shop update!

new travel organizers in the shop! i've added some lace. love it!

shop update!

this little project was totally my mom's idea. and what a great idea it was!

i can't tell you how many times, while getting ready to board an airplane, i have thought that i've misplaced by boarding pass because i've stuck it in a random book or magazine.

problem solved! use this stylish clutch (now in the shop) to organize your travel documents. it has pockets for your boarding passes, your passport, your drivers license and other cards.

i may have to take one to vegas with me on sunday. vegas!!

shop update!

i think i must have been bored yesterday, so i got busy crafting! here are my latest creations.

these mini notepads are so cute! great for keeping in the purse.
and customizable!



i had thought about making felt storyboards for a little while, and finally got around to doing it. so fun for a wee one!

dk designs

holy crap, look at these flowers by dk designs. at first glance, would you say they look real? i sure did.

nope. they're made from clay! ClayCraft soft clay by DECO to be exact. i'm not sure what that is, but it sure makes lifelike flowers! beautiful!

love the peonies...

check out her website. i am AMAZED. amazed.





i may have to have these gardenias for my wedding. no need to worry about the flowers browning!

another update?!?!

so sorry to inundate you will all these updates, but i have been a crafting fool this week!

a lovely friend of mine requested a special onesie (of the golden gate bridge) for her boyfriend's soon-to-be niece. i was more than happy to oblige! once i made that stamp, i just couldn't stop!

more pillows

two new pillow slips in the shop today!

i have another shop update to tell you about. i've made some new pillow slips and a tote. hope you like them!

shop update!

finally, the shop is updated. thank you so much for your patience!

something's hiding in here

no, not in my blog, in the cute shop, something's hiding in here. so quirky. so kitchy. love it!





oh, and i should have a shop update coming soon. mr. m is doing some product shots for me today. yeah!

phoenix, etsy style

i've been in my new city for almost a month now, and it's about time for me to start making some connections. i used the lovely shop local feature and found some really cool shops. enjoy!

this glass necklace by starving artist bazaar is so pretty.


love this silhouette by nesta home.


striped babydoll party dress by ouma clothing. very sex and the city.


cool necklaces from wicked minky.


phoenix notecards from jason hill design.

wear no evil

how gorgeous are these hand carved bangles by kath inglis of wear no evil? they look like glass, but are actually flexible PVC. way cool.

scabby robot

thanks to etsy's featured seller profile, i (re)found scabby robot, a shop i have had on my favorites list for awhile. they do the most wonderful things with leather (and cotton). the look is so rugged/rustic and simultaneously chic!

india y la luna

whew. unpacking your house in two days can be exhausting! add a visit from the sisters, and one is left with little time to blog. sorry!

i'm loving the dainty and pretty rings by india y la luna. so lovely!

lala b.

just a quick post- the truck comes tomorrow! i get to unpack! hooray!

love these koa wood earrings by lala b. this unique wood grows in hawaii.

hawaii. sounds nice. although phoenix wasn't too bad today. it was only 92 degrees. it actually felt quite nice while the wind was blowing.

PHOENIX!!

i'm here! whew, that was a long drive.

i'll be back to regular posts as soon as the truck with all my stuff arrives. hopefully by tuesday?

it's already hot as hell here (record highs! 107!), but there is supposed to be a cool down later this week.

thanks for your patience everyone! i've missed you!!

need a cute bag for the farmer's market season? check out these eco-friendly totes by diengie designs, made from recycled coffee bean bags.

so sorry

oops. i said i wouldn't be absent from the blog while i was packing up my life.

apparently that was a lie. i'm sure you'll forgive me.

as a peace offering, i bring you the work of dalinda, who sells lovely bags in her shop, plonka. aren't the shapes so interesting? i want to become a better sewer so i can create interestingly shaped bags. neat!

where have i been? and deer heads.

where did i go? am i back? i think so.

i went on a little trip to see mr. m for his birthday, right when i accepted an offer on my house.

so i've been a bit busy, as the closing (and cross country move) happens next week.

but it was wrong for me to neglect the blog. so sorry!

as i think about how to decorate the new place, certainly the last thing to enter my mind would be this thought: "i think a deer head would look just lovely above my mantle."

one, i don't have a mantle (you don't really need a fireplace in the desert), and two, yuck! a deer head? eww!

right?

but check these out. ruby's lounge has reinvented the deer head, and made it hip. wouldn't one of these look fabulous above a fireplace, on a white wall?

ericka bazile

i love love love these bags by ericka bazile. if i weren't saving all my pennies for the upcoming move, i would totally have to have one for my new summer bag.
