Getting Ready for Mother's Day

Last week a sweet Cottage Style Street Team member, Pops, sent me the most adorable bracelet I've ever seen!  She has a new Etsy shop you should go visit - The Cottage Market.  She used some very creative wrapping so I reused it this week to mail some Mother's Day gifts.  Can't show ya what's inside yet.

I have to say, I haven't been looking forward to Mother's Day this year, since my mom just passed away in February & we've been through so much since then with Glenn's mom.  But it's helped making these. I'll show them to you next week.

I made some earrings out of vintage beads & added them to my Etsy shop.  One of them already made it into a treasury.  Go take a look!

I Am A Creative Mess

 

Yes, this is where I create.  Amazing that anything can come out of this, right?  I've looked at the magazine "Where Women Create" and dreamed about having a whole room for my crafts.  Maybe it's a good thing I don't... the whole room would probably look like this.

OK, I think something's wrong with my Blogger.  I can't move these photos the way I could on my last few posts.

Here are a few of the things I bought on my shopping trip Tuesday.  The green flower frog is for my Etsy Cottage Style Street Team friend, Tina, in Denmark.  Her Etsy shop is called Tiny Treasures from TinyBear.  I found some things that I usually only find in antique stores or estate sales.

I also bought these pretty pearlized pins for a future project... stay tuned.
