I hope you enjoy the new items in the store as much as I do!

hope

Being on vacation has left me out of the blog loop. So, today was the first I have heard about craft hope for haiti. Have you heard? It's an amazing opportunity. You can support the mission by either buying or selling.

Craft Hope has created an etsy store of donated items that will be sold to support doctors without borders. As of today the store has sold over 1,000 donated items!

I hope that you will think of a handmade item you could sell on the store, or that you would even browse and find a wonderful handmade item for yourself.

Who doesn't love to shop etsy? Especially when you know that your money is going towards such a enormous need.

Today, I donated this pair of earrings.

So often when devastation to this degree happens I feel confused about what to do. I know that I could write a check {which is needed greatly}, but I always feel like I want to do something more personal. My heart feels like I want to jump on a plane and feed and give water to all of the people in need. Or adopt one of the many orphaned children and give them one of the bedrooms in my house that lies empty night after night.

But ... I know that is not always realistic. Maybe God has big plans like that, I'm not going to undershoot the plans He has. All I do know is for today I can use the gifts that He has given me to help those in need. So it only seemed fitting to begin donating jewelry.

What skill or gift has He blessed you with? How could you use what you already possess to help? While I was in CO, I was watching the news and people there were donating tents. A man being interviewed simply said "everyone in Colorado has a tent, maybe even two."

We already have so much. Go ahead and use Craft Hope as a way to creatively serve those in desperate need.

Acts 2:45

Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need.

I found this adorable little frame and art piece on Etsy and I just had to have it. Now I am trying to decide which room it fits best in. Decisions decisions. Oh, I can find so many ways to procrastinate at the end of the semester...

twig reindeer

Is anyone else already starting to think about holiday decor?

I can't believe it is right around the corner! E and I were just talking about how close it is until we get to go pick 0ut a tree! These twig reindeer from Pottery Barn are one of my favorite seasonal decor items.


If you're going for more of the vintage look, I enjoy this little Etsy treasure...

What are some of your holiday decor favorites?

isn't she lovely

penelope poppy necklace

a new use for china

I saw these pictures and I fell in love. What a great way to display antique china and jewlery at the same time. So go ahead, get those pretty cups and saucers out of the cabinet. Show them off, use them to hold your precious jewels.



I also saw this unique little piece on etsy. I think that it would be adorable jewelry holder, or a eye catching piece in open shelves.


Challenge yourself to be a little creative.

Recycle the things you already have sitting around the house!

pecan pie puppies

I will have to say, these may be the most adorable dog collars I have ever seen. Check out the pecan pie puppies etsy shop here.

The best part about the collars is that the flowers snap on and off! This is a perfect feature if you have a pup that likes to destroy things like mine does!

That's all for now...
I hope to be able to post later tonight. God has really laid some things on my heart that I would love to share! Check back soon...

all dressed up

Ok, so I'm up past my bedtime searching the pages of etsy & I came across this artworkA barbie dress on a clothesline with a mint background- i love it!

And the story goes, I saw it, loved it, and immediately purchased it. I think they call that an impulse buy! Oh well, I certainly do not feel any buyers remorse. I am currently in the process of creating an office space in my house, and this artwork will be perfect for the space. I will post some pictures when the room is complete!

Here are some other similar prints the seller has to offer
All prints are 8X10.
I think a collection of these prints would go perfectly in a nursery. They are so girly and fun! All of these prints can be found here

Off to bed I go!
