{ spring is in the air }

Hasn't the weather this week been refreshing? I can feel spring peeking from around the corner, I swear. As you can see, I got some new beads the other week. I'm really into turquoise and chartreuse right now. I also got some really sweet bird charms, so stay tuned for some spring-y loveliness!

{ where to begin? }

Where in the world to begin? Ok, first of all, welcome new followers. :) Glad to have you here. I hope you find it's a good place to be. My two days "off" this week were busier than any others. What's up with that? Does this happen to you guys as well? A fun trip to Homestead, Florida actually turned up some really good finds at a huge antique store. Don't worry, you shall see some treasures from the trip soon... in the form of upcycled jewelry, of course. (Ok, so maybe not much is new).

Took a trip to Michael's yesterday to stock up on beading supplies. Got some Korean jade, turquoise, howlite, and natural shell beads, as well as some sweet birdie charms. Stay tuned to for new items. ;)

On a very exciting note, I had my 50th sale on Etsy! Whoohoo. I am happy to say that I finally sold the Vanessa Yoyo Necklace. She really deserved a good home. More yoyo necklaces in the making... I just won't sleep, that's all.

Oh yes, I almost forgot. Can you believe I got this bracelet for 95% off... I'm pretty proud of myself.

And, I've decided to do another giveaway as soon as I reach 300 fans on Facebook! So tell your friends to join so you can all enter to win! That's all for now!

{ etsy seller spotlight }

So a few weeks ago I found this amazing new (to me) seller on Etsy. BuyHand is a line of handmade (of course!) crocheted washcloths, adorable Mary Jane slippers, and other awesome accessories like hats and scarves from vintage patterns - how cool! The bright colors are really nice and they look sooo soft. Enjoy!

{ much love xoxox }

FYI: There is a lot of love in the air. I want to thank each and every one of you who has added my shop to their favorites. One of my favorite features of Etsy.com is the 'Favorites' section where you can 'heart' certain shops or items in a shop. And thank goodness for Craftopolis which generates awesome calendars like this and lets sellers know when they have been featured in treasuries. I'm so feelin' the love...

{ i caught the craftitis bug }

So a few days ago I received some fabulous buttons from Etsy seller craftitis. I was so happy to get a great mix of vintage buttons in such fun, bright colors! As you know from my crafting habits - I love buttons - but there were so many vintage styles in the mix from craftitis I had never seen before! I've been having a lot of fun mixing them with buttons that have been in my stash for a while now. Be sure to check out her shop on Etsy!

Stay tuned... More new items coming soon!
