Lavender XOXO

Lavender caught my eye, so I searched for it throughout my online world.

This is what I found. May you enjoy it as much as I did.

Orange You Glad I Said Orange - A Refreshed Look #05

Orange has fast become one of my favorite colors. It started several years ago.

That's why I created this treasury in 2011, which shows only half of what I actually chose for it.

And orange is still one of my top color choices. Here is another collection of delightfulness.

Travel The Pacific Northwest - A Refreshed Look #04

On July 5, 2011, I invited Etsyians to travel to the Pacific Northwest.

The journey involved artists and crafters in this fabulous region.

Sadly, the original treasury has since lost a lot of items.

But, luckily, there are still many people living in the area with handmade creations.

And this time, YOU are invited to join me. Stop by the shops, favorite & buy.

Especially if they are local to you. If not, search for people near you :)

Gray - A Refreshed Look #03

It's not always black and white. Sometimes, it just gray and it can be beautiful.

I chose gray for an Etsy treasury on June 1, 2011 because I believe its such a lovely color.

Or is it a "non-color"? Here is the original treasury - missing a few as happens over time.

And here is the newest treasury, inspired by this one and the color gray. Enjoy!

Throwback Thursday: April 19, 2011

On April 19, 2011, I created my very first set of distressed clothespins.

(And it was only one day later that they sold, too.) I had no idea the journey they would take me on!

Distressed Rose & White Clothespins, Set Of 6

"Pink is always in - add a little shabbiness & you have a stylish way to display photos, hang banners, or keep yourself organized."

The distressing is a bit rough - My skills have much improved since then - but they were still lovely.

The clothespins originally arrived on a piece of embossed cardstock in an organza bag.

That has changed. Clothespins are now tucked into a cotton muslin bag, a perfect way to store them.

And there are many, many more colors to choose from along with different sizes.

Is there a creation that you have improved on over time?

Share it in the comments. I'd enjoying hearing about it!
