I started an Etsy Shop!!http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5099942
I only listed a few things so far. I will add to it as the week goes by.
I hope to carry raw materials for supplies, like these garden tags, and some finished pieces like the tags I made up from a couple of the tags always available.
These tags look like they were meant for a garden center to use to mark their plants. I have plenty, the offer still goes for 12 for $1, includes postage,(unless you live somewhere overseas, then the postage will need to be added)
I also listed one of my hand painted switch plates. I have sold a couple through the blog already, and am making more.
I will be listing more hand painted items too.
Well, it is a start, I actually set the shop up and listed some stuff, after saying for MONTHS that I was going to!
Wish me luck.
Today started with me going over to Sugarwing’s house to pick her up. She was sound asleep, but always wakes with a smile!
Their place is a rental, but that is no reason to live with plain walls! I faux finished these for her to enjoy. When they move out, a quick coat of white over it will get their deposit back.
Her bed is painted with fairies, the one on the right is a Dorothy fairy, Sugarwing’s mama is a big Wizard of Oz fan.
I got this bed for her on clearance for 75% off. It had been $1,000!!! My god, who pays $1,000 for a baby bed?????? I was happy with this cool bed for $250, though.
We picked up my niece and met a group of friends for coffee (for the moms, not the girls, they had juice) at Bella Bistro. Lovely murals there to enjoy. (not mine, although I have a few murals at places here in Lawrence)
While my fairy grand baby is napping, I went out to pull some garden weeds.
It is starting to look good out there! The green tomatoes are getting bigger.
My husband tried to help by tying up the tomato plants for me, but he used old mop handles, broken bits of wood, and metal fence stakes for posts. He honestly sees nothing wrong with that. I tried to politely explain that it was sweet of him to help, but that I wanted a prettier garden. Oh well, the tomatoes will grow and cover it all up with green and I’ll never notice the mop handles. I guess I am just lucky to have a husband who helps.
12 days left to enter the drawing for a hand painted charm! Leave a comment or an email, enter as often as you’d like to.
Sugarwings is one lucky grandbaby!
The walls in her room are beautiful and
how beautiful is the crib.
I’m looking forward to checking out your
Itsy shop.

The walls and the crib and the garden–it’s all so lovely!! I ALWAYS painted my rental walls–just painted them white again when we moved–one has to make a home no matter where that home is don’t you think?
So pretty, your talent is amazing!
P.S. and don’t get me started on that gorgeous baby!!

What a gorgeous crib!!!!!
Beautiful bed, but $1000 is nuts! I love your fairy-touches to it.
Congrats on the Etsy!
The garden looks great! I like the “rustic look” in a garden — sticks work great for me.

Finally, someone who not just admits to dumpster diving, but poses for photographic evidence of said dive! Excellent stuff. I love what you did with the little bottles.
