Feature Me Friday:

This week we have Vicki of Wearwolf and MyFathersHouse,
from Tucson, AZ.

Recycled Jewelry Circle Bracelet from Upcycled License Plates Leather Wristlet With Button From Upcycled License Plate Recycled Jewelry Industrial Chic License Plate Earrings Recycled Jewelry Industrial Chic License Plate Earrings

Vicki is now obsessive about making cool stuff from
recycled/found objects. Giving things new life as beautiful
keepsakes is very rewarding! Using the process to teach future
generations to look at trash differently is the main goal.

I'll be the one walking along the side of the road picking up
every tiny item someone else has discarded as trash!


Recycled Aluminum Jewelry Shrine Brooch Skull OOAK Recycled Jewelry Shrine Flower Brooch from repurposed aluminum OOAK Andy Warhol  Shrine Brooch from recycled metal OOAK Vintage Barbie Shrine Brooch From Recycled Alluminum OOAK

The recycling of metal is labor intensive. All cans are washed, dried
and cut. Cutting also includes "flesh" and I go through many bandages!
I then emboss, shape, paint, sand, distress, and/or file each piece into
a little creation of art. Add fun images in bottle caps or lovely glass
charms wire wrapped by hand and "Voila", a little piece of personal
wearable art!

Retreat to Your Own Back Yard

Summer is here and it's time to enjoy the outdoors. Don't wait to go away on vacation.  Why not turn your own back yard into a vacation retreat you can enjoy every day.  There is nohing like relaxing under a shady tree on a  after a hectic day.


This hammock is made for two people to enjoy.    Extra wide and very sturdy it is made with cotton rope to hold a maximum weight of 420 lbs.  Just imagine enjoying a lazy afternoon with someone you love, daydreaming and counting the clouds.

Gettin' My Weekend On

Hello, lovelies!!! What do you have in store for your weekend? I'll be kid-less. Woo Hoo!! Tonight I'm going to a reception for my brother and his new wife and I get to dress up cool-casual-fancy (yes, that's a style). Saturday is our "Super Saturday" and I'm making pillows and eating yummy salads. The rest of the time will be spent with my sweet bf, maybe touring a ghost town. Perfect for October.

Here are some project ideas for the cool weekend days...

Ahhhh.....Fall

Don't you just love this time of year? The cool air, the smells, the crunching of leaves...it's all so comforting. I especially love the colors. Any chance I get to accentuate orange is a good time of the year.

How idyllic is this setting?! I want to take a stroll, hand-in-hand, and gather leaves....just like I'm in a Jane Austen novel.

Love Is In The Air

My posts have been light this week because I'm helping with my brother's upcoming wedding. We are all so excited and happy for the sweet couple. I've been making cheesecakes and sewing a blue/orange banner. The wedding party is a tail-gate party with Boise State colors, of course.

Here are some beautiful wedding collages from my favorite wedding blog, Snippet & Ink...

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Marketing Monday: Etsy on Sale

Etsy On SaleEtsy On SaleEtsy On SaleEtsy On Sale

Have you ever wanted to run a sale in your Etsy shop?
The only way to do it is to mark and edit each item,
send the buyer a new invoice, or
give each customer a refund of the discount.
Not any more!
This week Etsy on Sale had my Twitter a buzz.
The site does all the work for running a sale in your Etsy shop.

Etsy On Sale is a collaborative effort between three friends who love Etsy and are big fans of those who buy and sell handmade items. Etsy On Sale is their effort to help the
handmade movement continue its exponential growth. Etsy On Sale is a service for both shop owners and customers. Artists now have a simple way to manage and promote discounts and sales events for their Etsy shops. Shoppers now have a site where they can easily connect with Etsy sellers who are offering promotions.



The site has a great forum set up for communication, too.
Since it is brand new, Etsy on Sale is working on getting timing
and kinks worked out, and has asked for your patience.
I think it just might be worth it!

What To Do, What To Do?

My boyfriend is turning the big 3-0 this month. That's a big day in my opinion. So I really want to have a fun day planned for him. Nothing too cheesy and nothing too over-the-top, he's not that kind of guy.

I think these party ideas are amazing and maybe qualify for a 30th b-day party...

Good friends, good food, good laughs. That's a great birthday. But I think he's thinking it should involve dirt bikes in the desert. Good thing I get to plan it:)
