oh no!

A storm blew through here Wed., Thurs. and Fri. night. OMG do we need a roof! The rain was just pouring in. A few things got damaged but we caught the worst of it before all was lost. Thurs. morning it was raining hammer and nails for hours. By the time I got out there I needed an umbrella in the store. Geoff ( my husband) went into action,( like the super hero that he is) ran upstairs with buckets and tubs while I moved all the merchandise to a safe place. He finally got it under control but by then the displays were torn apart and I had to dry things off & start all over again trying to set things back up so I could open at 11am. I have no pictures to show but I promise you - it was a drag. I guess I'm using my blog to kvetch but I'm sick of all the problems we've had since this project began.
The good news is - today I sold 1 of my giant cabbages! What a riot. 2 bucks closer to the roof! Thanks followers for allowing me to vent. Big sigh-
till next time...

oooohhhh pretty things!

I know my last post was a little wordy so lets look at some pictures. We'll start with some handbags and jewelry.

I made a few totes, fully lined with magnetic closures. Cosmetic bags, wallets and change purses to match. Of course no ensemble would be complete without a coordinating fedora and silk crochet capelet!

A closer look.

The wallet- It has a little bow tie on the front.

Fully lined with a zipper and magnetic closure to keep all your goodies safe. Fits a checkbook, a good stash of cash etc. If you prefer something smaller the change purse fits c.c., folded cash and change.

Cool greens and turquoise.

A little closer

Soooo pretty in pink and green.

An assortment of placemat handbags, cotton crochet, crochet rag bags and oops! You can start to see some jewelry, fabulous fedoras, swarovski crystal key rings and those funny flower things that keep showing up are pens with their very own bud vase.

I'll leave you with a taste of the real deal jewelry- fresh water pearls, crystal, garnets, citrine , amethyst, quartz and jasper all reasonably priced. We'll talk later about the crochet wraps and capelets.

And no good shopkeeper would be without the $10- rack of deliciously drapey necklaces. So drool on ladies till next time.
ciao for now!
