Hands To Work

Etsy Happyness

I have confessed in earlier posts about my love for Etsy.  It's fun to look at the listings as some of them can be quite odd.  But just when I am sad that nothing has caught my eye, a treasure pops up.  Let me share a few. 

Gina is a letter girl.  She makes stationary, beautiful scrapbook pages and on her etsy site, she sells hand lettered address stamps.  They are AWESOME.  She gave me permission to share some images from her blog.  You will want to buy from her, I promise!

 

 

Gina is having a sale on her stamps right now at etsy.  Go buy some!

Another fun girl is My Market Stall.  Look at this baby hat!

I can't stand it.  I think that is the cutest hat ever.  She has strawberries, apples, leeks, pumpkins.  Super duper cuteness!

Jewelry is a weakness for me.  I love Organikx's shop.  Her jewelry is just beautiful!  Like this: and this:

That's all the fun I have time for today.  Now get back to work!

  
   

 
 

Do You Etsy?

I have found another great way to waste my time and empty my wallet...a fun little place called Esty.  I LOVE it.  Here are some of the most beautious things I have purchased:

  A cool skirt pattern from The Needle Shop .

  Vintage bangles from See Jayne Knit.  These are part of Elisabeth's birthday present.  Shhh, don't tell!

Look at this beautiful yarn from  Wool Candy.  Yummy colors!

    

Found this lovely vintage blouse for Courtney (who hasn't worn it yet).  Isn't it so pretty? You can find lots of cool things from  graceandartantiques.  

That's all for now.  Since I hadn't posted in so long thought I would tempt you to spend a little money with me.  I will try to post some new pictures of Helen if I don't kill her first!  She is trying my patience.

I ate at Clyde's!

 Have you ever heard of Clyde's?  Guess it's a restaurant chain and each one has it's own theme.  Last Friday night Chuck and I went with two friends (Kevin and Brenda) to the one in Broadlands called Willow Creek Farm.  Oh man, was it the coolest restaurant I've ever been to!  Above is a private dining room called The Samuel French room.  

  

This is the room where we ate.  I had a filet ( my standard restaurant fare), Chuck had the most beautiful crab cakes, we had appetizers and desert.  YUM!  If you live in the area, GO!

Happy Monday
