New!! Introducing our new pink daisyfleur dress bags!!

I would like to introduce our new daisyfleur dress bags. They are pink, of course, and each bag is decorated with attractive motifs or trimming. All our dresses are now packed in these complimentary drawstring bags, which can be used to store all sorts of things such as shoes, ribbons or baby items.

Here are some photos of us packing dresses into these useful bags!!

Buttons, Haberdashery, Trims - these are a few of our favourite things.....

I don't know if we've mentioned to you how much we love buttons before but we are both avid collectors.  When I was a girl, I loved going through mum's button tin and matching together pairs or sorting buttons into groups by colour or style.  The noise of the button tin when I shook it was the initial excitement followed by many happy hours spent playing with the delights inside.  
As I got a little older, we used to use the buttons as currency whilst playing the card game "Black Widow" (also known as Black Maria) and my brother loved the big clumsy dark coat buttons whilst I strove to enhance my collection of 'loot' with tiny  pretty brightly coloured buttons and those spares I remembered from dresses I wore as a little girl handmade by mum.

We've recently found the most wonderful shop on etsy Overspill and I wanted to share a few of their lovely delights with you today.  I can guarantee they will soon be receiving a purchase from Daisyfleur......

Autumn Cooking & sewing

Although we've had some lovely sunny days here in the UK, you can really feel the Autumn chill in the early morning & evening air.  I've noticed I'm starting to crave soups instead of salads and to celebrate some seasonal produce fresh from my Dad's garden I made some Butternut Squash soup & a Blackberry Crumble at the weekend.  Delicious!

At daisyfleur, we've been embracing the change of season by introducing some new dresses in richer autumn tones like our pretty deep blue liberty dress & burnt orange jumper pictured here.  Perfect to layer over a cream sweater, woolly tights or leggings.

Blog Interview & Funky bags!

Today I wanted to share with you our interview on a wonderful blog by our etsy friend Funky Diva Designs.  We're so excited to be featured!  Please read our interview here & be sure to have a look at Funky Divas Shop whilst you're visiting.  She has some beautiful bags & purses made from gorgeous fabrics.  I've featured some below!

anne of green gables

Anne is one of our favourite literary heroines so are delighted and honoured to see we have been included in a treasury inspired by her.  We share a love of puffed sleeves with Anne and definitely cite her as one of our inspirations.  Please click here to see the treasury in its original form if you would like to comment.

And I'd like to finish with one of my favourite Anne quotes:

"Marilla, isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?"

Scented sachets of love

As promised here are some images of some of the projects we are working on using our organic Lincolnshire lavender. We started with some lavender hearts which I call scented satchets of love but this title could equally apply to the sweet little lavender bags we are making as these are perfect little gifts for friends, family or someone you love.
These would also be a perfect sleep aid for anyone you know who has trouble sleeping.  We feel wonderfully calm after a scented sewing session!
