Pinup shoes!

Okay, so this post may not pertain to handmade wares- BUT my reader know, I am a huge fan of retro/Burlesque/pinup style. So, imagine my delight when I found this giveaway on Review Retreat!


They are hosting a giveaway offering the chance for one lucky reader to win any 1 pair of shoes from pinupshoes.com of their choosing! HOW COOL IS THAT?!

They offer a wide variety of heels (sooo many heels!), flats, platforms, and boots. They have shoes for women, men, and children- and some unisex shoes, too. The giveaway closes July 12th, so check it out while there is still time!

Mr.Sogs (via Familylicious)

I was skimming through the blog-o-sphere this morning and found this great review (AND giveaway) on the Familylicious blog. - click here to check it out -

Upon reading the review and seeing all of the adorable pictures that were posted, I immediately fell in love with Mr.Sogs creatures.

I checked out his Etsy shop and loved every bit of what I found. Strange little plush creatures. According to his shop announcement:
"All the creatures from Mr. Sogs are handmade and every creature is two of a kind with an identical twin so that none of them will ever be lonely. Every pair is unique and can be adopted as a pair or individually."
How cute!



Definitely check out the review on Familylicious, and have a look at his Etsy shop- filled with bunnies, and Penguins, and Creatures; Sea Suckers, OddVarks, and Orbs! You're guaranteed to find a strange, new friend to love.

Valentine's Day is on it's way...

It's almost Valentine's Day. Some think it is the most romantic day of the year, while others think it is a totally overrated day to celebrate commercialism.
For those of you who are celebrating this year, I've made a list of some of my favorite handmade Valentine cards! And well, those of you who aren't celebrating will at least get a chuckle out of some of them. I've found the sweet and the sleazy, and everything in between! Hope you find something you like!

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!

Ahh! It's a really busy day for me, and the internet has been down which hasn't helped any!
But, I'm in pretty good mood, nonetheless. My resin arrived today! So, I'm working on all kinds of great, new items that'll be in the shop soon (so keep an eye out)! Plus, I sold another item today! Woohoo!
...And if that's not enough to be happy about, I won a contest on this blog: http://silvermoonwitch.blogspot.com/2009/12/blog-giveaway-holiday-ornament-from.html. I'm am simply ecstatic about this, because Picard Creative truly is one of my favorite Etsy shops. I'm not just saying that because I won, either! If you haven't yet, you should definitely check out her shop. She sells these great magnets (and ornaments!) made from upcycled tin can lids, with great pictures in them. She also sells checkbook covers, debit card cases, bookmarks, and all kinds of cute stuff.

So, definitely check out Picard Creative, and don't forget to check out my shop as I'll be posting new items in the days and weeks to come.
