Saturday Shopping List

There's still time to enter the giveaway. Head on down and leave a comment! And again thank you to all who've stopped by, left a comment, subrscribed and just generally made me feel good. Thanks!

It's been a few weeks since I've done a Saturday Shopping List so I thought it was about time. 1. A panda by goosegrease: I've been eying this panda for my daughter who is obsessed with them. I love it's simplicity. The shop has other great people and characters as well.

2. Chiffon Blossoms hair pins by Nomsa: These blossoms are gorgeous. Perfect for a day on the beach.

3. Abelina Lace Neckace by FoxandClover: I just think this lace necklace is fantastic. Her shop has a lot of other great painted lace necklaces as well!

4. Flower Field Linen Napkins by natsuminishizumi: These linen napkins are perfect for a warm summer evening. The screenprinting is simple but perfect all at the same time.

I hope you have a great weekend and please go see fancypicnic for other great lists.

Giveaway Day from Sew, Mama Sew

Yeah, giveaway day is here!
Thank you so much stopping by to enter my giveaway. If this is your first time here I hope you take a moment and look around!I am giving away this canvas tote with vintage yo-yo's and buttons on the outside and cute mushroom fabric lining the inside.I am also giving away some vintage lace, ric-rac and buttons.
And last but not least I'm giving away a knitting/crochet organizer with a vintage knitting/crochet book.

One lucky person can win all this, however if you don't knit or crochet and don't want the knitting organizer/book then I'll draw a second time. So there is a potential for two winners.

The giveaway from Sew, Mama Sew is coming up! My giveaway will be posted later today. But for now check out Rebecca's, of Edward and Lilly, fantastic giveaway. Also be sure to check out her shop. She makes the cutest kittie stuffies. They'd be perfect for a little one. Secretly I want one for myself!

Weekend

This is my second week of missing Saturday Shopping List...oops. It's just been so hectic around here with the weather finally getting nice that I just didn't get a chance to peruse Etsy like I usually do.
On a little housekeeping note. I've been trying out a new commenting system. Kirsty is using it over at Kootoyoo and I really liked it so I'm trying it here. Please let me know if there's any bugs, kinks, etc. You can leave a comment as a guest or sign up. You can either leave your email to get replies or leave it blank, up to you. Any thoughts you have would be great. Thanks!
Some relaxing plans for this three day weekend, hopefully some sewing, reading and just general family fun. Have a great weekend and see you on Tuesday!
And remember the Sew, Mama Sew giveaway is coming up on Wednesday which I'll be participating in with a little hand made and vintage goodness!

Reflection

There are a few times in life where it seems as if time stands still and your priorities come into full focus. I had that moment last night when my husband got home from work. He was late, which I had noticed as I cajoled kids into cleaning their room, and when he walked into the house I almost mentioned the time. I'm glad I didn't. My husband teaches out in a rural area and driving home he came upon the car wreck of a fellow teacher. It was a head on collision with another vehicle, a drunk driver. Thankfully she and the other passengers survived, injured yes, but not severely. The point being, priorities shift when the minutia of the day falls away and the light shines like a beacon on those that take precedence over all. So in reflection, I hug my kids, kiss my husband, embrace the little and forget the big because at the end of the day it's just us, our family, at this time, in this moment.

My Creative Space

Not much in my creative space this week due to my sewing room being pulled apart to get to the leaky sprinkler pipes. All is fixed and hopefully I'll be back in there shortly. I have found a few moments for some creativity.

Learning how to lace knit, still working at it, going on my third attempt.


Discovering vintage crochet books from my grandmother. I may learn yet.
