May I introduce...HancoxHomestead


who have a fabulous range of home made goat milk soaps and much much more on Zibbet. I'm loving this Christmas tree soap which is scented with cranberry.

More cranberry soaps have been shaped to hang as Christmas tree ornaments, just imagine the scents!


Helen has also made some lovely beaded napkin rings



And of course it's not all about Christmas - HancoxHomesteadalso have the sweetest set of four goats milk animal soaps: cat, pig, monkey and mouse perfect for party bags!



There is also a range of lavender filled decorations - I love this little bird!



A shop for everyone! Check out HancoxHomestead and make a new Zibbet friend!

Monday Morning Woohoos!

No no no, not Monday morning blues ;-)

Actually, I suppose it could be greens - I want to share my newest Meerkat with you...not sure what to call him, maybe ZuperKat? Or SuperZeerKat? He's a customizable Zibbet Superhero, inspired by the fabulous way Zibbet treats its sellers.



If you're getting tired of feeling trampled and ignored, I can highly recommend Zibbet. Premium accounts are a great deal right now, and the basic free account now allows your first *FIFTY* listings FREE.



You can find Jess (Developer) and Jonathan (CEO) on the forum regularly, helping and supporting us. Of course, it still isn't a case of "list it and they will buy" :-) but it's a great site, and growing all the time!

Who is *your* Zibbet Superhero?

Walking along the Pilgrims Way

Harrietsham, Kent, UK







We even found a pilgrim cat!





I don't know what these seedheads are, but aren't they glorious? They were scrambling through lots of hedgerows.



The pink/orange seeds are from a spindle tree. Mother Nature obviously hasn't heard that those two colours aren't supposed to "go" together.

Undiscovered on Zibbet: Abracadebra!

Debbie, from Abracadebra, creates beaded jewelry. This is how she describes her earrings: "They are special, because although a simple design, they are my first brick stitch design. They are unique to me and are different than your usual brick stitch earring design. Though little, they took quite a few hours to make seeing as each bead was woven in one at a time."



Something I noticed too late for Halloween is this magnificent pendant:


Isn't it great?

I also really like Debra's Autumn inspired choker



Good luck Debra! Check out Abacadebra for high quality, yet affordable beaded jewelry that you can enjoy for a lifetime.

Waiting to cross the road

...feels like it takes forever for the traffic to pass sometimes. This particular "traffic" was wandering across a public footpath. We thought we'd wait our side of the gate until they'd passed (those horns look sharp!)



You can almost hear the littlest one at the back, complaining "Are we there yet?"



Most of the mums were begged for a drink as soon as they'd arrived.


My favourite photo - you can just about see the milk all over his face! He needs a flannel.
