Shake up

Spring is coming, and summer will follow.  I am a very busy girl from spring through summer, and so I need to get organized before the flurry starts.  I WANT to be busy all spring and summer, because the Canadian winter (which really, lasts about half of the entire year, from mid fall to mid […]

And the results are…

So!  After I wrote down all the draw entries and how many each name got, I decided to assign each name a colour, and I put in one bead of that colour (all the same size) for each comment/entry.  It worked really well, much better than names on paper, in my opinion…I threw them all […]

Calculations

So, I was alway for the entirety of the morning, but now I’m back and have marked all the entries.  There have been a total of 44 entries for the draw, made by 9 people.  I will be making the draw immediately after I finish this entry and make some lunch. :)  Then I will […]

Midnight tonight (EST) marks the end of your opportunity to be entered into the TFG draw that was begun on February 12th.  I will be compiling all entries tomorrow and hopefully will have time to do the draw and notify the winner as well.  The winner of the draw will be announced after he/she has […]

I wouldn’t even HAVE to win the lottery to do a lot of shopping from THESE favourites.

Buying from new Etsy sellers is great, but what I really love is finding a seller whose product is so excellent that I know I will be buying form them again and again.  And you can’t know who these people are until you receive their product, so the ones mentioned here are sellers whose products […]

Makes me want to get back to the old forge!

It’s lucky that I have financial restrictions.  Shopping on Etsy is just TOO good.  I’ve made a lot of (small) purchases already and have developed a favourites list of sellers I’ve already purchased from and know the quality of, which I will tell you all about in future posts.  Today’s post is on a new […]

I love it when experiments go (mostly) right.

I can’t believe I covet my own earrings. But I DO…and here’s why. By rights, I am supposed to SELL these earrings. But I really want to keep them! They just look magical, to me, so…crystal-frosty and silvery. So…I should just make my own pair, right? Weellll…
Depending on how well […]

My coccoon

Today I’m going to show you guys where I come from…the things I am surrounded by.  People are a product of their environment…and here is some of mine.
Pictures from around my town where I walk and bike:

The desired balance

I think I’m going to list more earrings and necklaces (or at least pendants) so that my balance at the shop is a little less hairstick-heavy.  Right now TFG has 40 sticks in stock, 8 nature prints, six earrings and one necklace.  I need more earrings and necklaces for sure.  I’ve just always been better […]

First necklace

So I caved in.  I just HAD to buy some handmade paper right away, even though it means using an e-check.  (I really hate that about Paypal, that you can pay with credit card or instant transfer, but ONLY if your Paypal balance is zero.  That makes NO SENSE.  You should always have the option […]
