What Have You Made?

Over on Folksy, Trampmillinery has been making these fluffy delights with some vintage plastic stackable flowers.  She also has more traditional hats including some absolutely gorgeous Cloches.

I'm sure I will be featuring more of her wonderful headbands soon :)
 Be sure to let me know if you have made anything using Betty's Place supplies so I can feature you too.

Folksy Friday

I have this hidden desire to draw and illustrate however nothing ever turns out as good as I see it in my head.  So this weeks Folksy Friday picks are a little nod to all those absolutely brilliant illustrators. ( I found this hard to choose so look out in the near future for Illustrators part deux)

Chickens

So, I wanted to blog today but my brain isn't working so well.  I ask my tweeples on Twitter what I should blog about and to be honest the response was kinda slim. But anyways, I did get some replies and of those I have chosen Chickens.

Cheeky Chicken by Swirly Arts

What do I like about chickens apart from that they are finger licking good?  Mmmmm, well they are funny looking...and although they have wings they can't fly!!  Bizarre

Chickens by Covetables

They give us yummy eggs to eat.  What's your favourite way to eat eggs?  Mine is Cake.

Chicken Noodle by Hilary Upton

I love being woken up at 4am by my neighbour's cockrel.......I'm being sarcastic!

 

Wooden Chickens by Half An Acre

But most of all I like them because they inspire people to make beautiful things like the ones above.  So thank you Mr & Mrs Chicken for being there.

Folksy Friday

Betty's Place is joining the Folksy Friday Revolution!  My picks this week are a little thank you to my sister for designing my banners and avatars and business cards for my new venture.  This is one of her favourite things.

Butterflies

So flutter over to these shops for a closer look.

Blogtastic!

I just wanted to give you all a little heads up. I have learned a huge amount of blogging skills from one lovely lady who dishes out her wisdom for free. She is called Hillary and she runs 2 fantastic blogs called Haptree And Me and Craft Blog UK.

If ever you want to learn some new trick for your blog or you want to make it look nicer that should be your first port of call. Everything is laid out in simple to understand instructions.

So click above or below to start learning from her.

And if you are not looking to improve your blogs just go and have a look around hers anyway, they are both lovely. If you have a craft blog and you have not yet joined Craft Blog UK then what are you waiting for? Move it!

Introductions

Hi there, my names Chantal and I run Betty's Place, Hotdog and Me and Here Pretty Kitty.

I started up Betty's Place to indulge my love of vintage and kitsch beads and charms. Every time I open a delivery I am like a kid at Christmas!

I have opened up a shop on Folksy and one on Misi too......I know! I am a glutton for punishment.

This is a sneaky peek at my Misi shop.

Keep checking my shops as new stock will be arriving all the time. As lots of my items are vintage they are in limited supply.

You can hear me whitter on Twitter....see what I did there?

And you can even fan me on Facebook, I would be much obliged :)

And I guess you might be wondering why Betty's Place when I am called Chantal, well it's in honour of my beautiful and talented nanny.

So I bid you farewell and hope to see you soon.

My New Shop

This is the first post in my new blog for Betty's Place. I have just opened up a shop on Folksy and on Misi.
