A Longer Winter.. Bah Humbug.. Think Spring

Greetings and Blessings...

I would imagine for most of us, it was very depressing to see that the blasted groundhog saw his shadow and once again, cursed us all to six more weeks of winter. I say Bah Humbug. It's time to think Spring and believe in spring. Think warm thoughts and chase winter away :)

I've been totally wrapped up the last couple of days on a new line of necklaces and was doing that yesterday when I came up with this one:



Today, I decided to do a nice spring and love themed necklace too since Valentine's Day is fast approaching and not all women are into plain red or hearts:



Whatever the next few weeks brings, whether more snow, rain or both depending on where you are, I wish you all a "heated" Valentine's Day and let's keep looking forward to spring!

Blessed Be.

A Spotlight on favorite Etsy Shops

Greetings...

So as I sat today, listening to and watching the downpour of wet that is Washington weather, I let my fingers do the walking since my brain wasn't capable yet. Turns out yesterday's cottonballs were the precursor to one nasty migraine which is just now subsiding. Gotta love it.

So my fingers kept clicking the mouse and my eyes surfed Etsy and I decided tonight to spotlight a few of my newest favorite Etsy shops.

I was first inspired by the scent of the rain and wet grass when I let my cats out, so I went window shopping for a new perfume oil and found an intriguing scent I want to try at Another Realm Scents called Pomona... so if you are into fruit scents, check this out: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36680324

Then I attempted to play with some beads, just to occupy my hands and mind a little, and decided I'd work on Valentine's Day items. Well that didn't happen so to spark my creativity, I went hunting for beads and found this lovely set pink heart set, perfect for Valentine's Day, at BreathtakingBeadzz: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=37839865

After that, I did manage to get a new pair of earrings made and a necklace laid out to be put together later on. Those will be posted later this week.

Blessed Be.
