Monday Madness!

Good Morning!

I hope that everyone had a fabulous weekend, I know I did! Not enough relaxing time, but it was worth it for me. I ended up going to a quilt show on Saturday and Sunday and sitting with the booth for the quilt shop that I sell my button jewelry in. I did some adjustments on length for customers that were buying, and made some requests on the spot. I ended up making about $200 in my 60% alone, since I sell on consignment! I was VERY VERY excited. Next weekend? Another quilt show on Saturday! And this one is about 4 times the size, attracting at least triple the crowd! I won't be eating or sleeping much this week, you'll find me playing with buttons!

This week's BESTeam feature brings you the Etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/lightkeeping, where you can find BEAUTIFUL handcrafted lampwork and beads jewelry! Anastasija lives in Ireland and really has an eye for color combining!

Isn't this necklace just amazing?? My favorite color lately has been pink, so I really liked these fushia beads in this piece.

This set is by far my favorite in Lightkeeping's shop. I never wear yellow gold, so anything silver or white gold is going to strike my fancy!

And I may just have to come back to purchase these earrings... Hope nobody snatches them up before me, I need to make a couple sales before I can treat myself!




In addition to the pieces that you can find in her shop, Anastasija is able to make length adjustments to pieces and also welcomes custom orders! That's my kind of shop! You'll also find her in the blogging world at http://lightkeeping.blogspot.com/ where she runs a weekly BESTeam feature and shares other fun tidbits in between! Be sure to visit her Etsy shop and show her some Etsy love!

Lily Loves...

Lately I’ve had a lot of things to keep track of. I’ve made myself notes but they keep getting lost! Lily recommended I use these magnets to keep my notes in order on my fridge. You should probably check out the shops too and find magnets to help with your organization!

Another year older, not sure about wiser!

What a great weekend!


Thank you to everyone that sent me kind birthday wishes! Yesterday I turned 27 and it was a great day! My boyfriend got me a beautiful necklace and ring with my birthstone, aquamarine. Can't wait to get the ring sized to wear everyday! Went out to dinner at Red Lobster and had tasty popcorn shrimp, YUM! Then off to the bowling alley with a dozen of our friends. And this morning, back to work... BLURGH!


Got to spend time with some good girlfriends on Saturday too, painting pottery of course! This time I started a flower pot and traced a butterfly on it. The butterfly will be done in pinks and the background is a light blue. Can't wait to see the end result! Eventually I'd like to have a set of pots with butterflies in different colors. I have about 9 plants between my office and home!

Speaking of butterflies...


Tomorrow's Top 10 will feature 10 different Etsy artists and their gorgeous stained glass pieces with BUTTERFLIES! I love the colors that come with butterfly art and I can't wait to show you the beautiful craftsmanship that I stumbled upon on Etsy. Hope you stop in and comment!
