I am trying to be good and not hit "buy" on her lovely Tiddlywinks batt-everything looks so yummy!
ReplyDeleteYikes - too many choices! What an array of choices.
ReplyDeleteI don't sew so I would love one of her bags. Especially BLUE PAISLEY Caddy Sax Drawstring Bag Knitting or Crochet Project Bag or Purse
I really like the Spinners Delight Fiber Filled Gift Basket. It is such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteOoh. I want to put all of the Random Beauty handspuns together into something epic. RTed @millarca
ReplyDelete"Put the Lime in the Coconut" really tickles my fancy! Unexpected and *great* color combination!
ReplyDeleteOh my! This is so me.... LOVE IT!

ReplyDeleteHere is my FB post on my Fav. Bag.
Everything is adorable! I love the BLACK POPPIES and the BUTTERFLY Monkey Sax Drawstring Backpack! I can just picture toting my yarn and projects around in those!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness there are soo many gorgeous things on her web page. I want it all. I esspecially love the emerald city luxury batts. the green is just soo deep i love it. I also love the arsenic and old lace caddie sax.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful items! Have bookmarked it for shopping at one day soon. Love the PINE NEEDLE Straight Circular and DPN Knitting Needle Roll Up Case, and the PLUM AND SAND Caddy Sax Drawstring Bag Knitting or Crochet Project Bag or Purse Medium. Your rovings are great too -- love the SECRET GLADE Spinning Batts 4.6 oz Cormo Silk BFL Glitz and the Bruised ego and Daydreams Rovings. Wish you a lot of success in your shop.
ReplyDeleteBeach Glass is wonderful. I also really like vintage plum roll up case.
ReplyDeleteWhat is there not to love about her shop? I am in love and had to favorite her.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, if I had to pick a 'gotta have' it would be the last of the summer wine bag.
I really liked 2 different listings:
ReplyDeleteBEACH GLASS Luxury Combed Top Birds Nests For Spinning 3.2 oz. Merino Silk Glitz
and
AESTEROID BELT Super Soft BFL Combed Top 4.4 oz
This was a hard decision. My favorite is the green rose circular case.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh - way too many lovely colors, making a very difficult choice!! - so here's just one: "Hen Smooches BFL combed top". I have already put the shop in my favs & will tweet, too.
ReplyDeleteThe Sherbert Corriedale Hand Combed Top is so awesome.
ReplyDeleteI love the Shasta daisy project bag!
ReplyDeleteAh, yes, Beth is a temptress. I have, in the past few months, acquired 5(!) of her bags. They're awesome. I was just looking at her shop yesterday and found more I love, not that I need more... The Blue Paisley ones are great though!
ReplyDeleteHer fibers are also fabulous, and her daughter has great taste in colors!
The handspun sampler seems to call to my wallet
ReplyDeleteI've been checking your shop everyday waiting to see erics tools show up! And i obviously love every bag you have. Duh lol

I love the bags! My favorite is the blue paisley caddy sax.
ReplyDeleteI have bought quite a few things from Beth's shop. A1 service is always available. My all time favorite purchase were a set of stitch markers that looked like mother's rings. I take extra good care of those.
ReplyDeleteRight now, Beth has the coolest bags for sale. The Caddy Sax's. My favorite one of those is the Plum and Sand Caddy. Oh crap. She has recently added Arsenic and Old lace Caddy. Now, I am going to have to flip a coin. I also love the Beware of the 7 yr old Beauty Consultant Batt and Beware the Blind Tattooist is still in my Favorites. Way to cool! I need to win the lotto!!!
i have to say the HANDSPUN SAMPLER 12 Skeins of Handspun Yarn looks like it would be lots of fun to work with!

ReplyDeleteI like the This and That batt with soy and glitz. Looks like a hodgepodge of leftovers put together. But it could be really nice spun up.
ReplyDeleteI'm all about the blue paisley Caddy Sax bag! Wants it, I does...
ReplyDeleteRT'ed as Knitwithkt!
I love the PLUM AND SAND Caddy Sax Drawstring Bag

Bruised ego, but they are all so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe Baanna and Plumeria colored crochet hook and DPN case rough reminisces. We were stationed in the Philippines and had a yard full of the sweet smelling plumerias. I may just have to order this for memories sake.
ReplyDeleteLove your VINTAGE RETRO Reversible Q Style Project Bag. Where did you get that material? Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteJMF
Caddy Sax ! ! ! !
ReplyDeleteWho could resist ! ! !
One Sack for each Project.
The Hushabye Mtn 2-Ply handspun REALLY caught my eye...gorgeous!

I like the lavender and gold DPN case. sparky136 on Ravelry
ReplyDeleteThe BLUE MOON Single Ply Handspun Yarn is beautiful
ReplyDeleteEverything is beautiful. I love the Sherbert spinning batt.
ReplyDeleteMy vote is for the blue paisley caddy bag.
ReplyDeleteblue paisley is sweet.
ReplyDeleteI actually bought one of her bags a few months back after you showed off her lovelies, it is gorgeous, sturdy, functional and i have had many compliments on it!
It's really hard to choose... I love her Random Beauty batts.
ReplyDeleteBut then I love most of Beth's items... also the Arsenic & Old Lace project bag is to die for!
everything is so pretty, but i find the "gandalf's beard" stuff terribly amusing!!
ReplyDelete-oonagh fibersmyth on ravelry
It's a tough one: The Plum and Sand Caddy Sax Project Bag or the Beach Glass sparkly batts.
ReplyDeleteSweet!
Her bags are all gorgeous and I'm waiting to see a Medium Caddy Sax in the perfect colors for me. I also love just about every single one of her batts. Her color combinations are very creative. "Radioactive Cocktail" and "Beware the 7 Yr Old Beauty Consultant" are my current faves.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love your
BLUEBERRY AND CHOCOLATE Straight and DPN Knitting Needle Roll Up Case
I need one of these sooo bad!
I love PLUM AND SAND Caddy Sax Drawstring Bag Knitting or Crochet Project Bag or Purse Medium, amazing blend of colors!
ReplyDeleteOh, sigh. I can't choose. I love them all!
ReplyDeletedesertgarden
I am in lust with that Golden Dragon caddy sax. Everything is beautiful.
ReplyDeletei love the caddy sax! they would be perfect for setting beside your wheel and when you are done spinning for that session, you can just cinch it up. i've been looking into getting one of these!
ReplyDeleteI love her "etc etc etc" listings! What a sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing is BRUISED EGO Superwash Wool Roving, although the bags and batts are scrumptious too!
Any of her Caddy Sax Drawsting Bags would be perfect. They are all soooo beautiful. I love her handspun yarn. They all seem very soft!
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful choices. I fell in love with DADDY'S GIRL yarn handspun by me. It is so soft and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove it

I LOOOOVE the Gingerbread House Yarn - the colors are magnificent. Would love to make a cowl in that and bring it right up against my face...
ReplyDeleteI adore the caddy sax. Choosing just 1 favorite is nearly impossible!
ReplyDeleteI love the BATIK AND PLAID Caddy Sax Drawstring Bag Sock Project Bag or Purse Small and the Whatever single ply handspun:)Hugs Darcy
ReplyDeletedarcysknottyknitter[At]GmaIlDoTCom
Love the Gingerbread House handspun.
ReplyDeleteI love it all! The Arsenic & Old Lace caddy & the Plum & Sand Caddy really call to me, as do the Random Beauty batts and the Gypsy Woman core spun art yarn. I'm drooling.
ReplyDeleteOff to twitter,plurk,facebook & blog
Wow!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to choose when there are sooo many lovely items to drool over.
The Dark Earth Rainbow really speaks to me. I also love the photos of knit swatches so you can see how the colors blend together. Great idea!
Those knitting supply bags are really cool as well.

I love all of Beth's work but today the Random Beauty 4 Spinning Batt is calling my name! I've spun some of her fiber before and just love the color combinations!
ReplyDeleteI think the Handspun Sampler looks very neat, for someone who knows nothing of spinning herself, but who would know when I whip out this collection?!?!?
ReplyDeleteI really like the stitch markers, too. But all in all I am inspired to neaten up my stashes...in several bags, needle case just keeps showing up in odd places...those little bags look so much better than my ziploc bags with junk poking out of them!!
Oh, if I win, I'd have a headstart!
LOVE your Daydreaming combed top, and the Bruised Ego roving: omigosh -- incredible doesn't even come close.
ReplyDeleteI really like the colors of the "A Wink and a Smile" merino top. I love pastels though :)
ReplyDeleteknitmit on rav
Wow! You can never have too many bags :) I like the Vintage Retro Large Project Purse. Fun colors!
ReplyDeleteVickyknits on Ravelry.
Thanks!
I really love "BEWARE THE BLIND TATOOIST". The colors are great and the name is so original!
ReplyDeleteI love the random beauty batt, even though they are not ones I would think of to look for they are a great mix. The colors are so cool together.
ReplyDeleteI am so in love with Beth's Caddy Sax that I must have one! I was hoping that I'd have a little bit left after I pay the bills this month and really, really wanted the Plum Wine and Gold one - but someone bought it a couple of days ago :( The bills will get paid and maybe there will be enough left over for a present for me before these things go into the magazine and sell out for months!
ReplyDeleteI like the Tiger Lily handspun. Beautiful colors. I also love the special listings - great idea!
ReplyDeleteI really like the BLACK POPPIES Small Monkey Sax Drawstring Backpack. And congrats on the Interweaver Crochet spot! I'll keep my eye out!
ReplyDeleteOh my! What a lovely shop. Yes, I will need to consider buying a bag before she becomes super famous! :-)
ReplyDeleteHard to pick faves, but the Plum & Sand bag is speaking to me. As is the Random Beauty #3 batt!
Tweeting @WaterlooWools as well!
My favorites at the shop are the little are you paying attention discount pages--I love all the stuff and have mentioned it on my facebook page too.
ReplyDeleteWow!! So many beautiful things!! I have to say, I really really love the Beach Glass handspun though. Gorgeous!! So many beautiful things, I just had to share this with my friends on facebook...maybe they'll buy something for me...;) haha
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with the handspun. I just love the look of handspun yarn in general. The project bags are awesome.
ReplyDeleteWow! This store is amazing! I love the bags so much - very beautiful fabric combinations! I am in love with her batts right now - especially the BARE TREES AND BLUE SKY batts containing Firestar Glitz Merino Cheviot - gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo many great items it's hard to choose a favorite. Although, right off the bat (pun intended) the RANDOM BEAUTY 3 Chunky Spinning Batts 5 oz Angelina Firestar Silk Corriedale caught my eye. I love the color blending in it!
ReplyDeleteI love your
ReplyDeleteDAY DREAMING 64s Merino Wool Combed Top 5 oz
The bags look great and I like the WHATEVER B colorway in the handspun yarn.
ReplyDeleteThose random beauty batts are pretty amazing!
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with Fairy Underpants!! I love the name and love the colors. I want to order it just to see what the purple truly looks like!! I also fell in love with the Butterly Monkey Sax back pack. I am so tempted...
ReplyDeleteI love the Plum & Sand Caddy Sax project bag. I totally need a project bag (or 20)!

Oh man....They are all so lovely it's too hard to choose. I think my favorites are the Teal and Chocolate bag and the Last of the Summer wine bag. I will definitely be spreading the word about her shop to the ladies at my knit night. My Rav name is kiwiberrie87 by the way. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Random Beauty batts-- oo la la!
ReplyDeleteMy faves are GYPSY WOMAN Corespun Art Yarn with MOSSFLOWER Two Ply Handspun Textured Art Yarn a close second.
ReplyDeleteOh wow the bags are all so nice! I think the Teal and Chocolate Caddy Sax is my absolute fave, though!
