Thank you! Thank you!


To everyone who came out for the Holiday Craftacular! It was fantastic! I had so much fun, met a few new people and just pretty much kept busy all day!
I sold soooo many headbands.. my friend told me "they were the Tickle me Elmo of the Craft World" Hehe! Seriously.. I even sold the one I was wearing on my head! ;)

I have a few errands to run and have to get down to the shop to put it all back together and clean.. I left it in a mess!

Happy Monday..
(here is a pic of my display. The aisles were narrow and it was hard to get a great pic.!)

Have a great day! xo!

The holiday Craftacular....


is this Saturday! yikes!!! I have so much to do.. so with that being said I will be slightly absent from my blog this week! The shop will be closed Saturday November 28... but you can come and see me at the Madison Masonic center downtown Madison 10-5 (corner of Wisconsin & E. Johnson st.) I am so excited.. it is my favorite show of the year!

The shop will also be closed Thanksgiving day & we will open a little early on "black Friday" 9-4. I dispise "black Friday" and all that it stands for.. but I do have a retail store so I am giving in a little.. the best part is my prices are great ALL year round, but maybe I will have a little treat for those who choose to stop & shop downtown! ;)

I wish you all the happiest of Thanksgivings.. Mine will be spent back home w/ my family! I have so much to be thankful for!


Have a great week! xoxo!

Owls ♥



I have a new artist/crafter and she lives in Oshkosh! I met her at gallery walk last month and she was wearing the most beautiful wrap! She also makes these cute owls, monsters and the cutest coffee cozies! They would make the greatest gifts!

"Buy handmade for the holidays!"

Have a great day! xo!

My newly *redecorated* dining room...






This has been on my to do list for almost 4 years now... Our house was not decorated or painted in the best colors when we bought it! This cute little house has sooo much potential and REALLY I do LOVE it!

My husband has been working out of town ALOT and I thought I would surprise him by painting the kitchen/ dining room and redecorating! I loooove it sooo much! Do you recognize the paint color??? (It was paint leftover from my shop in Oregon st.)

This all started do to those crazy ADORABLE retro chairs I found at a local thrift store.. you see I am very partial to granny furniture! ;) So here is a little peak of my dining room.. it is pretty small and challenging to photograph.

Have a great day! xo!

handmade for the holidays.....



I made some new ornaments that will be going to the Craftacular with me next weekend. They are already available at the shop.. $5.00 each! I also have some with cute glitter letters that make them a really cute personalized gift! ( I am trying to have a few of ea. letter but I can't make any promises!)

I have had a busy day... a photo shoot for a local magazine that I will tell you about a little later! ;) I also did a little thrifting, cleaned my sewing room (so I can walk in there! Lol) and I am getting ready to sew up some new skirts!

Hope your Monday is off to a great start.. I am off to pick up my kids from school!

Happy Monday! xo!
