I recently had the opportunity to design a logo for a fellow Etsy shop owner. Genevieve and I connected through the TAG Treasury Team on Etsy. She saw that I was a graphic designer, so when she decided to open a 2nd jewelry shop specializing in hand-stamped silver...
I'm recovering from my whirlwind weekend at the craft show (there will be a recap post probably Wednesday) so today's an easy 'look at the pretties!' post. 🙂 I've got two treasuries today. The first is August-themed, using one of August's birthstones as the...
Well, I finally got around to photographing all of the new prints I've been churning out for the upcoming craft show. And listings have started to go up in the shop. Here's a peek at a few:

Surprise! The redesign bug bit me hard this weekend, and I've revamped the look of the blog and the shop, complete with new logo. If you're in an RSS reader or on Bloglovin, you may want to click over for the full effect. I'd been increasingly feeling that the old...
ModCloth is having their big Last Hurrah sale right now, which means lots of things at 70% off. Which is music to my money-saving-loving ears. Here's what I snagged: My order already shipped! Can't wait to try everything on - crossing my fingers that...
Etsy pretty things round-up time! I ran through the gamut of monthly-themed treasuries (which you can see here) so from now on it'll be whatever random fancy strikes me each month. And after vacation last week, I have beach on the brain. 🙂 So today's Etsy treasury is...
Etsy round-up time again! I've got two for you today. First is the June-themed jewelry round-up, featuring pearls, roses, Gemini and Cancer. Second is a collection of items for the menfolk, in honor of Father's Day. June Jewelryby Dragonflight Dreams Wire Wrapped...
