We are supporting each other by purchasing products from each other all around the US. Bath & Body, Candles, Make-Up, Clothes, Jewelry, Art, Baby Items, Health items, and the list goes on.

My own personal experience has been wonderful....we help each other with marketing, promoting & website ideas. The commradre is like no other I have ever seen.

One Hour

One hour...that's all it lasted. I love it when it only lasts for one hour. It's only happened once before...a LONG time ago. Why can't it only last one hour for everything?



Listed this scarf the other day at 4 and it sold at 5! "HOORAY" I thought as I danced around the computer. Every sale gets the Happy Dance but the One Hour sale is the Super Happy Dance moment in life. Dancing, singing and arms flaring around is usually what happens...but this has only happened once before so I guess there is no specific Super Happy Dance decided just yet.





Although, with your help I think I can come up with a specific SHD today. Just listed this scarflette about 30 mins ago so there are 30 mins left. We'll see.......

My newest

Hello all!! Just a quick Saturday post telling you what my two newest items are. I guess you can say that I have Christmas on my mind! And, I've even started my Christmas shopping...I love it when I start early! In fact, all items have come from Etsy...so I think that is what tomorrow's post will be. In the meantime....


These are my new Christmas Wine Charms. Perfect as a hostess gift for a holiday party or even if you like to give parties!



These are my Pear Christmas Cards, Set of 10. I thought pears would be a welcomed addition to my growing collection of Christmas Cards.






I hope everybody is have a great Weekend thus far!

Autumn is in the air!!

Summer is my least favorite month.....it's hot and sticky and sweaty, high electric bills (due to it being hot and sticky so much so that I can't even sit on my couch w/o sticking to it if the AC isn't on), sand all throughout my car, children home from school for 2 months (not just my own child...but all the neighborhood kids) which leads to arguments, fights, me yelling.


Winter is my 2nd least favorite month. It's just too darn cold....can't put the heat on 75 all the time because we can just bundle up to save on the electric bill (so my husband thinks), stuck in my cold house 'cause of ice storms, school closings. The only part of Winter I like is Christmas. I get SO excited wrapping gifts, putting them under the tree after my son falls asleep and then watching him see the presents for the first time is just magical.





Autumn......right in the middle. Fresh brisk air..not too cold...so windows can be open and the air can penetrate my senses! The colors of autumn are soothing and comforting, Autumn is when I begin making my homemade chicken soup & pumpkin pies & cream of wheat. There's Halloween, Thanksgiving....and, Autumn is when I begin my Christmas shopping in preparation for my favorite holiday.


My favorite season? Spring! But I'll wait until Spring comes to tell you why I love this season so.
