Sunday Night Facts and links!

The sale is officially over. The etsy shop has been cleaned out. 4 new items were listed this evening, one of which is now sold. The shop will only hold a handful of things at one time, and I'll update as things sell out.

 I worked on this earthy necklace, using another one of Nancy's new pendants. Don't forget to watch for her new Shop opening, tomorrow Monday Sept 13!  She's going to be updating her new Big Cartel shop with BRAND SPANKIN NEW designs, and in small, limited quantities! Just warnin' ya!











To celebrate the cleaning out of the shop, I splurged a cute new shop Banner and avatar (plus it came with other cute things like a Custom listing button, a Thank you Button, and Reserved Listing button. I fell in love with the work of OhMeOhMyDesign when I saw a post on Kylie's blog about her new blog look. When I looked then, the shop was in vacation mode, and today I happened to come across the shop again and there were  a few options to choose from, so I picked this pretty Poppy set- I am a smitten kitten!






Had a good weekend, did the craft show yesterday. Today was rainy so I did some jewelry for a super special top secret project I'm working on, along with the new pieces for Etsy. I also did 4 loads of laundry, but never did get in there to clean the bathroom. Dang!

Enjoy the weekly Bead Blogger Links, and have a great night!
