So, in recognition of being asked to blog for 'Found on Folksy' and very much in honour of my love for tea and jammy dodgers, I have put together a treasury of beautiful and inspiring pieces of work from the very talented and creative people of Folksy. To me, these pieces show how a truly creative person can draw inspiration from everyday, possibly mundane, items to produce something inspiring, uplifting and desired by many.
I hope you will enjoy my lighthearted journey through the pages of Folksy and share in the appreciation of these unique and inspired pieces of work.
I love the quirkiness of this print and the fact that it depicts the typically British tradition of tea drinking. The use of cockney rhyming slang can't help but make you smile.
What can I say? It really does look good enough to eat!
This is just beautiful. I'm sure if all tea cosies looked like this, more people would use them. I would be proud to 'dress' my teapot in this.
I chose this because the fluid lines of the teaspoon lend themselves perfectly to the shape of a ring. I love the concept of recycling the odd, or unwanted, teaspoons to breathe new life into them. It reminds me of a mobile I once bought for my kitchen, that was made entirely from recycled cutlery.
These would certainly make bath time more fun!
I love these! Lino printing reminds me of early craft experiences at school and these cards inspire me to maybe try it again one day.
Although not strictly tea, or jammy dodger related, this gorgeous little chap appeared in my search and he does have a somewhat striking resemblance to a certain biscuit!
Another quirky one. I love the individuality of this brooch.
I like the bold simplicity of the design on this one and the sentiment obviously!
This is just so striking and a great combination of different styles that work together so well. A really eyecatching teapot, but also an amazing piece of art. You would definately want to get this one out if Hyacinth Bucket came round for tea and SO much nicer than her hand painted periwinkle set!

ooooh! and I'm a dunker when it comes to Jammy Dodgers! What fab choices and loving the tin can teapot! Congratulations on your post and looking forward to so many more! Jay x
Thank you very much Jay! So glad you like the 'subject matter', although I have to say I'm a dismantler, rather than a dunker! That teapot really is amazing isn't it? Sam :o) x
Fab first post, Sam - very well done! As you know, tea and jammy dodgers are very close to my heart too :)
What a brilliant first post Sam and i am honoured that my jammy dodger pendant was included! I look forward to future posts from a fellow jammy dodgerer ! Keep up the good work !!
Thank you very much Kirsten, I'm glad you like it. I think we share the number 1 slot for tea and jammy dodger fanatics don't we? ;o)
Thank you very much for your lovely comments Rhonda and so glad you enjoyed my first post. Your gorgeous pendant was very worthy of inclusion as it really does look 'good enough to eat' as I said in my blog. Hard to believe it's not real in fact! :o)
Young lady, I am thinking you are attracted not only to beautiful craftsmanship, but also to gorgeous photography. You certainly have an eye for striking pictures! And boy, do I want all those soaps- yummy! I am now looking at my cup of coffee thinking "this should be tea, really..." :)
