thank you!

There is an Etsy Blossom Shop update going on now!

More pieces are coming...just need to get some batteries for camera! :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have also been coerced into joining Facebook....

It is so addicting!

I have really enjoyed catching up with so many people I have seen or spoken to in years! And its only been one weekend so I know more old friends will be popping up soon.

So if you aren't on there yet...I highly suggest it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The pile of unpacked boxes seems to be getting a little smaller in the spare bedroom.

I got rid of so many things before we moved and then we had a garage sale after we moved and now I am finding more things that need to go....sheesh!

Hopefully one day I will be left with a more manageable collection of treasures!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sweetie and I had a really nice dinner with one of his old coworkers last night.

Best ribs I have ever had...wow!

Thank you so much Regina and Dillon!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ok, back to the shop update and making more pieces!

have a great day!

Collections

While continuing to get my ducks in a row (see last post) I realized I have a few mini collections of things. Sometimes one of something is enough for me...other times its not.

I am sure many of us are like that.

I got to thinking about what kinds of things make other people get that bug to start collecting them.

And once we have that collection, what do we do with them?

And why, after a while, do we not need our collections any more?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

my collection of prints, mostly purchased from Indie artists on Etsy and from craft faires I have been in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

my collection of mini things. Mini shoes, mini elves (from Vanessa Valencia at A Fanciful Twist), mini anythings!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

my collection of crown pins. I never wear them, but I love to look at them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What do you collect?

Welcome 2009!!!!

Happy New Year to you all!

I hope you all had a lovely holiday.

It was all quite lovely here.

Time with friends and family was just what Sweetie and I needed to get recharged and ready for the new year.

This year begins with getting my ducks in a row.

We moved to a new house just before the holidays and I can't find a thing!

I am looking forward to a new year of new designs and ideas for Blossom Shop.

Thank you to all of you who helped support Blossom Shop in 2008.

2009 is going to be even better!!

The Etsy shop is still going strong.

Check this shop for the majority of my designs.

Lollishops is ramping up for its grand opening.

Check this shop for more vintage style pieces.

Blossom Shop can still be found at MADE in downtown Phoenix.

Hopefully there will be some new pieces there soon!

The First Friday in February Blossom Shop and Starving Artist Bazaar will be together again!

Come visit us at First Friday downtown Phoenix Friday, February 6th after 6pm.

More info to come as it gets closer!

I took forward to an exciting year!

I hope you are ready too!
