Wordless Wednesday - Chillin' Out

Holiday Shoppers are Here

If you're still working on listing items for the holidays, I encourage you to get them listed soon. Holiday shoppers are out there they are ready to buy! As a shop owner, I really appreciate these early birds :) I've already started selling several ornaments, so I decided to list a couple new options to my shop. Per usual, these both came from custom requests and I thought they were too great not to add for others.

 I'm loving this little Mason Jar Ornament. I've had several other mason jar items in my shop for a while now, but never thought to make an ornament until the custom request came in. I've been seeing lots of rustic Christmas decor this year, so I think these are spot on.

And I've made four IronMan Ornaments for the same buyer over the last two years and decided that this might be something that others would enjoy. Turns out I was right as I've already sold two more of these to other buyers since listing them last week!

Is your shop ready for the holidays?

Wordless Wednesday - Shipping Snoopervisor

Ashlyn & Addie

I recently got to make a couple of cute Name Albums. I haven't been making many of these lately. In fact, I don't currently have them listed in my shop. While they are fun to make, they are incredibly time-consuming. And this time of year, time isn't a commodity I have a lot of. But I have a handful of customers that I've made these for in the past who order every year. This family goes to Disney every year and likes to take custom autograph books with them.

Each year I have fun working with their new themes and characters.

Ashlyn is very into a character that I had honestly never heard of called Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.

Because he's fairly obscure, I had to make a lot of the papers and embellishments myself for this book. I was really happy with how it turned out and I know Ashlyn will be super excited to have her own Oswald album!

 

Addie is more girly and likes pinks and purples. We went with a girly/princess theme for her book.

Now if I could just convince the family to take me along next year :)

After sharing so many great items on Wednesday and with the temperatures dropping quickly, I spent some time searching Etsy for all things warm and cozy. From hats and scarves to warm blankets to snuggle up under, I hope you'll enjoy the selection.

Customer Appreciation

Today I'd like to take a moment to thank a few of my customers who have purchased buttons from my shop. One of the things I love most about selling custom buttons is that I get to see the fun creations they go on. From crocheted baby hats to cute coffee koozies, I love the array of ideas!

The3AndersonGirls sell lots of cute items to keep you warm in the up-coming chilly months. This Bunny Hood is just adorable!

ANodToMod sells lots of adorable baby items from blankets to cute little hats. These particular hats come with a custom button with their name on it!

 JudithsCrochet creates lots of little items for boys and girls whose mommy's suffered from HG (Kate Middleton suffered from this with her first child). I love how she turned the HG into TougHGirl and TougHGuy! These hats are so cute in all their fun colors!

 

LoopinWithLove has a shop full of fun items for kids big and small. I couldn't resist sharing this pink and purple hat! And the ear warmer will be much needed very soon I'm afraid.

SavannaStitch has a great collection of items to keep you warm this winter. Including slippers for your feet or a cosy for your hands. You can't beat a pink and gray cosy :)

Almost Wordless Wednesday - 2 and a Half Cats

Meet the newest kitty at our house :) He's still pretty skiddish, but I can pet him if he's eating. He's slowly coming around. For now, we call him "half a cat". As in, we don't officially have three cats, but we do have two and a half...lol.
