010-10-15T17:32:02.240+01:00Folksy Friday - Table Centre Piece<span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;">This week we are looking at table centre pieces, doesnt have to be for a wedding, can be for any dinner party.
