It has to look ugly...

It has to look ugly before it can look pretty again. I keep telling myself that over and over when talking about a landscaping project going on at my house this week.

I've been so preoccupied with the sounds of saws and the color of flagstone that I have not made much this week for my shop. My kids go back to school in a week, so then I will kick it in high gear then.

So here are some pics in the middle of the process.....finished product coming soon!

Etsy Finds email....

So a couple days ago I'm going through the latest Etsy Finds email and, as always, I scroll through all the pictures to see what cool things are out there.

Then...there they were....my medium circle hoops in the email! I was so surprised and quickly got to work making more of that pair. :-) It was great to have a little sales boost from all the hoops!

Check out the summer jewelry guide for lots of great summer accessories.

Thank you Etsy for the feature!

Like her entrepreneurial spirit!

So my DD likes to watch me in my studio and bring in her own crafts to work on, unpack tins, organize scrap paper, etc.

She always asks questions when we take things to the post office...Where is it going? What did they order? etc, etc.

So I thought it was quite industrious when she decided to set up her own shop this morning, all on her own. See picture above.

Now I'm not sure if there is such a great market for used shoes sold out of our family room, but I definitely admire her entrepreneurial spirit.

Twist of lime...

Great treasury..."Sexy with a twist of lime"! Thanks for including my long wispy line earrings ZionShore.

Of course, I am partial to that lime green color. :-)

Cooler than Rio treasury....

Super fun feature in the Cooler than Rio treasury designed by themefragrance. Thanks again!

You can see the full treasury here and the super cool shop of themefragrance here. Enjoy!
