I'm having a give away

As we're quickly moving into Autumn, I figured now is the time to have a give-away.

I'm offering 1 free hat, the winner, who can choose any colour/shade from my stock of hats http://www.etsy.com/shop/ileaiye?section_id=5207899(this excludes the ltd edition hats - the ones where I have marked on my listing only 1 or 2 or 3 left.

Otherwise the rest of the colour range is up for grabs.

To enter, you just need to 'comment' on this post with your name, your choice of colour, and 'follow' my blog.

I'll be drawing the names from a 'HAT' sometime in the afternoon of Friday 27th August

Good luck...

Yep sadly these are the last ones with this lovely dusky pink frill. I have another shade of pink, but it's a brighter pink, not quite so subtle.

Don't you just wish you knew more men that wore cuff links

I so wish I had a shirt that needed cufflinks, I think my favourites are the on/off switch.

How nice

I featured this seller on my blog a few months ago cause I just loved that she was recycling skate boards, to make jewellery, earing, bangles, necklaces etc. what a great gift for teenagers, and in my case for boys in their forties who still love to skate. Today I noticed Etsy have her as their Featured Seller. you can read more here http://www.etsy.com/storque/spotlight/featured-seller-sevenply-9585/

These are about to head off to the post office, so i took a quick picture before they depart, and for those regular visitors to my blog, remember that leather jacket which was inundated with tassels, yes this is the jacket, tassel-less.

New Purple hat

Arrgghh you can't really see in these images just how purple this hat is, but it's so purple it was making my mouth water whilst knitting it, you know it reminds me of the purple wrapped sweet in the quality street tins http://www.ciao.co.uk/product_media_view.php?ProductId=5182100&MediaType=Image&MediaId=62801814

or some black current chewits. http://www.sweetieworld.co.uk/chews/box_of_blackcurrant_chewits/

OMG and now these links to sweets, are not helping.
