a day late & a dollar short.

I had every intention of posting this to Littleput Books' Studio Shot Tuesdays Flickr group, but time got away from me, & it was Wednesday before I knew it. Since this doesn't really show my studio anyway, I figured I'd just post it here & talk about what I've been up to. Studio pics next week, I promise!! (Oooh, maybe I'll actually paint my studio this weekend so it'll be all pretty by Tuesday....)

Anywho, what you see in that picture up there is just a sampling of the 100 postcard/coupons I made & shipped off this week. They'll go in swag bags to be given to the 1st 100 comers at Stitch Rock (Oct. 6 in DelRay Beach)! I've been crafting like crazy to get ready for it...it's gonna be my biggest craft show yet & I'm super excited. So my little postcards feature some vintage stationery that I scanned & printed. You can mail it as a postcard but if you bring it to my booth at the event, it's a 20% off coupon too! I also stuck in some of my new stickers for the goody bags.

vintage spools!!

spool jewelry is the new black.

thanks to a very productive day of yard-sale-scavenging, i've got a couple of these cuties listed in my etsy shop right now, & more will be up soon!

i just love the look of these vintage wooden spools...i never fail to get numerous compliments on my necklace whenever i wear it. many of the spools still have the manufacturer's labels on them! others bear an imprint rather than a paper label....

a spool necklace just seems like the perfect piece of jewelry for a crafter, no? or maybe a pair of earrings, for the bold.
