More Etsy Goodies

           I have still been so busy sorting through all of my stuff (my house will soon be half empty.) I can't believe it's February already. The quicker this year goes the better, and we will be even closer to our move to England.

    Even though I have been clearing out very large amounts I haven't stopped buying completely. Etsy continues to tempt me!

      Of course I continue to add to my Miss Bumbles collection (I now have over 90!)

        Another shop I love is Boopsie Daisy. And I thought I would share with you the four dolls I have from this shop.

My very first doll was a custom made black cat called Pawlie.

Next I was luck enough to grab Gimmick from the 2012 Halloween range.

This custom made doll is based on my cat, Ruby and her love of Malteser sweets. 

I snapped up Drippy the gingerbread girl at the same time as Ruby.

    I have yet to take pictures of all my dolls. All pictures belong to Boopsie Daisy, find her Etsy shop here.

      Although I can't start another large collection, I do have a few more dolls on my wishlist.  I'd love a Marie Antoinette doll, an all white witch like a previous Halloween doll and a little French girl. I'm sure there will be more to come this year!

Amazing Anthropomorphic Malteser

               As I've mentioned before I collect all sorts of items related to Maltesers sweets. I even have a pair of Maltesers pants!
     The latest piece that I've added to my collection is a custom piece from Etsy shop Spun On Cotton. Because I love anthropomorphic food so much I thought it was only right to have an anthropomorphic Malteser in my collection.
       I have always wanted to be able to draw (still do) but I cannot draw to save myself! So I don't normally send doodles when requesting custom items. But this time I did.

Very dodgy Malteser doodle!

       Sara managed to turn this doodle into such an amazing piece. She is so much better than I imagined, I love her!

She is called Super Shopper Sally Whopper (Maltesers are called Whoppers in America). Her little paper shopping bags are so cute. And she was ready so quickly too. She will be making the journey to my house along with a very sweet anthro pear.

         If you are looking for a quirky gift this Christmas, I highly recommend this shop. The service is great and the pieces are fantastic. Click here to visit Spun On Cotton.

Needle Felted Delights

I hope you all had a good Easter (and ate plenty chocolate!) I have not had much time to blog lately, I am still busy going through my things and listing some bits on ebay. I have been doing well on my mission to save money.
     Don't get me wrong, I haven't been a total angel. There have been a few temptations that I have given into...
       One of these purchases was from one of my favourite Etsy shops, Miss Bumbles. I have quite a few of her wonderful creations and this time I asked for a custom order. 
     I wanted a little version of my cat Ruby. She loves Maltesers, they are one of her favourite things in the world. No she doesn't eat them, I will explain all in another post. I wanted her to be juggling Maltesers. She is also wearing a Malteser themed dress, red the colour of the packet, brown polka dots to represent the sweets themselves and a white ribbon around her waist to represent the colour of the font on the packet.
       The finished result was even better than I had imagined and when the pictures came through I was so excited.

Pictures belong to Miss Bumbles. You can find her Etsy shop here.

     I loved the little touches that Miss Bumbles added to the piece, the little collar. But especially the little tongue sticking out, I thought that was genius. It captures Ruby's cheeky personality completely.

     I was also tempted by another piece in the form of this cute little nanny goat kid. And she made the journey to my house along with the little Ruby Replica.

        Not only do you get gorgeous items from this shop, the service is great too. The lady behind the shop is really nice and helpful. She was very patient and answered all of my questions throughout the custom order process.

     To anyone who has been thinking of buying from this shop, I can't recommend it highly enough. I am already thinking about another custom order.
