Information, Inspiration and Support for Women Entrepreneurs

You can check out the web site and see the article by Liz Fuller , an interview of me... for The Little Things !!! This is the link for More Than We Know .Christmas is almost here and as usual Iam not ready ! So I hope to tie things up this weekend . It will most of all be centered around my parents who are 88 and 95 !! They still live in their own home , but also presents some challenges ! This was their wish so we are trying to respect it ! Hope everyone is enjoying this Christmas season and also to take time to remember what the season is for !! Jesus birth & dont let the gifts and long lists get in the way !!

Merry Christmas !!!

Been awhile !!

I also have been busy making many Christmas lovlies ! I made this little Christmas Scene under a glass dome , I love it because it is all white ( my favorite ) ! I listed this one on Etsy and it sold right away so it is already traveling to it's new owner ! The pink ruffled plate underneath is so soft and sweet !

Life has been so busy , so I have neglected posting anything for awhile ! Do have to share with you a photo of my early Christmas present from my sister. She is a quilter and when she was home for Thanksgiving we exchanged our Christmas gifts early ! This is the sweetest ever shabby linen holder ever ! I love the fabric and everything !

New New New Wall Paper Shoes

New in my Etsy shop ( littlethings1 ) are kits to make your very own wall paper embellished shoes !! How much fun can that be !? You can be as creative as you want . I include six wall paper shoes , two styles of heels and one flat slipper style. Included in the kit also are ribbons , wall paper pieces with florals on to cut out ( that you can glitz up with glitter & such ) , pearls to embellish and trims. The one I have shown as an example has a tea stained tag inside the shoe. I use brown paper for the back and hand stiched the shoes together, that way it forms a pocket to hold a card or treasure !

Making Changes

Yesterday I opened a second Etsy shop !! It will be primarily for all of my supplies , vintage treasures and such ! I am bursting at the seams and I didn't want to overwhelm my other store ( littlethings1 ) with a ton of supplies . So it will take some time to make the transition ! The new shop is SecondTreasures , so stop in for a visit to see what is new!

Front Page Treasury List

My treasury list made it to the front page of Etsy , lasted only a short time !! I love it , but then again I love white !!!

Vintage Tea Cup Swap

I participated in a Vintage Tea Cup Swap on the Vintage Indie site http://vintageindie.typepad.com/vintage_indie/ . My partner was Mary , this is her blog http://www.catmccall.blogspot.com/ . She is a fabulous knitter, her shop on Etsy http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=22700 has beautiful yarn that she actually spins , how wonderful is that !! Makes me want to get back into knitting and crochet again looking at beautiful yarn. My mother taught me how to knit when I was young and I later took up crochet , but put it aside to do other crafts !My package had the most beautiful soft pastel tea cup & saucer , along with a dainty all white embroidered handkerchief ( gotta wipe the drips!) and a some darjeeling & Marionberry tea along with a box of chocolate covered Hazelnuts ..Mmmmm !! Was my first swap that I have ever done and was a lot of fun !! It is fun to get a surprise package full of wonderful things and was a lot of fun gathering up all the goodies to mail ! Thank you so much Mary !!
