Isn't she a monster?
Well, yes, in fact she is "Stella" the sock monster.
She is looking a little bleary eyed from jet lag - well, she has travelled 17,000kms across the globe from the U.K. to be here!
She is made by talented textile artist Gina Ferrari and my boys were the lucky winners of "Stella" in Trashy's "Bushfire Appeal Raffle"
Thank you Trash for organising it and for all the generous donations made both to the raffle and the appeal.
"Thank you Gina......"
The boys were not the only ones who were lucky enough to win something from the raffle -I just happen to win Lucy Locket and her friend Jane's Phoenix cards. They are just beautiful and such a wonderful selection too! I will not have to buy cards for the rest of the year!Thank you Lucy and Jane!
Whilst out and about yesterday I popped into one of my local haunts and discovered this little treasure for $10!! "Gasp" I here you say! Yes, ladies $10. 
Now this little beauty has been added to my pink glass collection thanks to my lovely neighbour Sue who popped in last Friday bearing a belated birthday gift. Now, Sue knows I love anything pink - especially pink glass. I love it, Thanks Sue!

I don't collect Carlton Ware so it may end up on ebay....
Let me know if you do collect the "Buttercup" pattern and this is a piece you just have to have......

Your dish is beautiful. The softness of the pink and yet it lets you know unmistakingly it's pink. SO pretty.
