That's a line from an old Suzanne Vega song (Freezetag) which I have always loved (and recently rediscovered thanks to finding her first album on cassette in a charidee shop recently). It's also the inspiration for my Folksy Upcycled Christmas competition entry which is being run to raise money for the
Sue Ryder Care Charity. All the entries will be put in an auction to run from 7th - 13th December and all proceeds will go to this worthy cause. I'll post a link to the auction nearer the date.
Made using entirely recycled and vintage glasses, the design has echoes of 1970s children's book illustrations, and a rather large nod towards these playing cards which I blogged about before.
Have a look at it over at
Folksy to find out more about how I made it.
[Cue grovelly last line of post...] If you're a Folksy member, I'd love it if you favourited it!
She's lovely and jaunty! May she win.

ReplyDeleteLove it Flora. The colours and the little girl remind me a bit of my Kickcan and Conkers avatar. Will be blogging about this.
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous! Love the contrast of the grey wintry sky and her pretty colourful winter clothes and she's got such a sweet little face-it's a fabulous piece Flora and it deserves to win!!
ReplyDeleteAh, Debs, you got me there...I think her skirt may well have been inspired by your little girl - as you know I love your avatar! As for the colours...you may have noticed I'm having a bit of a red and blue moment!
ReplyDeleteElaine - skills swap sounds like a great idea. We must hatch a plan once christmas is out the way.
