Baby, It's Cold Outside!

So winter has drawn in and thoughts turn to warm woollens and cosy evenings beside the fireplace. Here at Randomly Hall the staff are busy gathering in the holly, ivy and mistletoe for the wreaths. As ever, fingers will be scratched and someone will discover a serious allergy to ivy, but one does have a duty to the expectations of visiting guests. Of course, I would do it myself but one is kept so busy with the local W.I.

Speaking of the dear ladies of the W.I., one of my favourite past-times is championing the world of Great British art and craft. My many duties throughout the year include judging the wonderful homemade items at the annual village fayre and after dinner speaking at various locations. My current favourite subject, incidentally, is 'Primark Lingerie - Saviour of the Working Class Woman or a Slippery Slope to Sagginess?'

With all this mind, I would like to whet your appetite for a warm yet stylish winter by presenting you with a selection of excellent items by some very clever and talented crafters and designers and all available at one's favourite 'handmade' website, Folksy.com. Do make a nice cup of tea and enjoy; a simple click on the item title will take you to the shop page:

















So until next time, stay safe and warm, my darlings - and if you are heading out to the shops, do wear a good pair of shoes and sharpen those elbows!

Yours,
Lady R x

Thank you so much for including my cowl in your collection :)
I love that rainbow tank top and the ceramic candle holders! Very inspirational for Christmas time.
