New Holiday Fairy Portals in my etsy shop.

Simply Sentimental / The Blog

Etsians are so generous. This is a really beautifully put together blog . Look for my candy corn hair barrette. All sorts of fun stuff here.
I have just finished the market for the season and I am trying out some new Christmas designs.
I hope to have a couple posted here soon.

Keepsake Box

I have been very busy at the market. Thanks to all of you who come by to shop or just say hi. It is great to see old friends and meet new ones.

This is a little experiment that turned out rather nice. I might make a few adjustments and then make some to sell.

I just need more time in the day!

Polymer Cafe

I'm on the cover! Bottom right.

Thanks Connie! You are wonderful.

That is kind of what I feel like right now.

I'm very excited. My first publication!

Market starts tomorrow. Yikes!

I am excited to see all of our Market friends.

Spring!

I LOVE spring!

Got a new camera too. Nikon coolpix S52.

So easy to take a decent photo with.

Been working on some non-jewelry
items for the market. This is a slide top tin.

These are great fun to make. I finally get to use all of those rubber stamps I've bought over the years.

Getting ready...

It is almost market season and that means U of U fans. I'm getting ready.

First Tooth

My baby girl ( I call her that cause she is my youngest) , lost her first tooth. Here it is by her fairy portal. Worked great. The fairies left $$ and fairy dust everywhere.

So fun to be a mom on these occasion's.

Art Nouveau and vintage brass...

I bought a whole bunch of vintage brass findings and stampings because , well....I LOVE them! I was possessed. I couldn't get enough. I couldn't sleep, couldn't concentrate, I couldn't do the laundry. After I came down from my vintage brass cloud I decided to incorporate them with some new "ART NOUVEAU" designs.

I am still experimenting but oh my, it is fun. The only problem is that I don't

want to use up all of my new shiny brass stuff.

Fairy Portals

I am having a crazy fairy day. Good crazy.

This extremely nice person AngelaW whom I have never met in person but have been getting to know through e mail has been spreading the word about my fairy portals. In fact she wrote the sweetest story about her fairy door and their first visit from the tooth fairy. http://www.flickr.com/photos/angelav/2226274372/

It even got to my hubby. Anyway, I am having a big demand for these now so I have been crafting away having the most fun I've had in a long time.

To everyone who wants one, please be patient with me. I am going as fast I can without skimping on the creativity put into each door. You really can't rush the fairies. Thanks Angela and may all of your fairies be happy!

Ooooh, Ahhhhh !

I love how these are turning out.

I want to keep them all!

What's new

I have been experimenting with new ideas and this is a keeper. I found some beautiful vintage brass stampings and made some molds and this is the result. Of course I have made them in lots of different colors because I can't just stop at one. I will post some more pics later.

These will definitely be in my shop for the new year.

Valentines Day is right around the corner!
