Locketz With Love
We love Amber's online store full of cute little home decor and jewellery pieces! Our top picks are: the Hanging Owl Tealight Holder (£7.45) and the cute Pirates Of The Caribbean Keyring (£3.45)
Here's a little introduction to Locketz With Love from Amber herself...
"I have always been artistic from a very young age but I first started Locketz with Love when I was around 13 making jewellery as a hobby and to make some pocket money. As the years went on, Locketz with Love grew and became more refined, now selling handmade gifts, bags, jewellery, interiors and accessories. My background in marketing and design helped to develop Locketz with Love into what it is today and now I am successfully launching whole collections of handmade work to go on my very own website.
I am a lover of all things crafty and artistic and at first found it difficult to narrow my focus down to a particular group of products. In my studio (aka garage) in Great Dunmow, you can find all sorts of treasures however my ultimate love is fabric and beads which is reflected in the work I do for Locketz with Love."

Hugs Are Fun
We love Rebecca's blog on all things crafty as well as her cute and quirky modern cross stitch patterns available on Etsy! Our top picks are: the Vintage Camera Cross Stitch Pattern ($5) and pretty Oval Bamboo Embroidered Pendant Necklace ($35)
Here's a little bit more information from Rebecca...
"Hugs are Fun was born from a desire to create new and modern cross stitch designs and has expanded from there! I still sell cross stitch patterns but I have also turned my focus to other crafts, lately embroidery and English paper pieced quilting are my favorites!
I blog about all the different projects I experiment with and occasionally share free cross stitch patterns and tutorials!
If I'm sitting then I'm probably stitching something, so I figured I might as well share what I make!"

We love Anjali's real mix of posts, our top picks are: her Auckland Adventures series and her amazing selection of Nail Art Posts
Here's a snippet of what you can expect to find over on Anjali's blog...
"I'm Anjali and I blog at From L&P to English Tea (And Back Again). I started blogging when I moved from New Zealand to England, but have kept up with and fallen in love with it ever since. While I'm back home in NZ now, I still blog, and I'm still loving it. You can usually find me posting about books, movies, travel (near and far!), DIY, photography and my rather large Harry Potter obsession."
