​*Give away time*
As a thank you for your support I want to give you the chance to win this 'cup of tie'- took us ages to think that one up! I have combined a vintage tea cup with three of my silk tie roses. The leaves have been made form a felted wool jumper.
All you have to do is like and share this post and if you don't already 'like' my page.
I will choose a winner at random on 09.00 Sunday 8th July 2018.
This giveaway has nothing to do with facebook, its just me wanting to say thanks for all the page likes''. x

I would love to see you at 81 High Street Glossop today for this free work shop. If you came along I would love to hear  if Dad liked his unique present.
 
If you enjoyed your mini workshop, remember I can create one for any celebration or event. Already in the diary are events with the Women's Institute, could yours be next?
See more of my makes on the 17th June in Marple or in Buxton at Eco Republic, Authentic in Upper Mill or on Folksey.
