winter shop clear out

hi there. i just wanted to let everyone know i have a few discounted winter items in my shop including some remaining tags, prints, and postcard sets. take a look and order quick! my shop will be closed from december 19th-26th. i will mail them out as soon as i get the order and we can hope for the best. i will also be having a year end sale in the shop to make way for new items in the new year from dec. 27th-dec 31st.
thanks for all your support this year!

hanging in there

hi friends. i'm so sorry i have been mostly absent this week. this holiday season has been such a busy time for me. and extra things keep popping in at the last moment.

on top of it all, i am feeling a bit under the weather. i wish i could just lay in bed with the covers over my head, but that is not possible right now. however, in a few short days i am taking a trip home to be with family and to sit by the fire.

until then, please join me {and my stuffy nose} at the holiday craft sale this sunday the 16th.
i will perhaps be adding some discounted items to my shop on monday if i have a lot left over.

happy saturday to you! enjoy hot toddies and warm fires.
