Tiny Treasures, are the Leprechauns Around?

The loveliest of things can just surprise you when you least expect it. After trimming my roses and shrubs I found this little gem smiling up at me. I have a strict policy with my husband that he is not to get rid of this type of clover as long as it isn't in the grass. It is such a sweet little plant that will, just when you least expect it, surprise you.

It shows up in unexpected places and in unexpected ways. This next picture is also a surprise, but in a fun way. Have you ever seen a clover leaf this big? I haven't, and I live in Texas where everything is supposed to be big!

I didn't find a pot of gold, but these little moments are treasures.

I hope you find your own little treasures when your snow starts to melt and spring arrives!

My First Ad~

I placed my first ad this week with craftcult. After seeing it on the page I was thinking it looked a little boring. I know, though, when you've seen something a hundred times it can loose it's luster. What do you think? This first one, or the next one, which I made myself and didn't pay for?

Is this one better or does it just seem that way to me because it's new? What do you think?

Finally Finished

This is just a small example of what I have been working on for the past week. I made well over 50 of these little guys in lots of colors for two new consignment orders. Don't you hate when your love for something turns into a chore? But, I take a step back, look at my accomplishment, and feel so satisfied and pleased with they way they turned out. I think of all who will be wearing flowers in their hair this spring (and hopefully not just little girls!). Contentment...

I ran out of some colors, though, so I had to re-order. Exciting thing is, though, see that there are no white in the bunch? That's because Brides.com got dibs on the few I had left. They want to see them in person to consider them for a feature in their "Copy Her Style" editorial coming up. Cross your fingers and say a little prayer that they'll be chosen.

Sharing the Finer things in Life

I am up to my eyeballs in three wholesale/consignment projects but I thought I'd share one of the finer things that has been shared with me. Just pause and take a moment to enjoy before returning to work. :-)

Have a great day!

They're Here!

I am so excited to show you my Moo cards. For those of you who are not familiar with Moo Cards, they are a company based in London that make many products including these mini moo cards, full size business cards, stickers, post cards and lots more. You choose what you want, and can upload your pictures from flickr, your computer and even your etsy shop. You can upload as many or as few as you like. For the mini moos, you then choose the text to be placed on the back of the card. (This is my first order so I don't know how the other products work).

I am so pleased with how they turned out. I used the vintage images that I use in my jewelry for the Mia Sophia cards. I used pictures of my items for my Friendly Banter cards.

They are a really nice, heavy card stock, matte finish, clear and beautiful pictures. I am so happy with my order, and it arrived from London in about a week!

New Animated Ad
