What treasures are in your loft?

Big clear out back home- everything from the loft is out and it's time to sort, so I did a little last weekend (still much to do.)

Amongst everything I found this:

 It use to be my moms and now I have it here with me! I've seen several people use it to display crafts, whether online or at shows. I did keep an eye out for one in the charity shops and antiques but it was either none or expensive, and yet low and behold there was one in the loft all this time!!

The case has been kept very well. My mom thinks it was a beauty travel case, she remembers it vaguely (it still has 2 unused bottles in it.) So now all I need to decide is what will I do with it (oh and where will I store it?)

It's also exciting to think what else will be discovered in the loft??? Maybe you should check yours!

Just starting out with blogging, hoping I can regularly update here, but life has a tendency to get in the way- I will try!

I have set up this blog mainly to talk about my love of crafts- I have two online shops:
http://www.folksy.com/shops/cheshirecat
 and http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheDarlingBudsOfMay?ref=pr_shop

I love making crafts when I get time and I like trying new crafts. I make jewellery, accessories, hand painted glass items, various fimo creations as well as knitting, crochet, card making etc.
I hope to learn more crafts and become better with the crafts I already enjoy- I'm thinking about doing a silver making course, it would be great to make your own designs and I have seen so many beautiful creations. Any tips or advice on silver making appreciated!

I also spend my time working as an aromatherapist. I like making oil blends and natural beauty products and I hope I will be able to make some more scented sachets from home grown plants! If you are interested in aromatherapy please see my website:
