Thankful Thursday

A big hug and shout out to my friend and leader of the Etsyfriends Team, Amanda at SygnetCreations. She turned my cheeks *sosorosey*with the blog feature above. Click on the photo to read it, and please leave her a comment while you are there. Thank you, Amanda!!

Don't forget to come back and visit tomorrow...a new Friday Favorite will be revealed!!

Something New!

It's a little strange, I admit it, how in love I am with this new item. I can't stop looking at these, and holding them carefully, and marvelling at their dainty perfection.

~*~

A fabric swatch of a sweet pink rose from a vintage sheet, a scalloped crochet border, and a paper bead in complementary shades combine with a sturdy gift tag and thin polka dot ribbon to equal one thing: pure feminine romance.

~*~

What woman wouldn't melt a little seeing one of these on the top of a package? She'll never forget who the gift came from, because she won't want to throw away the tag! That's OK- it makes a great bookmark, too.

~*~

See Karen, I told you I would come up with something special to do with the gorgeous beads you made for me...I suspect you'll be getting another order for these soon!!

~*~

My only problem now is deciding whether to sell these individually,
or in sets of three. Opinions?

olive + orchid

The main treasury opened up at the perfect time yesterday...about 11:20 am, while my daughter was at preschool. I have had these two colors on my mind lately, and I was thrilled to be able to find super items from etsyfriends, csst, and design style guide members. Go teams!

~*~

There is one day left for this collection to be viewed, and I am super excited that it is on the first page of *hotness*. If you haven't viewed it, please click on the picture to go straight to the treasury page. There is no more room for comments, but clicking on each of the fabulous items will make this even more popular! I've never had a treasury that I made make it to the front page- with your help, maybe this one can do it!!

Have you made any treasuries or been featured lately? Share the links in the comments, and I will be sure to visit!

Makeover Monday 4/27

Good Monday morning!

So, what happens if you take a plain, avocado colored cotton bowl...

... and add a strip from a beautiful french cotton scarf?

This!!

This will be a set of 3 nesting bowls very soon. Look for them in my shop later this week!

~*~

What are your plans for today? Got anything fun going on? Please share!

Care To Guess?

I was in the mood to make something new and cute the other day, and this is the result. I am so pleasantly surprised that this came out on the first try the way that I envisioned it!

~*~

But, um, do you know what it is?

Please leave your best guess in the comments!

Lidded Project Keeper: Check!

One of my very, very best customers is a fellow crocheter! She has so many orders and projects that she probably has a hook in her hand more often than not. To help keep her projects organized and secure, she ordered herself a custom lidded project keeper in blues and greens. Didn't this turn out pretty? Check out more pictures HERE.

Have you made anything great for someone special lately?

Friday Finds

Finally...a moment of peace! I have been so excited to share some of my thrifted treasures from this week with you. So, without further ado, here we go!

~*~

A baker's dozen of these GORGEOUS antique porcelain knobs in superb condition: $10 (Funny aside, the tag on these said "antic noobs"...boy does that make me giggle!!!)

Set of vintage jadite tupperware reamers: 25 cents

Vintage embroidered pink satin hanky holder: $1.40

Love, love, love these sheets!! I found 2 sets of these in fabulous condition: $4.90 each.

I'm dreaming of a rug in these colors, mmmmm.

Thank you so much to all who voted in the Etsyfriends Team Earth Day Challenge- my rug came in first place!! All of the entries were wonderful, so I am very honored!!
