A pair of pink sleepie hair clips (45mm long)decorated with pink felt flowers with a bead centre and a green leaf. The flowers are firmly sewn onto the clips by hand. These beautiful hair clips come in a pink organza gift bag. A perfect present for a flower-loving girl!

Here's a way to wear spring flowers in your hair all year long. I took photos of all the spring flowers in my garden last year. I love these zingy yellow dandelions (so hard to think of them as just weeds!). They're printed onto poplin and then made into fabric buttons and firmly glued onto hair grips. The buttons measure 22mm in diameter and the silver-tone grips are 50mm long. Each pair of hair grips comes in an organza bag, all ready to give to a flower-loving girl. This listing is for one pair of hair grips. The third photograph in the listing shows the dandelion flower hair grips with dandelion clock hair grips - a perfect pairing! Please see separate listing for the dandelion clocks. If you would like one of each style (i.e. one dandelion flower grip and one dandelion clock grip) please let me know and I will set up a separate listing for you. nickyp Fri, 18 Nov 2011 16:36:03 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/2595921 http://folksy.com/items/2595921 Dandelion hair grips A deliciously soft midnight blue fleece hot water bottle cover appliqued with a red felt rocket speeding through the night sky.

When my boys were little they seemed to spend the whole time wearing rather grubby, once white terry bibs and I never even questioned it. Given that time over again, they would definitely wear something more fun (and as my canny sister points out, "less likely to show the mess"). Here's a beautiful deep, deep, midnight blue polka dot cotton bib with a red and white spotty skull and crossbones appliquéd on it. Any aspiring pirate would be proud to wear this. You may be force-feeding him yucky green stuff, but at least he'll look cool while you're doing it. Style and practicality in the one package! The bib is backed with strokingly soft red fleece (which wicks moisture away from delicate skin) and fastens with a large red popper. The design of the bib is extra wide on the shoulders, so when your child looks round to make sure they're not missing out on any action, they don't end up with yoghurty shoulders (I have a LOT of experience of this!). It measures approx 26 cm wide and 32 cm long. The bib is fully washable, but the front would benefit from ironing afterwards to keep it smooth. nickyp Fri, 30 Sep 2011 15:33:40 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/2359301 http://folksy.com/items/2359301 Pirate spotty bib Time for party tea! What a great way to feel in the tea party mood all the time. Nine delicious felt and fabric fairy cakes with shiny button cherries dangling gently from palest pink grosgrain ribbon attached to just over 2 metres of pink cotton tape. Just imagine this tea party on the walls of a girl's bedroom or playroom, or just put it up any time you're in the mood for a tea party - the pretty colours and the shiniest of buttons will cheer up any space. To give you a sense of scale, each cake measures approximately 11.5 cm by 12 cm. This is for decorative purposes only and is not a toy. Please note that every set of bunting is handmade and buttons may therefore vary slightly from the picture shown. Please contact me if you would like this bunting in different colours or lengths. nickyp Sat, 17 Sep 2011 09:57:21 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/2302905 http://folksy.com/items/2302905 Fairy cake bunting pink/blue Time for party tea!
