Shop Update

I hope that you had a delightful holiday!  We had a wonderful time with friends and family -- such a blessing to visit with loved ones and share such fun times over the holiday season.  We are still enjoying the last few days off from school before our hectic schedules start up again.

I'm just popping in with a quick shop update.  I'm seriously overstocked -- seriously! -- and so I will be listing items like mad over the next few weeks.  I've also put together some new lace goodie bags, pictured above and below -- each has 12 yards of lace!  I've got a bag of pinks and creams, one that has lavender and yellow, and one with creams, blues and silver.  Lots of fun lace for crafting!

As the year winds down, I've been thinking a lot about the new year, and my resolutions, both personal and business-related.  I've got an idea for a new direction for my long-ignored Dishy Vintage Weddings shop.  I'll have more news on that soon, but here's a hint of what I've got in mind:

What does the new year have in store for you?  I hope it is full of joy and good health!

Happy Creating!

New Pretties in the Shop and Other News

 

Happy  Friday!  I hope you've had a great week.  I'm just popping in to post a few pics of some new items that I've added to the shop recently, and share a few updates as well as news about an upcoming giveaway.   First, the pretties:

And, in the Dishy Vintage Weddings shop, I've started listing some wonderful pieces that were salvaged from a great vintage wedding dress from the 1960's:

 
In other news, I've decided to discontinue my newsletter through Constant Contact, primarily because I rarely sent one out, but also because the service was expensive (especially since I wasn't using it every month).  I really appreciate those of you who signed up to be on my mailing list.  If you'd still like to keep up with blog/shop news, I hope you'll check in here, or on Facebook, where I will try to post often.

I've also decided to close my Artfire studio, at least for now, to focus more fully on my Etsy shops.  (I did some "deep thinking" about the business while we were on our California adventure, and decided it was time for some streamlining.)  

Anyway, with that said, I think it's time for a giveaway!  Check back on Monday for pics and to find out how to enter!

Have a great weekend -- mine is going to include margaritas!  :)

Cuteness Alert!

 

I have to share another shop update with you today, because Kari has been busy adding lots of our fantastic Round Top finds to her shop.  If you're in need of a gift for Mother's Day, she's got lots of darling hankies listed, with more on the way!  (The heart hankies are soooooo cute -- I'm still having trouble parting with them.) 

She's also got more fantastic vintage fabric listings, including a favorite from my own stash that I finally decided to let go of:

This sweet fabric is flocked!!  I love it so much.  But that's not all:

Kari is also now adding vintage patterns to her shop, like this, super groovy pattern:

Check them all out in her Etsy shop Pixie Dust Linens!
