I Heart Tea (And My First Sale on Folksy!)

I woke up this morning to a nice surprise- I'd sold my first set of Tunnock's badges on Folksy!! I've sold loads of things on eBay in the past, and a brooch on old Etsy shop (my new Etsy shop will be opening again soon) but this felt different.

It's really cool to know that somebody liked your things enough to part with their hard-earned cash for them.

In my new-found Folksy-Joy, I've been inspired to make a few more things, which will be listed very soon...including the freebie which I will be giving away in SheDraw's Fancy Tea Swap this month. For everybody aside from the lucky person who I will be swapping Teas with, You can buy my new badge on Folksy.

A Very Tunnock's Christmas

Just thought I'd post a wee update about my badges on Folksy. I'm now selling a range of Tunnock's themed badges- including a gift set (pictured above) Each set comes complete with gift wrap included for FREE to all those sharing the Tunnock's Love this Christmas!

More Tunnock's Tributes

On looking at Tunnock's, I've discovered a whole subculture of people (scarily like me) who seem to have a fascination with all things red and gold and biscuity. There are even a couple of artists who have shown their love for Tunnock's confectionary. Fiona Watson made the beautiful photo of the deer and the teacake, as well as several prints of the famous dome, one of which hangs in the reception of the factory in Uddingston. Maisonette's teacake and Blyth doll photos are lovely.

I'm planning some artwork using Tunnock's confectionary at the moment. Teacake, anyone?

Tunnock's Badges, Online

Ok, so a quick update! I've opened a new shop. NikkiMade currently stocks my Tunnock's Caramel Wafer pin badges. I've got plans to do a whole range of shiny Tunnock's badges, Teacakes, Caramel Logs- the lot! I sold some of my badges to the Gallery of Modern Art, in Glasgow, where they'll be for sale in the shop.

NikkiMade will soon stock all sorts of other goodies, including loads more badges, hats, earrings and shoes!
