This past weekend, the boy and I headed down to Blanco for the annual lavender festival. We'd never been, and I was curious to see what it was like. It was a little over an hour drive out into Texas Hill Country. There's a pretty huge market setup in downtown...

Monthly-themed jewelry round-up time! This month I've got two for you. The first is the usual month-themed collection, with April's birthstone (diamond), flower (sweet pea), and zodiacs (Aries and Taurus). The second, appropriately, is an earthy collection in honor of...
Monthly jewelry round-up time! Etsy gets a lot of crap from outside the handmade community for allowing sellers that sell crap, and there certainly is some of that. But there are also so many true artisan crafters with quality products. It's part of why I do these...
