girls night in!!!

Here in Aus we have girls night in during October for those who want to raise money for cancer research...thus My bud Lou is throwing a girls night in tomorrow night! Have made a few gift to give away or auction or lucky dip??? not sure which yet. Thought you all might like some of the ideas for I think they would make great cheap and easy gifts for xmas. I made some quick brooches using felt material and vintage buttons.



To go with the brooches I found some $2 hand towels and $1 2 year pocket planners.

So easy to do. Also found some pink string bags for $2.50. If you look closely you will see my new identity as I hope to open an etsy shop with some ideas I have mulling around in my head but who knows when I will get the chance to let that one out of the bag...ahhh well such is life!!! Have a great weekend one and all. I shall be having fun at my girls night out!!

I just found your blog, which is gorgeous, but I LOVE these brooches. I'm in a brooch kind of mood at the moment, and they are just beautiful. :)

Good luck with the Girls Night In, it's such a fabulous cause. I'm sad my girlfriends aren't doing it this year.
