Wow! See what came in the Mail!

This weekend I received the most wonderful surprise from my friend Rhonda at FigTreeBoutique on Etsy!

I'd gone to the mailbox and there was a package for me!

Beautiful Coasters from FigTreeBoutique... in use already!

See what I got! What a surprise! I'd been lusting after these chocolate reversible coasters for a while. What a sweetie! She said that she knew I liked them (probably from my repeated constant comments) and thought she'd send them to me.

She's got so many innovative things in her shop. Among them are some eco-friendly reusable sandwich bags like these. Sure beats having to buy sandwich bags over and over again.

I love these flowers

These kitty sandwich bags are so cute!

I never would have thought of making these! Rhonda is so clever, take a peek at her shop and see all the goodies there. It's definitely worth a look!

*Just click on any of the photos to go to that specific listing or click on the FigTreeBoutique link at the top of the post to go directly to her shop.

Thank you so much Rhonda; you made my day!

Saturday Blog Shopper June 19, 2010

Hi everyone! It's time again for Saturday Blog Shoppers!

I'm going to be at the North Asheville Tailgate Market again this Saturday. I'm pretty well prepared, but there always seems to be many more things I remember to do after there is no time left to do them. LOL

Stop by and say Hi if you are in the area. Also take a moment to stop by my Etsy shop.

Again this Saturday's special will be a straight 10% off anything in my store for the entire weekend (both Saturday and Sunday).

I will refund the discount via PayPal or if you like, I can create a special listing for you. Just convo me in Etsy.

At the North Asheville Tailgate Market

I had a jewelry booth at the North Asheville Tailgate Market this past Saturday.

Had a good time, learned a few things and made a few sales as well.

I'll be there again next Saturday. Would love to make a regular thing of it, but I'm happy to be there for these two weekends.

My husband took this photo of me when I wansn't looking. I hate having my picture taken (for obvious reasons) LOL!
Still in the process of setting up... don't know what captured my attention ... although there was a booth selling yummy scones... I should have had photos of those instead.

Greetings!

Another week has gone by and it's time for Saturday Blog Shoppers!

This week I've been so busy preparing for the North Asheville Tailgate Market in which I will be a vendor. I've been trying to work hard and get a lot of stock ready, but life seems to have a funny way of intervening.

First there was the daughter's school project, monthly business report, and relatives visiting from out of town.
Well, Saturday is here; and for good or bad I'm as ready as I'm going to be.

WISH ME LUCK! (I think I'm going to need it)

Peacocks in North Carolina?

There must be something going around in the animal world these last couple of weeks.

My friend at Chiggerbytes Blog (ChiggerHill Cottage) has been visited by a pig lately.

Thought that was a bit unusual until we had a peacock wander into our yard!
OK... this was a first for me. Peacocks are not usually associated with western North Carolina.
He (or she) was happily strolling by inspecting the area... I would have loved to have it stay.
It would have added a bit of panache to our home don't you think?

I'm happy to say I've FINALLY listed the Swirled Pearl Earrings in SILVER! So many of you have asked if I could make these cuties in silver and I finally got off my duff and did!
