Be My Handmade Valentine

Valentines day was not far away and Ferrit had spent her Sunday afternoon setting up a themed window display at Salvage vintage textiles store.

Ferrit wanted all those romantics to know that if they were on the hunt for a special Valentines gift, whether for a husband, wife, lover, girlfriend, boyfriend, secret crush or maybe even their cat, something a little different could be found at Salvage, 537 Mt Eden Rd.

Either half a dozen handmade red roses

or a single one......

Each of Ferrit's roses had been lovingly hand crafted and she hoped they would bring good Valentines fortunes to all.

Roses are Red

Ferrit had been making dozens of red roses for Valentines day and she was almost ready to set them up in the window at Salvage

She remembered the little poem from when she was little

Roses are red

Violets are blue

Sugar is sweet

and so are you

With Tattoos in Mind

Ferrit stumbled across the intriguing work of Cheri Lewis, and especially enjoyed the tattooed man and woman brooches.

...What a lovely couple she thought to herself

Craft 'n' Romance

Ferrit knew she had a busy week ahead of her with lots of crafting to do. Valentines day was fast approaching and she was lucky enough to be doing a window display for the lovely Kay and her beautiful shop Salvage in Mt Eden.

Ferrit had been thinking about Valentines day and spotted some things from around her home that made her think of love and companionship.

How lovely

Ferrit had spent some her night browsing on the internet and stumbled across this cute little postcard by Heidi Burton

Ferrit was an old romantic at heart and this made her smile

A time in stitch

Ferrit had been looking through some of her new things that she had collected over Xmas time. One of her favourties was her knitted watch called "Watchy" which she brought off Esther from Toogle at the Xmas Kraftbomb.

....Oh how Ferrit loved her Watchy..........

A New Year

Ferrit had just arrived back from her holiday, she'd spent a couple of weeks staying at the beach, soaking up the fresh ocean air. She loved seeing her old friends and spending time with her family.

Ferrit wondered what the year would bring and hoped it would be plenty of craftyness
