Treasury Tuesday....Leicester lovelies

This week's theme for Treasury Tuesday set by Abby was 'Local to you' which was a perfect one for me. If I am buying handmade then I love nothing more than to buy something as local to me as possible. If I am browsing Etsy I nearly always search for UK only. I am not sure whether this goes back to years ago when I was quite 'into' the UK craft scene and the good crafters needed as much help as they can get. There is also something about the local craft fair about it. Some of the things are good, some are bad but usually they are all made with love.

So, here is my treasury this week, my Leicester lovelies...

My favourite this week has to be the embroidered envelope (top left) by lucykatecrafts which can be personalised in colour and message. Perfect.


PS. And yes there is an elephant that has creeped in!

  1. I agree, buying local {on etsy, or whenever possible} is something I try to do as well. Great choices this week, makes me feel proud of the East Midlands! I love the maple seed print and the dominoes - in fact, her whole vintage shop! x

  2. There seems to be a colour theme in yours -- like an aqua blue! I love it! And I need that leather clutch. Orange is my favourite colour.

  3. That limited edition print is beautiful, in fact all the selections are really lovely.
