As much as we enjoyed this winter we could have not waited for spring to arrive. This will be a Spring; our garden will be adorned with lovely white peonies on May.

Got a new favorite blog on your Google reader? doe-c-doe is a new blog that features her Thrifted finds, her favorite fabrics swatches, vintage embroidery transfers and books each at one day of the week; a tight scheduled to follow, I am inspired to accomplish the same here at this blog.

I promise this is one is a fun tag

I was tagged by The Happy Cactus for my personal desktop tag:

What can I say am a huge Audrey Hepburn fan, and this photo always reminds me to take my breakfast.

Here are the rules: Upload your desktop pic, do a Print Screen; hit the PrtSc button on your keyboard, but instead of printing the screen, open Adobe Photoshop or Paint, then go to Edit and click Paste. Then save the file as .jpeg like you would any other image file. I'm going tagging: Shop66

Where did it go??

Gretchen, who is a etsy & flickr friend bought the girl dinner set from me! I love its new setting, and all her collections. She's a darling

Decor8, a very popular blogger bought this teapot from me. It looks so nice, the idea she had of putting roses instead of tea.

I am so happy to see photographs of some of the things I sold

Hello and happy 2008. One of my favorite times of the year making and reading other resolutions; I'm surprised how some come up with very creative ones.

My own:

2007-12-27T16:03:00.000-08:00

I might sound like a sick person, every time I update this blog it seems like am sick ALL the time and honestly I think this might true. As a child I never got sick (OK, maybe occasionally), and now as an adult I can't do anything but getting sick. Tho to my advantage I got sick after 25Th so now still struggling to get better. This year I have gotten about 5 sinusitis episodes to my own diagnosis and the only thing that will alleviate is getting a sinus surgery. Anyway how, I hope everyone had a nice Christmas day. I am now looking forward to new years.

A Japanese craft book I am dyeing to BUY is LINEN MINIATURE SHOPS. It shows how to make miniatures out of linen from bakery good to toys...

There's always a FIRST TIME

2007-12-08T20:03:00.000-08:00

Hello. I been sick all week that has enable me to list items to my shop. My room is full of boxes of new things to sell and I'm still tempted to shop more. In another note one of my buyers had her shipment damaged, and no insurance. Of course I didn't want her unhappy so I refunded her order. Thought I am not responsible for damages caused by the postal office. This will be the first time I ever had anything broken and I have been selling for awhile on etsy and eBay.

Snow and Bambi at seven weeks

Looking back at October when I first brought home Snow and only six weeks old how much she has grown makes me imagine how big Bambi (snow's brother) has gotten, I miss him very much...

Helen from Sanfran67; who is very talented bought a deer from me awhile ago. The deer traveled to London and is now working as a prop for sanfran's artwork.

The Dateline is Dec 1, 2007, and I will notify you and don't worry I have your shipping information with me. and no this isn't going to be a prize that can be found at the nearby dollar store, I promise!

The odds of winning are more likely as one is current participant

2007-11-16T10:31:00.000-08:00

Oh my goodness, all six little deers I had on etsy sold faster than cupcakes. I hope they all find great homes. I have been slacking and I still have not listed more items so that still on my list; I only have about 7 items for still sale! ^_^

To-Do

2007-11-14T18:04:00.000-08:00

For tomorrow:

2007-11-12T14:21:00.000-08:00

I love making lists, so here's the list of supplies I need to buy:

***Wrapping a Pitcher was harder than it looked, it took me awhile before I was sure it was enough to keep it intact upon arrival. *_* as said "If you can shake it, then we can brake it" -USPS

I calculated shipping $8 for priority mail its probably more, but oh well!

The NEW

2007-11-09T15:42:00.000-08:00

I think I may have reached the limit of too many chipped, broken or deteriorated items such as teacups with missing handles sitting on the back of my cupboard almost hiding from embarrassment. A care bear mug from the 80s that is broken in half but still in sight, and the more than occasional chipped plates and drinking glasses that I can't seem to repudiate. Stained embroidered pillowcases all smelling of grandma.

Maybe I haven't done enough to embrace my grandmothers favorite pastimes; crocheting, embroidering, sewing to know how-to. This anthropologie throw that is said to have micked the falling snow with its crochet flowers reminds me of an earlier throw of my childhood only it was done in more colors. don't know where it remains....

MUGS!

ART

PASTEL KITCHEN DISHES

BLUE PITCHER

ALL 100% VINTAGE

I'm working on listing more items, the weather here hasn't been of much help (rain) which makes photographing a bit impossible. More to be list: Dresses, dishes, aprons, and teacups!

2007-11-02T20:39:00.000-07:00

Added four set of colorful mugs to the shop!!!

First To Order

2007-10-29T13:38:00.000-07:00

Excitement, I had my very first order today, what was first to go? The cute mushroom mugs of course!!! I will be listing more items this week....

2007-10-27T19:01:00.001-07:00

Started my day with more listings and I was almost hesitant to sell this pig tailed girl dish set, it was just so cute to part with It, was time for it to go. Hopefully it's new owner will give it the appraise it deserves. As you see I am very sentimental

2007-10-25T16:25:00.000-07:00

Sadly winter will be approaching soon. On the top of my to-do list is photographing and listing, I have ton of pretty dresses that I wont be able to list because I still have yet to find a good mannequin. PB Teen has one I liked(rose print) but it's $200 which is too costly for me.

UPDATE: I found one, its not nearly as cute as the ones on left but its something...

FOR SALE!!!!

2007-10-24T16:21:00.000-07:00

I just listed my firsts item on etsy, a little nervious. I cannot tell how much I await for that first sell. Wrapping the item up, adding a little note and other small details, picking up a pen and writting the "name" and yes going to the postal office. It's exciting at least for someone like me
