Buzz

I just wanted to put a little bug in everyone's ear. Actually the imagery of that is pretty disgusting. Ok, I just wanted to tell you something exciting. In the next week or so I'm going to re-structure this blog and my etsy shop. I'm doing some major work this week and creating some new cards for Christmas. I'm also going to be joining some other local artists in a store for independent artists. It's located in the University Mall in Chapel Hill. It's right next to A Southern Season (favorite) and I'm so excited. Be sure to check back here for updates!

I want to thank those who've supported me this far in my art endeavors and who've showed their support by purchasing my goods. I can't tell you how wonderful it feels to know that my cards are making it into homes and hands all over! Thanks everyone!!

I'm sending love, can you feel it? I'm just in a loving mood....watch out ;)

Link Love

Our sweet little blog was linked on Bonnie Forkner's blog today! I am so blushing at the idea that someone other than my loving family and friends reads our blog! It does make me feel a little like when someone shows up unannounced at your home and you're quite aware of the undies on the drying rack in the guest room, the dirty dishes lounging in the sink, and the Foster tumbleweeds rolling in all corner of the room. I might need to spruce up the blog a bit.

I'm just proud to be among some of the other blogs that she listed as part of her post today. See her post here.

Anyway, I hope everyone has a wonderful day and weekend!

Happy Birthday Mere!!

Etsy Picks: November




1. With This Ring ring bearer bowl: My best friend is getting married and so I'm kind of in wedding mode. I love the simplicity of this, so sweet. See it here.
2. Large Magnolia Wreath: Just in time for the holidays. This is a Southern staple and my favorite kind of wreath. See it here.
3. Ethnic Jacquard Necklace/Scarf: So versatile and I love the colors for fall. This can be worn so many ways. See it here.
4. November Party Poms: Tissue pom poms, need I say more? These colors are perfectly November and the shapes are so fun and whimsical. I want these in my house all the time, not just because my life is a party. See them here.
Fall is wonderful for so many reasons. The crisp air, the falling leaves, and the hope of bright holidays to come. This year our leaves have been exceptional. I think because we've had such warm days and cool nights. I've caught myself daydreaming while looking at them. To me, fall and the turning leaves remind me of a simpler time. A time before so many distractions. The upcoming holiday season is always my favorite and I can't wait to experience them with my family and friends. God has truly blessed us and I thank Him each day.
Get ready, the Mulling Spices are on the stove and Christmas music is coming!!
I might be listening to Christmas music already. Tee hee....
