Today's Featured Item
With all the attention this ring got two Saturday's ago at my Market Day Sale, I'm not sure how I still have it.
So many people tried it on and loved it! It's the one item that I cannot believe didn't sell (just based on the sheer number of people who picked it up).
I absolutely love this ring (which might be why I kept it's twin for myself). I'm not sure it will make it through another Market Day sale. If you have to have it, buy it now!

A Great Wedding Idea
I know I've shared before the awesome idea my friend Emily had for her wedding. But now, I want to share pictures!!
Emily had me make flower headbands for all of the bridesmaid and herself for us to wear at the reception. We hand picked the fabric to match perfectly with her navy blue theme.
Obviously, fun was had by all, and the headbands were a hit! I just think this was the cutest idea, and it's perfect for any wedding!
I give discount prices for bulk orders, and I love making custom pieces. Contact me with any questions or for a pricing quote.

A Small Change and a Big Change
So one small change - I've removed my "iPhone Meter" from my sidebar.
One big change - I went with the Droid Incredible 2 over the iPhone.
I have been wanting an iPhone for quite a while, but several events led to my change of heart. A lovely follower of mine informed me that Verizon was going to be changing their prices on their smartphone data packages. I did a little research and found that they were totally removing the unlimited choice. As of now, I think they have adopted a tiered system. I really wanted to get grandfathered in on the lower unlimited price!
My bank account was also more Droid friendly. This phone was marked down $50 for my account with an additional $50 online discount. Add on my $30 upgrade discount, and I was quite a happy camper.
I have several friends with Droid, and they love their phones! In my house, my brother is the go-to electronic guy. So before I made my purchase and final decision, I had to call him. He's an iPhone user, so I know I could trust his opinion.
Long story short, I went with the Droid. So far, I'm loving it!! I purchased a white case it for it, so it's almost like having a white iPhone!

WILW
I'm linking up with Jamie again for WILW!!
I'm loving that it's Wednesday...Hump Day!!
I'm loving that I'm heading to Charleston Friday morning to celebrate with my friends Kelsey and Gary! They're getting married on Saturday afternoon, so I've got a weekend of wedding festivities to look forward to! (Not to mention, I get to see some of my friends I haven't seen all summer!!)
I'm loving that Monday was the 4th of July, and that I got to spend the holiday in my hometown with my boy. I wouldn't trade our hysterical laughing in the sudden downpour for actually getting to watch fireworks anyday.
Can't wait to see what y'all are loving today!

Exciting Etsy News
We got some very exciting Etsy news last week. My dad's life drawing shop, Life Study, had it's first sale!
What's even more exciting is that the drawing shown above sold to the set decorator for the NBC show Parenthood. We're hoping that the drawing will show up in some of the episodes as he had to sign a release form.
As far as first sales go, I think that's just about as good as it can get!

July Market Day
Yesterday was my very first mass sale booth-thing. My town has been having a First Saturday Market around the square for a number of years now, and I've been a frequent visitor and buyer. My mom convinced me that I needed to get a booth for the July Market (since we had already missed the deadline for June). Luckily, I got all my registration application material in on time and made the cut! Apparently they end up with a long waiting list each month.
So from that time on, I had been busily making new pieces and working on my display in between two jobs and everything else I had going on.
I have to admit I was nervous before the sale. Is this something that ever goes away? I was just worried I wouldn't make my $35 registration fee back, or it would rain, or my booth would blow away in a gust of wind, or I wouldn't be received well.
Luckily, the weather was perfect! It was a little hot, but the small breeze helped with that. I definitely made my registration fee back, and I'm already planning on doing it again next month! Having this first booth, I learned some things I want to change for next time.
Here's a few pictures from the day!

I was so happy at the end of my sale. I had a great experience, and I'm looking forward to the first Saturday in August!
