The wonderful Angela at Leeloo works tirelessly for the labels in her stable. Angela recently interviewed me over at the Leeloo Blog and now due to her hard work, a Sheeps Clothing vintage button brooch has been featured in Girlfriend magazine.

The brooch as shown in the picture above is available at Leeloo.

I do love Liberty fabric and have found an Etsy seller who has a lovely selection. I do not love making yoyos so usually buy them from another Etsy person.

Today this lot of yoyos landed in my letterbox. The fabric originated in England, was shipped to the US to be made into yoyos and now is here in Melbourne where I shall match them with pretty vintage buttons and make them into brooches and hair accessories.

I wonder where they'll go next?
