Lollishops and Gingerbread Challenge!

A very SWEET idea from Sadie ( our Lollishop Chief ) to announce a challenge among all Lollishop vendors..we are to make a Gingerbread House out of any kind of material.. then give some sneak peeks and December 1st..everyone who participated will list their Handmade Gingerbread house on Lollishops..now these can be made out of any kind of un-edible material...did I mention that.. yes un-edible so they will be for sale on our shops and also winners will be picked from the Gingerbread Houses that have been made! How much fun is this!!

Here are some sneak peeks from My Handmade Gingerbread House. Hugs, Linda

On another note... great news.. I have been accepted to be a vendor for a new shop coming and I am sure it is going to be the sweetest shop yet... http://www.lollishops.com/ I am very excited about it and it should be opening up sometime at the end of this year probably right before Christmas so there will be loads of sugar plums coming in all shapes and sizes!! So back to creating and back to blogging for me.. I have missed all my friends here in blogland!! Hugs, Folksie Linda

Hello Everyone, I have been playing with chenille lately as I can lay down as I fool with it and been having quite a bit of fun with it! I thought I would make some ornaments for the CSST Christmas In July Celebration at Etsy on July 25th! That day all of the shops that belong to The Cottage Style Street Team put on a show and purchase of Handmade Christmas Items..it is sure to please everyone and have a lot of fun!! Here is a picture of a little French Poodle I made last night.. She is a repro of the Vintage Gigi Poodles- googly eyes and all! Hope everyone likes her! Hugs, Folksie Linda
