Looking for your input...

So I'm working on a few different things.  One of them is some jewelry that you can wear with your outfit to games this fall.  I'm going for something that is beautiful but can still go with a casual outfit of jersey and jeans.  As a USF alum I'm partial to the deep green and gold.  What I need to know is what are your favorite team's colors?  What do you like to accessorize your game day look with?  Necklaces?  Bracelets?  Earrings?  A scarf or cowl to ward off the chill in the air?  Something cute for your hair?

Blowout Sale for the Fourth of July and my Etsyversary!



Two years ago I decided to open a shop on Etsy.  It's been a fun learning experience in not only ecommerce but crafting as well.  I've learned more about crochet, expanded on my jewelry making skills, and even learned to knit.  It's also made me venture out to new ideas and dream up even more ideas that I want to create. 

To celebrate Soozie's Cutie Patooties 2nd birthday on Etsy and the Fourth of July I've decided to have a blowout sale.  So, for all of my readers I'm offering an incredible 40% OFF coupon (BLOWOUT)!

The Inn at Christmas Place

Last year for my sister's birthday we took our Dad to visit family in Virginia.  On the way we stopped in Pigeon Forge so that my Christmas obsessed sister could stop at the Christmas Place.  If you're not familiar with this place, its a one stop wonderland of Christmas.  There's an entire store full of decorations of every shape, size, style, and theme.  Mrs. Claus' Candy Store.  A restaurant named the Patridge and the Pear where it seems like every dish on the menu has either pears, cranberries, or both.  And an entire hotel hosed down with the Christmas theme.





The lobby has the ginormous and gorgeous tree with Santas and poinsettias scattered around.





The Christmas suite with a balcony comes with holiday linens, wreaths everywhere, a fireplace, and your very own Christmas tree.




I think I may have mentioned the wreaths everywhere?


And I really did mean EVERYWHERE...



There's even a Glockenspiel in the second lobby. 




And if posing with the giant Santa isn't enough for that Christmasy feeling you can have a real Santa come and tuck you in at night (I said no thank you, hey you gotta draw the line somewhere).

Some new jewelry and accessories for summer

I've been making new jewelry for the shows that I've been going to lately and I've finally gotten around to taking pictures.  I'd love to hear what you think about them...















Now I just need to find a model for some real life pictures.
