Pinterestin' Friday


I figured I'd start my "Back-to-Blogging" with an installation of Pinterestin' Friday. Just like I used to do, I'm going to share a few of favorite pins from the past week. All links to original posts can be found on my pinterest boards.

The theme for today is:
orange

I love the idea of a painted claw-foot tub, but I think my mom would kill me if she came home and found that ours was orange.


I love nice sectional sofas. This cream color with the orange accents is lovely.


Not technically orange (yet), but I will be making these bracelets very soon!! I've already ordered my chain and orange suede! I also have black, gray, white, and pink suede coming. Look for these in my shop when it opens later this month.


Just because I couldn't resist. :)

Have a great weekend!! Who watches the SuperBowl and who watches the commercials? With the Falcons out, I'll be living for the commercials. Happy Friday!

Oh, I have a blog?

To those of you who have continued to follow my blog, I am thoroughly impressed. And to answer your question, no I have not dropped off the face of the Earth.

After my month and a half hiatus, I am ready to come back to blogging with some exciting changes for my blog, Etsy shops, and life. If you've visited my shop in the past few weeks, you've noticed that it's completely empty. I'm working on revamping my image and adding new pieces. My shop will hopefully be relaunched during February.

Some things for you to look forward to as I get back into my blog (hopefully full time)...

As always: 
featured item of the week each Monday,
linking up for What I Love Wednesday,
random craft projects,
and fun finds.

New:
Inspired by a recent Stella & Dot catalogue I received. I absolutely love their beautiful jewelry but do not have $268 to spend on a necklace. I'll be attempting to make some knock-off versions for much less and showing some of my already made jewelry that compares. These occasional segments will be called:



Another craze: Pinterest. I've been doing this for the past few months (when I was actually blogging) but on Friday's I'll be showing some of my favorite pins from the week in a post called:


I plan to jump start my revitalized blog with a giveaway...details coming soon. In the meantime, I'd love to hear from anyone out there still reading this. Anything you'd like to see me do? Send me a Stella & Dot link, follow me on Pinterest, or just say "Hi". I've missed blogging!

25 Days of Christmas - Day 16

The 16th Day of Christmas is all about Christmas!


I'm featuring Christmas tags made by the Tag Ladies!


Each tag is a unique creation using Christmas stickers, Santa Claus images, and cuttings from vintage children's books (all winter themed). The tags all have blank backs and most have room on the front to write your holiday message.


The tags all have ribbon or twine attached so that they can be easily added to any package. These are a perfect touch to your Christmas gifts for neighbors, family, and friends. Order today so these will have plenty of time to arrive!! By ordering, you will receive an assortment (unless like tags are requested). Each tag is $.50. It is up to you how many you'd like! All order over $8 ship for free! (Orders under $8 have a $1 shipping charge.) Orders will be processed through PayPal. Please leave a comment below with the number of tags you would like. Make sure that your email is linked to your comments, so that I can contact you with more information.


Happy shopping, and Happy December!

25 Days of Christmas - Day 15

Another one of a kind piece for Day 15.


Today's one of a kind piece is a beautiful cuff bracelet, and I apologize because the pictures do not do this bracelet justice.



I wrapped a light weight aluminum cuff in orange and white patterned fabric. I then took two strips of navy and white fabric with one strand of vintage rhinestone chain and braided the three. This creates such a unique look. I generally refer to this as my "Auburn Cuff" (because of the colors), but I think it is a beautiful piece that could be for anyone!

The cuff is $12 with $2 shippingOrders will be processed through PayPal. Please leave a comment below with any questions. Make sure that your email is linked to your comments, so that I can contact you with more information.
