Folksy Friday - Simple Pleasures...

Last weekend I attended a two day Craft Fair at Elsecar Heritage Centre in South Yorkshire. Although sales were a little slow, and customers not as plentiful as could have been hoped for, there were some fantastic stallholders to while away the day with! A photo diary of the lovely people I met can be seen on the Yorkshire Made blog

One of the new stallholders that I hadn't met before was Helen of Riddles Craft who amongst lots of other lovely items was selling a range of cards designed by her daughter Rebecca. The range was called 'Simple Pleasures' and I saw six different designs - all of which seemed absolutely spot on.

Luckily I didn't have to choose my favourite as there was also a card that featured all six designs in one!

As the list of simple pleasures seemed so appropriate and personal to me, I thought it might be a nice idea to link the ideas from the card with some of this weeks Folksy Friday finds...

simple pleasure #1
unplugging technology


simple pleasure #2
licking out the bowl



simple pleasure #3
spotty wellies on rainy days

(Ok, I couldn't find any pictures of spotty wellies! Who'd of thought!?)

simple pleasure #4
buttons and beads



simple pleasure #5
watching a candle flame



simple pleasure #6
purposefully odd socks

 (Yes, I know, these socks aren't odd, but they are very beautiful!)

I think I may well indulge in quite a few of these simple pleasures over this weekend!
