Fresh in the Shop

These cutie hooties are in the shop now. Next weekend I do have a show here in the hood, so get them while you can. More creations are coming, hope you're not sick of the hooties. Let me know what you think....

Hooties are flying out the door!

I have packaged the hooties and they are on the way to their new homes. Tonight I will see Jodi at her opening in Riverside Village and will not need to mail, but wanted her to get a pretty package as well. I wrapped them in old unused pattern sheets, tied with tulle and stamped tag.

Yesterday I visited Great Stuff here in East Nashville as the owner Elizabeth had contacted me after seeing my wares in Art & Invention. Elizabeth also has a store in Franklin so now another place to buy White Cottage locally. Both Art & Invention and Great Stuff will carry cutie hooties, sweet tweets and shadowboxes.

If you are local come on out to the show tonight, find details here. If you haven't seen The Creative Jar's new stuff you are really missing out, go check it out NOW! A very hippie chick vibe happening! LOVE IT!

Music, wine, fruit and cheese

Yesterday my hubby came home early from a rough day at work. But I managed to get him into a better mood, thank goodness. Before dinner I made a snack of fruit and cheese then decided to open a bottle of wine to get celebrate hump day (no I don't celebrate every Wednesday). Then I hear soft guitar strumming....my own personal serenade. I loved it, however as you can see Boris was not impressed. Maybe Boris needed some wine as well? Kidding!

Thanks for the comments yesterday and congratulations to the winners Natalie, Carolyn and Jodi. Next time I do a give away I will do a random drawing and stretch it out, it ended way too soon.

Free Owls

I thought I'd get your attention with the post title. Actually it's a "pay it forward" game.
The rules are simple....

1. Be one of the first THREE bloggers to leave a comment on this post, which then entitles you to a handmade owl from me.

2. If you are one of the first three to make a comment, you are a winner! And you then agree to post this challenge on your own blog, meaning that you will pay it forward, creating a handmade gift -anything!- for the first THREE bloggers who leave a comment on YOUR post about this giveaway!

3. The gift that you send to your 3 friends can be from any price range and you have 365 days to make/ship your item. This means you should be willing to maintain your blog at least until you receive your gift and have shipped your gifts. And, remember it’s the spirit and the thought that count!

4. When you receive your gift, blog about it! If you are not one of the first three to comment on this post, you can still play along. Go ahead and start your own Pay It Forward chain, and encourage your blogging friends to do the same! It's all about paying it forward.

I got this from Jodi Reeves of The Creative Jar and I think she still has an opening last time I checked.

Good luck!
