Coastal Doorstop For Handmade Monday


Its felt like a busy week although when i look back i'm not quite sure what i've done... ever have weeks like that?

Happily though i did find a gap in my hectic schedule of busy non-achievement to add to my range of coastal decor items... As always, i look forward to reading your comments :)


Coastal Doorstop


As with the lavender fish i showed you last week, this doorstop features two of the fabrics from my On The Open Ocean collection (which are now available from my Spoonflower shop).


I could have used just one but i quite like the mix and match patchwork effect... what do you think?



Its 20cms in height (excluding the handle) and features a velcro sealed opening at the top for easy filling with dried grain or beans - about 1.3kg should do it.


I've toyed with other designs but i like the simplicity and user friendliness of this one. No mess or complicated filling instructions and when it needs a wash the filling can easiliy be decanted into another container.

I should have it listed on my website, Etsy shop and other outlets by tomorrow, priced £12. I'm going to get some more made up with other fabrics too so it will be interesting to hear if you think the design needs tweeking first...?


In Other News... A Curious Kitty

Before i sign off for this week i just have to show you this adorable kitten - spotted in a farmyard whilst out walking this week.


Mum and the two other kittens stayed back but this little one was bold as brass!



The dog's eyes were popping out on stalks! :)


Of course since then i've been subtly (ok, perhaps not so subtly) suggesting to the other half that its time for us to get little kitten :) no luck so far though...

What kind of a week have you had? I look forward to popping over to Handmade Harbour to find out... Thanks for stopping by! x

Showcase Saturday (18) Featuring Etsy Treasuries And Their Curators Too!

Happy Saturday folks! The sun is shining in my part of the world :) how about you? As always i have three beautifully curated collections of handcrafted loveliness from Etsy to share with you today - incase this is your first visit to my blog, here's how it works - there is a different theme each week and an item from each of the curator's Etsy shops is featured too!

You are more than welcome to submit a treasury for consideration for next week's showcase (details on how at the end of today's post). Now though, its time to get your flippers on because we're heading for...

Thank you for taking a trip on the ocean waves with me today :) Everything is clickable (should you feel like taking a treasure home with you!)

The theme of next week's showcase will be "Back To School" if you have a treasury you're proud of that fits in with this theme, send me a link via Etsy convo and it could be your shop that gets featured alongside your lovely treasury next Saturday!

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend! x
