There are lots of nasty bugs and colds about this winter so I thought I would try and combat them with a healthy fruit and veg post.

How great would this bag be to take down to your local market to collect your veggies? Available from Mels Hand Made.

Remind yourself to get your 5 pieces of fruit and veg a day with these fun magnets from Miso.

How cute is this mini fruit salad pendant? It measures just under an inch and is available from Strawberry Anarchy.

I know this original illustration from The Clutter Monkey is a little of a stretch to get the fruit theme but there are grapes in it! And I couldn’t resist that fox!

The tagline for Sew Bettie is Really, Really Awesome Fabric and when I spotted this fun moustache fabric I had to agree! What would you make from it?

How cute is this pretty Spoodle (named Leona incidentally) from Spoodles shop? Very I would say!

I love looking at pretty beads (even though I have no use for them myself) and this lampwork one by Beth Singleton is gorgeous.

If you have contacted me over the Christmas period then I am slowly working my way through the emails and if a response is required then I will be getting back to you shortly!

Everyone hopes to be able to have a fresh start or new begining in the new year so here are some things I have found for you.

This ‘January’s Fresh Start’ print from Sarah Jane is perfect for blowing away those cobwebs from the old year.

This soap will certainly give you an invigorating start to your day if not your whole year! Available from Luscious Lather.

If anything will inspire you to have a fresh start then it is this gorgeous ‘Begin’ necklace from Lisa Hopkins.

Now Daisie is a friend of mine and I thought it was about time to share her work with you all! You may have seen snippets here and there but here is a full post dedicated to her!

I really like these ice skate decorations and I really like the fact that they are made from materials from Daisies stash and some things are repurposed.

I love the simplicity of this heart card - perfect for a certain upcoming holiday in February!

These wallflower notecards have a gorgeous colour pallet and the best bit is that they are made from reclaimed wallpaper! Perfect to keep in for unexpected birthdays/thank you cards etc.

These His and Hers chicken hotties make me smile every time I see them - but everyone knows I am chicken mad don’t they?

If you are based in the UK then you can click on the link at the top to find Daisie’s Folksy shop but go here if you want her Etsy shop.

I just wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and hope that you are all having a wonderful day.

Come back in the new year for more posts and a great competition to celebrate our first anniversary!

Have a wonderful time with your families over the coming break and if you celebrate then Happy Christmas from me!
