Classic Cars: Fiat 500 in Liguria, Italy

I'm loving being in Italy! Vintage Fiat 500 in Liguria

This is one of my all time favourite classic cars. How can you not love it?!

In the background trombette are growing. They are a type of very long courgette (zucchini). Great roasted says my mother-in-law.

Further in the distance you can see the Alps where they come down south to meet the Mediterranean sea.

This is part of my photography project: Classic Cars. I now carry my camera wherever I go and I will collect pictures of vintage cars that I see while out and about. They just make me happy.

Silk Knitted Lace Fascinator Hat.

Finally I've got round to sorting out this post!  It's the tah dah for the silk lace fascinator hat I've been working on for ages... It's finished and has gone to live with its new owner.

I have noted the several stages of this rather long project. You can find out more about the lace stages, here I started the lace (first time I ever knit lace!) and there's also an update on knitting the lace where you can also see the hat base more clearly.

I used a hat base and elastic head band that I ordered from Squirlgirl on Etsy. After blocking the lace (worked a treat, the leaves settled beautifully clear) I assembled the little hat. It was finished off with a nice felt lining (embroidered with my initials!).

For more info check out the project on Ravelry.

Etsy Stock Take - Week Twenty-six - Best of June

Etsy Stock Take - Week Twenty-six - Best of June - Sunday Linky Party

Not done any crafting this week... Shocking...! ;) But I did wear my creations to a wedding party yesterday, a fascinator hat and a clutch handbag. More on those to come soon!

I have a question: Etsy people, would you like me to send you an email to let you know that the Esty Stock Take is live each week? I noticed a lot of bloggers do that, but I'm not sure if it would be a helpful reminder for you or just another spam email? Let me know in the comments section!

Don't forget to link up as usual below.

And so, on to the important stuff, my personal favourites from the month of June...

Week Twenty-two:

Wedding Bouquet at PetalGem

Week Twenty-three:

Head Scarf at Freya Moon

Week Twenty-Four:

Swan Ring from TheSilverCrucible

Week Twenty-five:

Baby Crochet Crown at GreenFoxFarms

Shoppers of handmade stuff:

Scroll down for some more beautiful products made by some of my readers. Please visit their shops on Etsy and consider buying something! You'll be glad you did :)

I will list each week's stock take on my Etsy Stock Take page. Please go and have a browse... Also each month I will feature a round up of my favourite items.

Etsy Sellers:

Link up your items to get more exposure for your shop. Linking up means that you agree to me using your images here (you might be featured in the next Best of the Month feature), on Pinterest and Twitter in order to promote the Etsy Stock Take (and by extension your item, the pictures will ALWAYS be referenced).

:)

You have 2 options:

1. Bloggers:

Write a new post on your blog (telling us about your new items), mention the Etsy Stock Take and link back here so your readers get a chance to find the link up list (or add the button above).

Then link up using the Linky widget (where it says 'click here to enter') at the bottom of this post. Then we can find your blog :)

2. Link up directly to your Etsy shop:  
Post a link that goes directly to your new items in Etsy using the Linky widget (where it says 'click here to enter') at the bottom of this post. You can put up as many as you want and we will see your images nice and big :)


It'd be lovely if you took a moment to go and check out some stuff that others post below - go shopping!

It seems that there have been some difficulties with the Linky widget. If you have problems, please let me know and I will give you a hand (my email).

Let's show our support for each other craftwise! I'm hoping that my goal of listing one item a week will be a powerful motivator and a source of exposure for us all.


Ciao!

Katz :)
