My New Esty Shop, and Giveaway!

I am super excited to share with you all that I have opened a shop on Etsy! It is still pretty bare right now, I only have four listings, but we all have to start somewhere, right? To celebrate this crafty entrepreneurial occasion, I am having a giveaway!! You can win one of my flower pin brooches!


To enter, visit my shop here then come back and leave a comment telling me which of my four brooches is your favorite. To get a SECOND entry become a follower and leave a separate comment letting me know you are a PPR follower! I'll be picking a winner next Friday, the 2nd. Good luck!!

This Belt Drives the Head Gears

I have this belt that I have loved and owned for a very long time. Years. Since high school, I believe. A beautiful, industrial chain finished with purple and pink ribbons, it was more rockstar than I could ever figure out how to work into my outfits. But since the love continued, it was never parted with. This past weekend, after years of the gears in my head turning, I gave the belt new life.



Simply by trimming the ribbon down (and melting the ends to prevent frays) I have a new statement necklace! I wore it out already for sushi night with one of my girls, with success! My friend liked it (and her opinion on things like this ALWAYS matters to me) and so did the waitress! What do you think?

Etsy Monday: The Daily Pincushion

This week for Etsy Monday I have chosen to feature The Daily Pincushion. I love her designs, and lately I have been in need of a sweet pincushion (a post on that later this week!). When it comes to pincushions and emery, it doesn't get any sweeter than these. Check out a few of my favorites, and be sure to visit her shop here. Happy sewing!
