Cup Cozies are ON SALE

Autumn is here and that means cooler weather, football, pretty leaves, pumpkin pie, and the dreaded onset of the holiday shopping season. I realize that some of you are organized enough to have already made your lists or even started your shopping. Well goody for you.
The rest of us are just starting to think about what to get for those hard-to-buy-for people on our lists like co-workers, piano teachers, Sunday school teachers, hair stylists, and the like. You know, the people you care about enough to want to give a gift but that you don't know well enough to know what they'd like. My solution is simple: Eco Friendly Reusable Cup Cozies for everyone! Just wrap one up with a gift card to a local coffee shop or a package of flavored teas and you're all set. Easy and affordable, thoughtful but not TOO personal.
And to make this great idea even better, the cup cozies in my shop are now on sale: Buy 3 Get 1 Free. There are lots of designs to choose from so have fun shopping! Here are just a few:

Show Prep

This upcoming weekend, December 6th and 7th I'll be a vendor at the Annual Holiday and Hometown Arts and Crafts Show in Leesburg, VA. This will be my 3rd year at this show and I'm really looking forward to greeting old customers and to meeting new ones. This year for a little added fun, I'll put out my button rings. They're adjustable and colorful and once they're gone, they're gone.
Also new in my booth this year are the Cup Cozies. These have been just FLYING out of my Etsy shop. A cup cozy paired with a coffee shop gift card is the perfect gift for anyone because it is not overly personal, it is good for the environment, and can be used even if you're not a coffee lover~ get tea, apple cider, or hot chocolate! Here are a few of the newest designs:
If you're planning to be near Leesburg this weekend, click on the banner below to get directions to the show, admission is FREE and it is INDOORS! Hours are Saturday 9am to 4pm and Sunday 10am to 4pm.
