Luck of the Irish

All things green. Now lets see, theres not much Irish in me, and at this time of year, I sometimes like to put a spin on the old saying "kiss me I'm Irish", by saying "kiss me, I'm Italian", hahahahaha.................but anyway, at this time of year, its all about the shamrock and all about the green.

As always, I browse around Etsy, one of my favorite places, and here are a few of the shamrocks I have found. First, I visit Olebaglady's shop. http://www.olebaglady.etsy.com What an ingenious idea and a great substitute for the regular "gift bags". Just stick your gift in, tie it up and go. Fits odd sized gifts easily and is pretty, economical and best of all, the recipient can save it and pass it on when they give a gift. Pictured here is one of olebaglady's minis. I love them. And believe me, I HAVE PLENTY OF THEM!!! Visit her shop and look around. She has lots and lots to choose from and I guarantee you'll have a great time.

Next, as I'm looking around, I find the cutest little bows in the shop of littleladyboutique's shop. http://www.littleladyboutique.etsy.com I have no little ones to buy them for, but you definitely have to admit they are darling. Take a gander around her shop, if you have little girls to buy for. There are cutie patootie things aplenty. Have a fun time.

My last stop, as always, is in my own shop. http://www.craftheart.etsy.com Do I have anything green, Irish or shamrocky???? of course I do, and what does it say???? You guessed it! Kiss me I'm Irish!!!!! Enter "shamrock blog" in note to seller and receive 4 FREE mini heart soaps with any purchase in my shop, thru Feb 22nd, 2008. Have a happy crafting day

Blogging about EGGS

Well its getting to be that time of year................time for the EGG!!! Easter is right around the corner and colorful and fun eggs will be turning up just about everywhere you look, but especially in my favorite place.........................ON ETSY! There are just so many different kinds and colors and styles.....................from glass eggs to plastic eggs, foam eggs to crochet eggs. But all are special in their own way. First, I'd like for you to take a look in Darcy's shop. http://www.darcy777.etsy.com she has lots of crochet, and puts a lot of love and attention in each piece. And if you dont believe me, you can ask my cat Rajah..................he HAS a few of her creations, and he only will take the best of the best!!!!!

Next, lets take a little trip over to my favorite (and should be yours)...............the wonderfully yummy shop of sweetspice! http://www.sweetspice.etsy.com/ All things bath and body, and quite honestly one is better than the next! I have purchased way too much from her shop already, but on the other hand, it can never be enough. One of my most recent purchases??? you guessed it?? THE EGG.................very colorful and very Easter basket ready. I will probably get more, cause i wont be able to give this one away!!!! Visit her shop and tell her i sent you! I promise you wont be disappointed.

Of course, not to be left out, I also have an egg or two in my etsy shop. http://www.craftheart.etsy.com/ Mine would also love to peek out of someones special Easter basket. Mention my blog this week and receive 10% off any item in my shop.
