Folksy Finds Competition - Textile Love
Folksy are running a contest on facebook entitled "Textile Love". I have copied and pasted at the bottom of this page the outline of the contest which has the closing date of 27th February 2012 so if you want to enter you need to be quick.
As you all already know I am a huge fan of keeping things local and supporting mainly British where ever possible, being loyal to Folksy and keeping MHE (My Heart Exposed Fibre & Yarns) hosted on there and not on an overseas based company selling platform, so am very pleased to be taking part in this contest. Here are the 18 items / sellers I have chosen to feature for you this week which make my entry to the fabulous contest with a beautiful yellow flowers "SPRING" theme running through them all.
