Featured Etsy Items - 9/6/09

I've decided after last week's post that I will keep my Sunday post with 3-5 featured items vs. just one featured store. I'd like to feature as many other Etsians as possible and as I'm getting more and more followers it would be impossible to feature everyone. I'll be picking my items based upon what I have selected as favorites from my follower's shops and occasionally a few that may not follow but I would just die to be able to buy their items.

I hope you enjoy this week's selection. I have chosen BRACELETS

The first featured bracelet comes from OurSilverLining and is called Linking the Yellow. I love the way it has a classic look to it. I could see wearing it with a classic black dress on a night out. It is currently on sale for just $25.00

The next selection is available from AlmostHeavenDesign. I was in heaven when I first saw this bracelet! Oh how I wish I had money in my PayPal account!! Picture yourself on a beautiful summer day walking through the surf on the beach wearing a simple white sundress with this bracelet as your only accessory.

Our 3rd bracelet is a cute Motherhood picture charm bracelet made by BurningMoon and an extremely reasonable price of $11.25. Remember, Christmas will be here sooner than we think and this would make a fabulous gift for any mom with a picture of her "favorite" child already in it.

Oohhh, my favorite color, green! Check out this Moss Agate & Silver bracelet that is a brand new creation from Deelights I almost squealed with "delight" when she listed it earlier this week! Hmmm, my birthday is tomorrow...who could I get to buy it for me?? LOL!!

Our last item isn't a bracelet, but I wanted to show it off. It is my new Glow in the Dark Skull & Crossbones Halloween Ornament. I'm disappointed that I can't get my camera to get a good picture of it glowing because it is totally cool! If you follow the link to the posting there is a picture of it glowing. The best part of that is, I could use the camera on my cell phone to get the glowing effect, but not my more expensive digital camera with multiple settings.

Hope everyone enjoys the last long weekend of the summer! :)

Boo Hoo - My Sister Has Moved

In about 2 hours time from when I'm typing this my oldest sister (and the only one that speaks to me) will be officially driving on her cross-country move with her family 1,900 miles away.

Thank god for e-mail, blog postings and cell phone unlimited nights & weekends!

Since my sister doesn't like good-byes I will simply say "I love you and I'll see you soon!".

Remember Lisa, no melt-downs allowed. :)

TREASURY - "Buy It Now"

I just found out my "Sunshine Smiles" Cross Stitch Kit has been featured in a fabulous Treasury by Christie of the Christie's Cottage BNS group. Check it out!!

Work in Progress Wednesday - 9/2/09

I promised I would post at least every-other Wednesday what I'm working on, so here is today's feature.

My "Love is Love" piece that I showed two weeks ago is finished and posted to my Etsy shop. Not only do I have the pattern available, I have also framed my finished piece and am selling that.

I unfortunately haven't done anything more with the White Tulips or the model for "My Christmas Wish to You" so no new pictures on those.

I have been spending my time working on some Christmas ornaments I'll be selling in my shop. The picture below doesn't give a lot to look at yet, but I'll have a bunch of stars that will all be done in different metallic threads along with other ornaments. I'd like to have a few of them made prior to posting and am hoping to have enough done to start listing between September 15th and October 1st. The holiday theme right now seems to be focusing on Halloween, so I think I have a little time.
I will take custom and advance orders if you are interested in buying some. If so, just drop me a line and let me know what you are looking for.

Until the next post - Happy Stitching!!
