New Banner!

I got a new banner for the ETSY shop! Isn't it wonderful! I enlisted the services of enchantedmemories. I highly recommend this ETSY seller who has a special gift with graphic design. She has a shop full of banners, avatars, ads, and total shop packages, and she is so good at custom work! I told her what I wanted and she came up with exactly what I had in my head! I am just so thrilled with this seller!

Please go visit enchantedmemories on ETSY with any of your graphic design needs! I promise she will not disappoint!

For Crown and Country... and maybe a Prince

Oh this was a fun Treasury to make! I started with Hattie Albino, a fabulous and haunting print by AmberAlexander. This artist does amazing work and I really encourage you to check out her Etsy Shop. She brings such human emotion to the animals she paints. Some are adorable and some seem almost menacing. I love art that evokes feelings, whether welcome, or uncomfortable. To me, an emotional connection is the true value of art. 

Once I had Hattie in place, I went in search of regal items to accompany her. While searching for "goth lace" I ran into the Victorian Inspired Neck Corset and the model struck a similar chord as Hattie! Brilliant! 

So now I had two beautiful ladies. I went in search of a Prince. Instead I found a Frog. But he really looks like he could be a Prince if only regal lips would find their way to his slimy skin.

I added in some ruby red items, a vintage jewelry box, and some fearful citizens, and there you go! A Treasury that tells a tale of menace, greed, and heartbreak. Please come pay a visit and leave a comment. :) 

The Love Of Handmade

My kitchen window bluebirds ♥

Want to know a secret? I'm WILD about handmade pottery. Like WILD- totally. I'm going to tell you about one of my very favorite Etsy shops- Mudhutt ♥

Live, Laugh, Love Magnets $12

Mudhutt uses little bits of clay to create gorgeous works of art. Her style is simple and friendly. Sweet words, little hearts, flowers, and bluebirds grace many of her works. She makes magnets, pendants, dishes, and hanging designs for home and garden.

Seek Bliss Wall Tag $12

I do hope you take a few minutes to go peruse Mudhutt over on Etsy. I'm sure you'll find something you'll love! I've given her pieces as gifts and kept some for myself. I find joy each time I look upon my sweet handmade treasures! 

Handmade Goodness

Soft, warm, red, and handmade with ♥

I just love getting packages in the mail! Last week I participated in a Treasury that Etsy user sosorosey held in honor of her friend's birthday. Because I purchased a little item from her dear friend's store, sosorosey gifted me with one of her handmade yarn bowls! She even let me choose the color! I chose red because it's just such a vibrant and warm color to have around the house, and I especially enjoy red crocheted items. 

I'm not sure what I'll do with my little red bowl. I put my cell phone in it. Then I tried some change. Then some lipgloss. Then some vintage buttons. Nothing seems to fit it just right yet. I'll keep trying and let you know!
