Set Sail

A collection of nautical items neatly arranged into a treasury list by DPD Designs. That handsome sailboat key fob is mine :)

Loretta The Lobster

My Loretta the Lobster Key Fob made it into a treasury list yesterday thanks to nvblondie. Check out her shop for handmade crochet goods~ just in time for the cooler weather here!
Below is the attractive navy and pink themed collection she came up with:






















Loretta is joined in my shop by quite a few BRAND NEW key fobs! Just click on the image to go to my shop and see a wider selection of key fobs.

Dotty

What a nice surprise to come home this afternoon and find that I've been included in a CREST treasury curated by dottyral. In Dotty's shop you'll find not only her very popular emery pincushions, but also a new line of hand stitched pendants.




















Even nicer is to find out that someone visited my shop and bought the set of cute clips pictured in the top row of the treasury list along with two other sets!

Thank You

Thank you to Wendy at Bobs and Bits for including my ponytail holders in her recent EtsyKids treasury list. Her shop is full of custom hand painted decor for your little ones to enjoy! Here is her list called "EtsyKids is over the rainbow..."


My yellow ladybug ponytail holders are shown in the 2nd row. Here is a glimpse of some of the other colors available in my shop:


If you need another color, please ask and I'll let you know if I have the fabric for it or not. Custom requests are always welcomed!

Its All Been Done Before

Here is my most recent treasury list, done in the very common "mint chocolate" theme. Thus the title. But mint chip IS my favorite ice cream flavor after all! Second fave would have to be coffee ice cream, even though I drink decaf tea often and coffee only rarely. Maybe I'll curate a treasury called "favorite flavor runner-up" in the future...

Pretty Colors From The Toilet

Alternate Title: Lovelies From The Loo

Regarding my latest treasury list: PLEASE UNDERSTAND that I do not believe that any of these items should be flushed away! They are all WONDERFUL! I had already chosen brown and yellow for my search combo and later realized what that reminded me of. And I needed a title...

Get Ready For It

A wintry mix, that is! (wintery? winter-y?)
Our county is under yet another winter weather advisory overnight tonight. The last two times this has happened recently we just had rain. Since we're at 33 degrees right now and it is supposed to get slightly warmer, I think we'll dodge the bullet again. My son of course (5th grader) is hoping for a delayed school opening. My daughter (1st grader) is spending the week at home recovering from having her tonsils and adenoids removed this past Friday. So she does not really care one way or another. She'll be up early either way, she's feeling better each day and getting bored with staying home. And is tired of eating soft foods. She keeps asking for a cheeseburger which she rarely will eat on a normal day, so I'm not sure where that idea keeps coming from!
On another note, I was able to get a treasury list a short time ago. I based the color choices on the weather forecast. Hope you and yours are warm and dry tonight!

Need A Hand?

Need A Hand?
Or maybe just some feet...
My latest treasury list!

Thank you

Thank you to Undefined Village of Frederick, MD for including my Chestnut Hill Tote in this CREST treasury! Stop by her shop to see her fine art photos and prints. If you go NOW you'll find out about her Cyber Monday sale!

A Treasury for Thursday

It is has been raining here all day. No sun at all. Very dreary. Hard not to doze off. So I made a colorful treasury to cheer myself up!

Saturday Night Serenity

The kids are playing at a neighbor's house (thanks Dave), the husband is at Home Depot, and the cats and I are relaxing at home. I love the quiet! Not all the time, I'd miss my family, but once in a while I like to read and drink tea and hear my own thoughts. And not hear Spongebob. Or football on TV. Or the words "I'm hungry". Or "Mom/Honey where is my ...fill in the blank...?" C'mon people, if you threw your whatever it is onto the pile on your closet floor, then there is a really good chance that it is still there! Did you look before you asked me? Of course not. But hey, all three of them have their redeeming qualities as well; guess I'll keep 'em.

With all of this quiet around me, I worked on starting an e-mail newsletter and I made a new treasury list as well. Have a peek:

I hope you are all having a relaxing evening too, unless you're busy having FUN!

ETSY FINDS found me!

MaryMary of Etsy admin wrote an article for the Storque today that mentioned some of the many Etsy weekend sales~ and one of my zipper pouches was pictured! Here is the link to that article:

In the meantime, here is my latest treasury list for your enjoyment:

My Latest Treasury:

I like curating treasury lists on Etsy. It is a great way for me to discover shops I might not have seen otherwise. Today I did a search for blue, brown, and red. This is what I came up with:

Hope you like it too. But the neat thing is that when I was trying to remember how to get a screenshot of it, I found out about thumbalizr. It has some cool features that I have not even explored yet. Of course it is free or I probably wouldn't have tried it out. Maybe you'll give it a try some day?
