Folksy Friday -Floral Finds

Happy Friday everyone!  Got that Friday feeling yet?

Blogger was being all peculiar for me last week so have dipped my toes back into the dashboard today and all seems to be well so here's my latest Folksy Friday!  (Thanks to Sydney on my Facebook Fan Page for the theme choice today, I was all out of ideas...)

So in homage to me hopefully de-weeding the garden and planting lots of lovely flowers in pots if my hay fever will permit, here's some of my favourite floral picks from the talented bunch on Folksy!

Folksy Friday - Devonshire Delights

Right, now I'm getting back into the swing of blogging... back to doing my Folksy Fridays again!

For those not in the know a 'Folksy Friday' is a weekly selection of items found on the UK handmade sellers website Folksy which usually pops up in sellers blogs, Facebook pages etc to showcase some favourite items from other sellers in line with a theme, colour scheme, occasion and so on.  If you sell on Folksy there is a little feature on the basics of how to make your own on the Folksy blog and the all important (and highly acclaimed!) Haptree Mini Treasury Template which helps us bloggers make sense of the html stuff needed to make one!

Anyhooooo.... I thought I'd get some inspiration from a little closer to home this week and find some picks local to me in sunny ol' Devon. Enjoy!
