Advertiser Spotlight - NOfkants Curios

Well I almost did it, three posts last week! I promise to write a Fabric Friday this week, already got somebody in mind.  Today I would like to introduce you to one of the winners of my monthly advertising giveaway. Drum roll please for NOfkants Curios.

As a child Natalie loved to collect fossils and still enjoys going fossil hunting with her own children. Many of her creations in her Folksy shop are designed using fossils, which makes each piece unique due to the different patterns every fossil provides.

Natalie  also loves knitting and crocheting and has a fantastic selection of hats, scarves, blankets and bags in her Folksy shop.

Like many Folksy sellers Natalie crafts as a hobby and her Folksy shop is an outlet for her numerous creations. Well we all know we can't keep everything, we need to make space for more materials!

Natalie also writes a great blog, that I read reguarly but am sorry Natalie that I am hopeless at leaving comments. 

So now the weather has turned decidedly chilly head on over to NOfkants Curios to treat yourself to a fabulous hand knitted hat or scarf and while you're there why not pick up a couple of Christmas presents too, I know my boys would love those fossil keyrings.

Sponsor Spotlight - Country Touches

Today I would like to introduce you to my sponsor Country Touches.

Country Touches are an independant business based in North Wales selling gorgeous homewares and soft furnishings via their website.

There is a wonderful choice of products that would look great in a country or shabby chic inspired home.

Many of the items would also make a fabulous gift, whether for a housewarming present, birthday gift or wrapped under the tree at Christmas.

The most appealing thing about Country Touches is the fact that they try and source products from designers and manufacturers in the UK.  They have a section for all the items that are handmade in the UK, including Charlotte Macey Textiles, whom I have featured before.

So why not make a cup of tea and have a browse as I promise you won't be disappointed.
