I didn’t plan this, but the most recent additions to my etsy shop speak all about what’s going on with my life right now. They are all made from vintage cards (flash and game) and I could just eat them all up!
There’s the Florida playing card notebooks that remind me that our three years [...]

Pinch-proof bow ties are now in the shop.

I am so excited to announce my summer line of bow ties, madras! (and some gingham thrown in for good measure). Madras is sunny and juicy just like summer. I hope they can adorn the necks of picnic and beach goers this summer…kahki shorts, leather sandals, and a madras bow tie…so delicious! [...]

The delightful folks at Etsy had their second annual baby shower last month, and I was one of the Moms that recieved gifts from amazing sellers! Here are the super groovy things that I’ve received in the mail:

I know that I’ve got lots to spill- since I’ve last posted I’ve gotten lost in Savannah, GA, been almost stranded along a highway in South Carolina, and been part of a taste test for Yoplait. More on all of that later (when I’ve sorted through the delicious photos). This morning I am [...]

All stockings are $15. Regularly $24-$32
Free shipping anywhere. yay!
I’m sleepy (and I didn’t even eat any turkey!) so I’m going to take a little nap before I go out and take [...]

Some strange twist of nature/luck/karma has landed an item of mine in etsy’s blog, The Storque, three times in the last 2 days. Seriously. Since there are thousands of active sellers this is quite an honor. =) Can you spot my stocking, apron, or bow tie here, here, or here? =) [...]

Ok- so I have a weakness for anything holiday. I like apple cider and Christmas music and cinnamin smelling pine cones. It’s no wonder then that I have had a love affair for several years with the Gap holiday sweater. They are to me the perfect expression of the beauty and warmth [...]
