snow day...finally

Last night about an hour before I went to bed, I looked outside, and to my great surprise, there was a light dusting of snow, and more was falling! This morning was even more exciting when I awoke to more than a dusting, but an actual accumulation! Being a kid at heart when it comes to snow, the first thing I did was put on my shoes and coat so I could go walking in my beautiful winter wonderland! And of course I took some pictures since it may be a while before I see snow again.

don't play with fire

My husband told me this morning of a woman who lives down the street from where I used to whose house was burned to the ground because she was singeing fabric with a candle (the technique for those ever popular poppy flowers) in her bed. Please have a bowl of water nearby if you must burn or singe anything!

newly made favorites

As bad as it may sound, I won't be upset at all if the bracelet doesn't sell, that way I can keep it for myself! The one problem with vintage: you may not ever see it again.

so much for the snow, but color me lucky

"At least an inch of snow followed by ice." Yeah right. I'd like to know where Lynchburg, Virginia's meteorologists go to school. Apparently not a credible one. Thanks to global warming, the only snow I see now is in pictures or on TV. Rain, however, is ever-present. So, the last two days have been wet, but not white as expected. But I'm not too upset, oh no, I've been on the front page four times since the 23rd and here are the latest screenshots! The whistle necklace (to the right) sold out not ten minutes after it hit the front page, hip hip hooray!

well, slap me silly

Etsy admin, I just can't thank you enough for including my shop in the gift guides and on the front page. Just when I'm thinking the slow down of business is getting a little scary, you give me not one, not two, but FOUR pick-me-ups! Two front pages and two items in gift guides! My lace necklace sold in no time, and they must have been popular because I sold three of them this weekend!
