Folksy Handmade - Shapes

I was trying to think of a theme for this week's Folksy Friday, as I've been doing gift idea lists. I started off with a funky brights train of thought. Then I came across a couple of items that the patterns gave me the new idea of shapes. All these items have designs made with shapes, and a lot of them are bright and colourful too, so still fit my funky brights original idea. These would make great gifts for anyone that likes lots of colour, or clean, retro design. Like me. : )

As always, click on the pic to visit the shops for more details and pictures.

Judging by some of the new items I've seen in high street shops, it looks like the one of the on-trend patterns for the summer is going to be Paisley. (And just to prove a point, Stella McCartney launches her Olympic kit yesterday wearing a paisley blouse and trouser combo.) So for this week's Folksy Friday I had a hunt around for as many different types of crafts using this pattern as I could. Ok, I included two brass cuff bracelets, but that's because they were both so nice I didn't want to drop either of them. I still can't get the pictures to stay where I want them when I try to add a link to them, so there's another link menu at the bottom of the gallery. And you can also see some of the items on my ongoing Pinterest Folksy Friday feature board here -
