Hey Baby, I'm Back.....Again

Haha, I'm back again my lovelies.  And in my return I bring you a beautiful array of vintage beads.  Today I listed a few in my Etsy shop and i will be listing more over the next few days so make sure you keep checking as there are some beautiful ones to come.

Above are a few of my new listings but there are more to come.  It would be ace if you could pop over to my shop and let me know what you think.

 All of these beautiful beads date from the 1920's up to the 1950's.

I have loads and loads more to list, I just need some sunny weather to come our way so that I can photograph them to show off their gorgeousness......and if nothing else it would be great to have the nice weather as I'm feeling a bit on the chilly side....come on sun!!

Vintage Beads

These little beauties have been listed in my Folksy Shop today.  These are the very last packs of these gorgeous vintage flower beads from the 1950's.  Once these beads have gone from my shop that's it, I am highly unlikely to find anymore!

Vintage Flower Beads Now In My Shop

Almost there!

Well, the 30 day journal challenge has finished now but I still have 1 more page to catch up on!

Here's a little look see at some of my previous pages!



I have had a blast doing this challenge!

Just to let you know as well that the vintage buttons I gave you a sneak preview off are all in my shop now so dash along quickly before they all get snapped up!!

Also, these super cute metal buttons went in the shop today so if you are an Owl and a Vintage lover than these are perfect for you!



That's all for now folks except for me to wish you all a happy and creative weekend!

A New Home

I am very excited, we have a new home!

Check it out... www.bettysplaceiscool.co.uk and let me know what you think!

You can still find my shop on Folksy and on Misi but this is now my main hub. I have combined all 3 of my shops on here so you can find vintage beads and charms, vintage buttons and Hotdog And Me sock puppy's all under one roof. Although I will be keeping my other shops open there will be much more on offer at www.bettysplaceiscool.co.uk

There is a Link Love page so if you would like a small ad for your shop or blog just email me a rectangle picture and your url to mail@bettysplaceiscool.co.uk and we will include you. Of course if any of you want to put a link to Betty's Place on your websites then we would be over the moon too.

And lastly, if you have made anything using items bought from Betty's Place then please contact me we would love to include you in the Makers Gallery with a Link to your shop.

My Futile Attempts

You may or may not know that I am in the (very slow) process of setting up my own website. I bought a web building package all gungho like and then set about messing around with it. I didn't have any clear plans at the time and so it just looks messy. I have now changed all my original thoughts on it and have the beginnings of something exciting.

I thought I would share some of my first ideas with you just to show you my poor attempts at making web buttons for the shop. This idea has now been scraped so feel free to have a laugh riot, I promise I won't cry........much....no honestly I won't :)

Don't worry, these will not be making an appearance in the new shop!

ONE DAY SALE

I'm having a ONE DAY SALE today. 25 % off item price, get in there quick!! It's for today only!!

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.
