A Chance to Grow your Blog Party 2014 and a Giveaway

 Vicki Boster, a dear friend, of
2bagsfull Blog
 has generously offered to host another
Grow Your Blog Party for 2014




 for bloggers to showcase
their blogs and to offer to connect new bloggers and old bloggers with each other
 as well as providing an opportunity to make new friends
and to share their talents with each other.

There is much to learn in having a successful blog
and there are many wonderful bloggers
willing to help and assist
where they can.
All you need to do is ask!!!


Vicki is one of those special people always looking to lend a hand
by thinking up ways to raise funds for those in a less fortunate
situation than herself e.g. Pink Scarf Project for women
with breast cancer amongst many others
so
I thought I would join in the party in support and welcome
all new bloggers and old friends and followers
into my little world of blogging here
where I live in the country
on a beautiful property in an old world garden of
rambling roses on the far south coast of
Australia.




My name is Suzy Quaife and below is the studio where
I work (play!!!)








I have had a great love of vintage textiles, rich and exotic
fabrics (like silks and satins), vintage laces, doilies, braids, trimmings, velvet ribbon etc. since I can't remember when going way back even as a child.

This love was expressed through costume making and crazy patchwork for several years and more recently it has
taken the shape of mixed media fabric and paperworks.
  
I have found that bloggers love to see images (and the more the
better) to help them become inspired so be prepared to see heaps!).
They love to see where you create, what you create with and 
the finished creations.



This collage gives a sample of the items I create
and here is a sampling of the materials used in some of these,





 e.g. vintage doilies and laces








buttons, feathers, pods








sari ribbons, jewellery including rhinestones




more laces, seam binding,




tea bags, string, stamps, raw silk, mohair
and many small rusted pieces which I can incorporate into
collages/assemblages such as this. 








Of course one of my greatest passions is in creating
fabric lace books and journals and the collages
which form the layered pages
















Daguerreotype images for the theme of this lace book above
and below another theme is that of nature









The many hand stitched layered pages form the background
for these Australian birds or a collection of
gifts from friends are held inside this book
below.



Then sometimes I just love to create free standing
collaged and layered wall hangings using
vintage jewellery with tins and chains
and similar things.























Bags, purses and totes have been other items on my
project list this past year
















along with garlands (reminiscent of Buddhist prayer flags)
 such as these as well as the smaller
creations of boxes and cards and mini collages 





























Now that you have persevered and finally arrived at the bottom
of this post you are rewarded with a chance to win
this Giveaway - a vintage style brooch
created by me which may be pinned to anything
that appeals to you!






All you need to do is leave one comment here on this page.
You don't need to be a follower but you are certainly
welcome to follow and I will draw a winner
on Saturday, 15th February 
so don't forget to leave me your email address
so that I may contact you.

*** Please feel free to pin this GIVEAWAY
on the sidebar of your blog to tell others!

♥♥♥
I wish you luck in the draw and more importantly
I wish you much success and enjoyment with
your blog as it is in the sharing like
this that we receive
inspiration, acknowledgement and a chance to make
wonderful friends!

♥♥♥

Thank you so much Vicki for the most amazing hours
of dedication you have given this party for the
benefit of so many bloggers.
We appreciate you heaps! xxx

Love and hugs, Suzy

    There is so much beauty within these pages - it's a lot to take in.
    Your stash of exquisite fabrics, vintage laces and ephemera is mouth

    I feel so blessed to have three of your pieces in my collection!

    I know I will come back again and again to feast my eyes.

    I love your beautiful giveaway brooch - it will add beauty and pizazz to any outfit.
    I'm so glad you're part of Vicki's Grow Your Blog party!

  53. Ohhhhhhhhhhhh Suzy, I just wish I could sit and play all day with you in your beautiful studio with all of your beautiful supplies. Your work is absolutely STUNNING!!!

    Isn't Vicki just the sweetest ever to have this "growing" party again this year? I was determined after missing out last year that I would create a blog and enter this year. I did start a blog (posted once!) and after that, well, you know it goes ...

    I would love for you to enter me in your contest. Winning would take the sting out of not jumping on the bandwagon.

  108. Suzy, I am a weak, weak woman! I'm trying to visit each GYBP participant by working my way from the top down. Tonight I caved. I wanted to visit you and refuse to wait any longer. Your blog is a wonderfully serene, calming place and there are many, many times I visit and never leave a comment. I just want to sneak in, have a quiet look...renew...refresh...and be happy. I bless Vicki each time I think of her, all the enormous work it takes to put on the GYBP and bless her name. So many portals are opened to all of us because we participate.
    God bless you, yours and the work of your hands and heart.
