Folksy Friday. It's nearly time for fireworks!!


Happy Halloween everyone hope you liked my folksy finds last week for Halloween if you didn't see them then you can read here. This week I turn my attention to one of my favourite nights of the year, Bonfire night.
Remember, remember the 5th November.
I'm going to be going to the Hexham bonfire, one of my favourites in the area. I just love how if you stand at the bottom of the field, while your waiting every so often someone will shine a torch over the crowds standing on the hill (no doubt looking for lost relatives) it's then that you discover out of the dark just how many people go to this bonfire.  Also even though I'm nearly 28 now I still like to have those glow sticks you can bend into a necklace. It's childish but I don't care, bonfire night is about having a bit of fun in the gloomy months of winter!
My finds this week are inspired by the fireworks themselves and I've tried to find pieces that burst with colour.

My first find was a brooch that had a burst pattern on it like when the fireworks have gone off and are just starting to fade and tumble down to earth again. It's called Handmade brooch acrylic and resin spark and its by Couture Silver and Silk who make some beautiful pieces of silver jewellery.
This next piece is by Spindlework Patchwork and Quilting and is a wall-hanging called wall-hanging Fireworks. It has a quilted purple sky and bursts with colourful fireworks of sequins and fine thread.
 
Next up is a case fro use with a iPad 2, iPad air and Galaxy tab called Fireworks.  The colours in this item just pop boldly from the black cotton. This item is by a shop called Belle Borsetta who have some equally funky and cool looking bags and purses.
 The next item is something different for Folksy Friday, a dress. This handmade dress looks to me like when you get to the finally of the fireworks display and there is so much happening, thee banging and whirling and swirling everyway for the last hooray.  
The dress is called Handmade Woman's Vintage Style dress. It is a empire style bodice with a midi length skirt and comes in size 10.
The piece is by Dreaming of Avonlea who have many other vintage inspired dresses in their shop.
 
 
The last item, isn't technically any sort of a firework but these necklace with there starburst dried flowers in resin still have the resemblance of a firework. There called Flower firework and are by a shop called Phoenixxxcharms.
