It’s been too long. The shop sat neglected, empty, and very sad looking … for too long. I’ve had many of these things in the works for what seems like forever … a few things just didn’t work out the way I’d envisioned (hand dyed scarves with lace edging … how cute would that have been?) Sometimes … I flop … it’s all about the experiment.  Thankfully that doesn’t happen often but … it goes with the territory of being a creator. It’s all good! I learn what doesn’t work! :)

I had hoped to have this update in place well in advance of Mother’s Day so you could gift these beautiful items to your mama … but … my role as mama took over … I got behind … better late than never!

Anyway, the shop is back in business and chock full of sweet goodies! A couple of new pendants, a single charm bracelet (hand painted), one piece of original art, leather bohemian style bracelets with a lace imprinted ring I made out of clay (and incidentally would look awesome with a few layers of other simple beaded bracelets – ran out of time to make those!), henna inspired porcelain pieces, and my favorite … several tea-towels that I hand painted … a few with my own hand carved stamps and others with beautiful wood block stamps!! They turned out so cute. I love all of them!

Go see!! There’re all there in the shop!  Even if it’s too late for Mother’s Day, many of these items would be awesome teacher gifts as well! Just 5 weeks left of school!! Yikes!

Up-cycled from t-shirts, tights, and sweaters … these are one of a kind! They’re perfect for work days at the computer in a drafty house … just a light extra layer to keep things cozy but not bulky. Inspired by Valentines … they are whimsical, colorful, and just a little sassy.

Go to the shop and check them out!

I’m thrilled that the gifts purchased from the shop will be benefiting families in need through Compassion International. We are up to an $82 gift which I will put towards several income producing gifts supporting families in developing countries. I’ll report back after Christmas day with a final number. Thank you for supporting my small business and families in need!! The holiday listings are almost sold out but there are still a few items left!!  While I can ship gifts out right away, I can’t guarantee Christmas delivery – you can always print a picture!!  Last call before Christmas!

Head on over for some fun, cute, practical, and affordable stocking stuffers, teacher gifts, mother, sister, cousin gifts. There’s a little something for everyone! {Links to the shop are also to the left of this blog in those grey tabs, or in the menu above.}

The adorable crochet flower pins make great stocking stuffers or teacher gifts or a little somethin’ somethin’ to embellish your winter wardrobe. The travel mugs and magnets are great for teachers too! The fingerless gloves are back in stock for keeping your fingers free but hands cozy. The jewelry is wonderful for that personal touch, and the blank greeting cards {photography or art} are a great gift for anyone on your list! Gift cards are also available for anyone who wants to let their recipient pick whatever they want.

Remember that 20% of all of my profits from now until December 25th will go towards raising funds for one of these Gifts of Compassion! My goal is to raise enough to funds to provide at least one small business launch for moms in a developing country. I want your gifts to keep on giving.
