Post 166: Bragging

So, I received a FANTASTIC little surprise package from my BFF Leanne in the mail last week!

I think this pincushion is SO adorable! It is so tiny!
A lovely bundle of fabric and lace. I already have plans to use it for some little bits for baby!Lastly, the most fantastical fortune teller/cootie catcher ever! It has me giggling to myself for quite awhile. :DAnd, Since I have been promising to share the house treasures with you here is the first of many. The old owners left us this gem. It is a record player/radio in SUPER condition. Not even a scratch (except some small scuffs along the bottom). It has two working tube speakers which sound better than any stereo I have ever heard. I only wish I could play MP3s or CDs on it hehe. I do have quite the record collection so i still have selection. But you really don't understand the quality of sound that comes out of this dinosaur! I love it. You must also take note of the groovy green shag carpet (covered in wall paper scraps). I will be sharing more about my trip to 1968 later! ;p

Post 115: Woot Woot

It is Friday! Aaaaaand Leanne of Folk Craft has posted a lovely little interview about ME! So check it out!

Post 101: Another GIVEAWAY @ Folk Craft!

I. AM. EXHAUSTED.
And have to pry my eyes open just to type ....I have spent the entire day trying to organize my mess...A few months ago I moved my work space from the guest room to the office/living room. I did this thinking that I would be able to keep my eye on the pup and not feel so secluded from the rest of the house when I was working on things.... Bad idea. Don't even try it. My house was looking like a tornado! Soooo, after spending several hours on cleaning and organizing I started working on the fam's Christmas gifts. (which gets me soooo excited) Aaaanywho I think my house is back to square one...I really need to work on this...


Oh and now the reason I started this post in the first place...Not only do I have a GIVEAWAY buuuut my BFF Leanne at Folk Craft is also having a giveaway! This lovely plaid clutch is perfect for fall!

It is so easy to enter! And soooo worth it!

With that I say gooooood night.

Post 72: Happy September

I CANNOT believe it is already September (and I can't say I am happy about it). Summer came and went far too fast for my liking...Anywho, as you know, I just got back home from vacation buuuut I still cannot wait for Labor Day weekend. Although there are no big plans in the making... just spending some good quality time with the man. We are still trying to decide if we want to make the 10 hour drive to visit family or just stick around here and attend the the Peoria Blues Festival...which sounds like a perfect weekend to me.

Anyway enough rambling, I came here to let you all know that my friend Leanne from Folk Craft revamped her other shop, Sugar Pickle, annnnnd today is the grand re-opening!!

The banner kind of gives it away but she Sugar Pickle is now dedicated to providing us with lovely earth friendly items (at awesome prices IMO)...Fantastic isn't it?

Recycled Wallet by Sugar Pickle: $6.00

Hand Knit Wash Cloth by Sugar Pickle : $4.50

Post 68: Giveaway at Folk Craft!!

My lovely friend Leanne of Folk Craft is having another Giveaway! Just take a look at these Sweet Barrettes!

I say it is totally worth Entering! Aaaand, if I were YOU I would also take a look at her Etsy, Folk.

With that said I have 3 (yes 3!!) days until I am on the beautiful sandy beaches of South Carolina, I am so excited I cant hardly contain myself. That, or I have consumed entirely too much coffee this morning. But, probably a mix of the two. So, now I must use this energy to mow down my weed garden in the back yard before the neighbors start to complain...
