I came across the remnants of my childhood collection of Wacky Packs the other day. I’m trying not to be a hoarder, but this kind of stuff gets in the way of my good intentions and leaves me conflicted. Anyway, I’m going to share a sticker from my collection every now and then, because one [...]
Welcome back to Salty Saturday! Today’s salt and pepper set was found on Etsy. These cute vintage penguins are plastic and named Millie and Willie. Click the link or the photo for more info on this fun set.
Today’s Betsy on Etsy feature is a scarf that I embellished by needle felting a flower onto one end. This wool roving in many shades of purple on this whimsical scarf blends beautifully with the color of the scarf. Click the image for more info.

Salty Saturday is here again! Today’s set was found on one of my many exploring adventures on Etsy. My favorite thing about this set is how the S and the P are molded into the tops of the shakers. The color is pretty, too. What do you [...]
Today’s featured item from my Etsy shop is this needle felted ampersand. Combining the clean font design of Helvetica with the hand crafted element of needle felting gives you this perfectly imperfect ampersand. This was sooo fun to make! Click the link or the photo [...]
Maddie and I decided we’d love to try to recreate some of the funny photos from her childhood. We’ve seen this idea all over Pinterest and it makes us laugh every time. We started with these two photos, since I had the props out for another photo shoot. I had the best time shooting these. [...]
