Sunny Smiles!

I've just got to say, this one made me smile instantly!  I LOVE the blue and yellow combination!

  Look at all the great choices!  From Nikes, to a wallet, and I just gotta have that Dart Frog!  He could live in my house any day!  

 And look--that apron (for happy cooking) totally matches my dishcloths!  There's even a blue pitcher for the milk, and the banana will go on a bowl of cereal.

 Lots of other goodies to brighten your day, too!

Reflections

Still rather speechless tonight.  I've spent the past 24+ hours praying and grieving for the devastation in Oklahoma; as I'm sure the rest of you are, too.  Most of us cannot even begin to fathom what they are experienceing right now.  If we at home can feel such intense emotions just seeing it from a distance, we know their reality is just of unspeakable maginitude.

The houses, businesses, schools, and hospitals with so much destruction.  Our hearts go out to each person, each family, near and far affected by this storm.

And yet there is rejoicing to be heard, for those lives that were spared, for their spirit of staying strong.  It was said best on a simple sign, "We'll be Okay."  

Yes, OK, we believe you will be.  And we will carry you in our hearts, praying for you without ceasing,

Sweet, Soothing Pink and Gray....

My Tuesday Treasury features one of my Travel Tissue Holders, sporting a cute little French Poodle, and the Eiffel Tower!

Loving the softness, the calming and soothing sensations of this color combination, pink and gray.  I think I want a room in my house in these colors...but then I'd have to either repaint a room, or add on to the house!

Actually, my office is a sweet shade of mocha or cocoa that has a hint of pink in it. I love being in that room....  (Pictures to come in the future.)

Gray has established itself as a neutral, and I'm seeing lots of great room makeovers with gray as the main color.

Does anyone have any makeovers they'd like to share in either of those colors?   What about other products in your Etsy stores?

Orange You Glad It's Monday?

 

 I just love Etsy's Treasury Feature, don't you?  

I love checking out other sellers products, which always leads to spending time in their stores, exploring items from around the globe!  It's so much fun to see the creativity in each shop.  

And there are so many ways to do a Treasury--by product color, or style, or by a mood or seasons of the year.  

My hand knit dishcloths are featured a lot in Treasuries, because of the colors. I love to see what else they are joined with to create a collection.

  So, what about you?  Which of your products are featured most often?

Treasury Gratitude

Hello everyone!  It has been way too long since my last post, but here I am, once again.  We had a busy winter, with a wedding in November, our youngest daughter.  Then one of our sons left for Basic Training in the military, mid-winter; and we traveled for graduation in April.  And now, summer is well upon us!  

I am committed to posting regularly now, and hoping to be an encouragement to those of you still working to balance life, and being creative! I'm so excited to see the adventure waiting ahead for each of us, and to share the joy in the journey.

Today I'm sharing a Treasury from Etsy that features one of my Waverly Pillow Covers.  It's so encouraging to me when I open my store each day, and see that someone has chosen one of my pillow covers out of the hundreds of thousands listed on Etsy alone.  That is an honor!   So, here is my thank you to those people who take the time each day to list a Treasury--your gift is greatly appreciated!
