Showcase your own item plus someone elses

Showcase

Just an idea for another fun thread, that hopefully will bring people’s beautiful work to the attention of a wider audience. Maybe it will catch on, maybe it wont.
The idea is that you share an item from your own shop, and also an item from another shop on Folksy that goes with it. For example, you may share a pair of navy blue gloves from your own shop, and a navy blue hat from another shop that would go nicely together. Or a necklace from your own shop, alongside a ring from another that one could wear with it. In other words, two things that someone might buy together. Thus showcasing your own shop, but also someone else’s who you dont know from Adam.

I’ll kick off with this pink baby jumper from my shop

that would look lovely under a pinafore dress like this one from @hand made by Fiona

Now wouldnt that pair make a lovely gift for a baby girl?

But whatever you choose, why not make the gift extra special by putting it is a little patchwork drawstring heart bag? Saves you wrapping it too!

Seems it is just the two of us who are into matching items up! I thought it might catch on, and be a sort of simplified Folksy Friday type idea for those technically challenged, or who don’t have significant social media presence, to spotlight other peoples work as well as one’s own. Never mind.

For the monochrome look -
