Meet the wonderful Vendors!
"The Tarnished Crown" will be bringing her comfy and one of a kind pillows. A lady of many talents!


"Junk Fairy".....she never stops. This time she is adding crowns, headbands, yo-yo's necklaces, cuffs and burlap handbags to her collection. It's a pleasure to have her again.

Welcome back Gypsysoul. This is one of her creation, a mermaid necklace made by using a vintage frozen Charlotte doll, with sterling chain and different stones and pearls.

also these Mother of Pearl pendants are engraved by her and they can be customized.
More vendors.....in a couple of days

How can I walk away?....Christie and I were talking yesterday and decided that we need to walk away from the computer and concentrate a little bit more on our creativity. That was my plan this morning. Answer few e-mails and go in the workshop. Well here I am, I wanted to see what was new in Blogland....Both my sister-in-laws have been busy this morning and I couldn't resist to show you.
First up! Nadia and her newest creation. Stop by her blog and say hi.

Bellissima!

Oh My! Christie's newest original on one of my favorite birdhouses. Gorgeous!
check out her blog too.

Moi?....I finished another necklace that will be for sale on my etsy soon.
