A Breath of SPRING

Pretty boxes for storing goodies!


SCENTED Candles in a Yummy ALMOND Fragrance!

I believe the weather is FINALLY going to co-operate and let SPRING in! This time of year is soooo inspiring. With new-ness all in bloom, the warmer temps, and all the gorgeous colors that are in sight. One cannot help but be inspired by all that is SPRING! It's a good thing! Which leads me to the Queen of all GOOD! Did anyone catch MARTHA this morning? I've recorded it since I was out at the Flea Market all morning and I'm watching it now! Great to see so many artist featured.

I will post my treasures later. For now here are the pics of some additions to my Etsy shop!

~Have a wonderful weekend!~

Eggs Eggs Eggs

Added these little eggs to my Etsy shop. They feature some of my Vintage fabric flowers and trims as well as having a fabulous aroma to them! I made some like these years ago for my little grandmother when I was younger. Brought back so many sweet dear memories while I was putting these together! Spring has SpRuNg!

Hope you all are having a nice week!

Flea Market Treasures

I have long been a collector of, well, stuff! Junk to some, pretties to others. Little trinkets, old china, chippy shelves and bits. Anything well worn and loved. In getting into the Spring mode, we have been clearing out closets, and drawers, boxes that have been stashed away and forgotten, and clearing out room for a less is more feel. Well, that's what my hubby thinks-

I do have lots of things that I do need to move on, and that's where you're in luck! I will continue my junkin' expeditions, but at times one needs to let go of some things that would be more suited and loved in another ones home! I love the idea of a Flea Market online. I have run across several of these over the years. Many have certain days of the week they put their precious finds up for all those to see. I like that idea, but it's not always likely that every week I would want to part with my junk- I mean Pretties! he he~

So, I will however, here and there, be posting some finds to share. If you are interested in anything you see let me know. I occasionaly list items at my Ebay shop. I will have pics here first - the morning of, and then that night the items will be listed for auction, giving my blog friends a first look! Here are just a few of the things I will be putting up later tonight!

Thanks so much for your continued support and coming by to visit to say hello!

Have a wonderful week!~

Easter Good-ness

Some new items have made their way down the Bunny Trail and into my Etsy shop! Found some fabulously-gorgeous White Vintage Embossed Wallpaper to make some tussies with. Other goodies include some boxes with Easter Toppers, nest, and picks. Also, Spring Journals are in production. Come by and take a look. A few items are listed now and I hope to have more items added for Spring and the Easter Season soon!

Happy LOVE Day

Here are some pics of some goodies going to my 4 year old's preschool for a Valentine's Party. My 4th grader no longer has school parties- No exchange of little valentine -fold over cards, or little hand written notes to a friend. I know we still did that when I was 10. No more though- So I get to still have fun and get little valentines ready for my "baby"
Here he signed the back- We had 25 cards to make- He got tired after autographing only two cards! I secretly kept one ( he he! )

He just learned to write his name, and it is so sweet how much energy and effort it took. It was a valentine to myself!

On a different note, Spring goodies will be in My Etsy Shop starting Friday! Love this time of year- Fresh, new starts!
((hugs!))

All remaining Valentine Goodies in the shop are now on SALE up to 50% OFF!! To insure delivery for the big day, SALE runs through this weekend!

Been busy with Valentine Orders this weekend Lots of tussies, Lunch Box Albums, and planners- Which reminds me~ I have a GiveAway coming up so check back!!

Make a Wish.....

I picked up these Star Shaped Paper Mache boxes awhile back and knew right away what I wanted to do, just finding the time to get things done is always the challenge! I had to of course do one for the Birthday Boy as I have two!

Will do a girl version as well! There is a 10 page Chipboard Album tucked away inside! I have this and some Fabulous little Valentine goodies in the shop!

Have a Wacky Wednesday!

sweet friend ~ sweet gift

My sweet little friend Cathy is a doll! She recently picked out a Tussie from my Etsy Shop that she liked and I was more than happy to give her. She suprised me this morning with these goodies. So many lovelies! This litle Vintage Book is filled with love quotes and victorian illustrations to inspire ones love letter writing and perhaps some valentine paper piecings to come!

Also, lots of old vintage book pages and this Fabulous Hand stiched trim that has these precious hearts! LOVE THAT! I have been trying to convience her to do more of her wears! She is a Fabulous little creator in her own right.

Thanks so much Cathy- You made my day!

Love is in the air......

Been working on some Valentine goodies for my Etsy Shop. Here's a sneak peak of an album I've been doing. Hope all are having a great weekend-

doings.............

This is what I did today. I know- It still needs some tweeking, and the light was awful when I took this pic, but oh well- What about you? What were you up to? Wanta share? Leave a post with a link to your creativness.

Oh and this is ER night- Yes I still watch that show. Gotta go finish getting homework completed, papers written and dinner done so I can get these people around here to bed and mommy can have some quite time (he he!)

Have a great night all!

Geaux Tigers!!!

Hello All! Hope everyone is off to having a great week! We certainly are! Kid's went back to school today after being out for nearly 3 weeks, Husbands' back at work, which is great on both sides- I get my house back and he gets out of me asking him to do this or that project!! ha ha, the weather hit a nice 75 today and the Tigers are playing tonight at the Super Dome going for the National Championship------GEAUX TIGERS!!!!

I have added a few little Valentine goodies in my Etsy Shop- Just a little something to get in the mood =)
Happy Monday!

Wishing you all a Happy New Year!

...and I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight....

Well, we are off to smalltown(san marcos,tx) We have about an 8hr drive, but it will be so nice to be home again! The car is busting at every inch, Christmas carols are on the radio, sugar cookies and chocolate sweeties to eat, little ones fighting in the back seat. Threatning to "turn this car around" OH the Holidays!!
It will be here and gone in that funny way that it always does. Remember to slow down and enjoy a moment or two~ The warm hugs from loved ones, hot chocolate and a glowing fireplace, those ever redundant carols we all know, the smile of delight on a child's face as they open that gift they have been begging for days to get into!!

Enjoy your Holiday and may the New Year bring health and happiness to you all!

Merry Christmas!~

Have a Wonderful Day!

Merry and Bright and FREE OFFER

OMGosh~ It is almost here- I still have soooooooooo much to do. Are you like me and still have more to do than not? I have been up till 3am each night this week! Mostly with orders that will find their way under someone's shinny tree this season! I have been able to get alittle shopping done, mostly online. There are some FaBuLoUs Sites around here. Etsy, of course has been a great source! I love giving handmade! It brings up those warm feelings of childhood. Those little school-age gifts that were so pure and sweet. Little handmolds with the date and funny little ashtrays for parents who didn't smoke. How excited we were to bring them home, wanting to have them opened right away, only having to wait with
such anticipation for Christmas Day.
In the shop I still have lots of little "lovelies" for all those last minute-rs! Check out the Tussie Mussie Section, Free offer on all TUSSIES! But I will only be able to take orders until the 16th- I will be out of my studio after the 19th- we leave for Texas that night. I will be checking in while we are gone, but I hope like many of you,I will be spending the time AWAY from the computer, and with my beautiful family! Hope to get some colder weather while we are away- It's been in the upper 70's around here, not what you'd call a White Christmas!

Have a Wonderful Night!

Christmas Cheer

Thought I'd show off a little of what I was up to this weekend~ Christmas time is my favorite! I am not a traditional Red/Green girl- Snowy Whites and Aged Creams, Old Sage Green, Clay, Chippy Golds and Silver~

I have long been a collector of old ornaments and decos from flea markets, shows and even garage sales for years. I love the sense of these items having once been loved be someone else and part of Christmas Past! It surely warms my heart and my home~

Holiday SALE!

To Kick off the the MONTH, This Weekend I am offering a Buy One Get One Half Off Sale on all Planners!! So if you need to get organized or need a special gift come by my ETSY Shop for details! Many other Sweet Holiday items available.

Have a Happy Weekend!

The Few... The Proud.....

This morning my family received the news that my 18 yr. young cousin ( My mother's brother's son) is leaving for Iraq Dec. 23rd. This brave, daring boy enlisted just a few months ago- this will be his first tour. My little Mimi is devastated to say the least- This is her youngest grandchild of 7. I use to babysit and change his diapers!
Blake is a noble, strong, dashing, humorous, smart, loveable guy- He is pumped to go. Though, he has hidden this enthusiasm from the women in this family- as to not upset them I suppose, and put them in an inconsolable, crying, fetal position state as they are at this time- I am Super Proud of him- though the worry and fear are overwhelming- This will be my 2nd cousin that has left for duty since this war began. Joe, a Sniper for the U.S. Army, arrived home safe 9 months ago. His Father served in Veitnam and is MIA over the waters of the Bamuda Triangle for over 30 years now.
Please keep my family and this Fine, Young Man Blake in your prayers.

Have a Blessed Thanksgiving!
