Holiday Shopping

Need a unique, one of a kind gift for someone on your holiday list? 

Check out this Etsy shop, BashandStorm.

The shop owner sews a variety of bags - handbags, tote bags, etc. She uses unique fabric and all her bags are very well made and of a high quality plus the prices are very reasonable. Her work is amazing. How can someone sew a straight line like that???

The shop is named after her son, Bash, and their kitty, Storm. She is a military wife, and hubby and I have 'adopted' her and her family. Give the shop a look-see. You never know what you'll find....

Shrooms Under Glass

I have two new items in my Etsy shop. They are both pendants that were made from reclaimed pendant watches that had quit working. I turned them into small Fae worlds that can be worn.

The first is made from a pendant watch that didn't work and that had a broken crystal. I gutted the watch and then installed a trio of wee 'Shrooms and a ladybug.

The second pendant is made from a pendant watch that had a cover (like a locket). The crystal was still intact on this pendant and when the cover is opened, it appears that you are looking into a wee terrarium complete with a set of red 'Shrooms, a ladybug and a dragonfly.

This, That & Things To Come.....

No road trip this week. But next week we're going to take a drive over Boreas Pass. So be sure to get your rest and pack a lunch 'cause it's quite a trek up and over the Continental Divide!

And in the meantime, I'd like to remind everyone to check out my eBay listings - I have a few more vintage flower pots at auction along with some very vintage garden posters.  CLICK HERE!

Sorry, no Etsy craft listings yet - I've been busy with apple harvest! Hopefully, next week I'll have some things up for sale.


I was recently gifted with a blog award from Rene of Confessions of a Modern Witch . Thank you SO MUCH Rene!! I feel honored to be called an Inspiring Blogger!  I do hope everyone stops by Rene's blog for a read. And really, it's all YOU readers out there in blogland that INSPIRE ME!

Now for the Things To Come..... In the month of September, I am going to have not one, not two, but FOUR give-aways. So be sure to stay tuned!

Shameless Plug!

I now have a shop on Amazon. Click Here! 

Individuals can now sell up to 40 items a month without becoming a 'professional seller'.  So, I am slowly clearing out the great number of books that Hubby & I have accumulated over the years. So far, the selection includes books on Faeries, Witchcraft, Mysteries, Folklore. Over the coming months, as I unpack book boxes, I will be adding to the inventory. So keep checking back.

And I have been listing items on eBay as well. Click here! 

Right now I have numerous vintage McCoy flowerpots on eBay. As well as a portable electronic birdsong identifying device (Birdsong Identiflyer). And I will be listing more vintage and antique items as they are found in boxes.

And coming soon will be numerous art and craft supplies to my Etsy shop! So be sure to keep checking all my 'outlets'! You never know what you might find.

The Haunted Halloween House is covered in glitter to give a ghoulish glow. The roof comes off so that the flicker light (included) might be turned on for night time enjoyment. Skellies, tombstones, bats, a cat & a spider lurk in the yard around the house. A great addition to anyone's Halloween decorations.


The Wicked Leaf picture is based on a vintage Halloween design.

Witch Hats for Sale!

I have recently finished a few Witch Hats. Four to be exact. Each with a different color band of satin ribbon and tulle fabric. These Hats would look good in a display year round. The ribbon and tulle is gathered in spots with metal stars. The display stand has a crackle glaze which has then been sealed. The Witch Hat has been permanently attached to the stand. It stands approx. 9" tall.


I have a Witch Hat with a red band for sale here on my blog - just look in the upper left hand corner. I also have a Witch hat with an orange band and an orange rose for sale in my Etsy Shop. And the purple hat is for sale on eBay.

Swap Partners

I have my Swap Partners for the 2009 Prim and Whimsy GirLs Little Token of Love Valentine Swap. They are Wanda Clark and Lynn Kestrel.

Wanda is a military wife with two boys, a 13 year old and a 4 year old. The 4 year old is autistic. She and her family are currently living in Fort Benning, Georgia. She has an Etsy shop full of wonderful vintage bits of lace, buttons and pins. And she loves to 'Swap'.

Lynn lives in Richmond, British Columbia. She makes the most wonderful jewelry using vintage crystals and other wonderful finds. She has two lovely daughters that keep her busy. She has an Etsy shop as well.

If you're out and about, stop in at their Blogs and say, 'Hi'. Or browse their Etsy shops. You might find something that you can't live without!

What I've been up to...

I haven't been sitting idle since I posted my last art piece in December. I have been elbow deep in lace, beads and vintage style Valentines! It's been oodles of fun! I can remember helping my Mother make these types of Valentines when I was a kid.

A couple of the Valentines are for Swaps



and two of the Valentines are now in my Etsy Shop . Feel free to take a look!
