All About the SNOWMEN

Thats right! those cute little men of the snow! i love them! and along with hearts, which i collect all year, many years ago i have chosen to collect snowmen at christmastime. you'll find them on my tree, walls, and all other types of decor including stuffed animals.

I came across artwhims shop in a thread i was posting/promoting in the other night and saw her snowman ornaments. She was featuring some sports related snowmen, but I didnt see a hockey snowman. I convoed her and lo and behold, a custom order was born!!!! She made me two. One holding a hockey stick and one hugging a puck. Keeping with my hearts addiction however, heres a photo of one of them holding a HEART. Shes very new to etsy. Visit her at http://www.artwhims.etsy.com/ You'll love looking around her shop, and she is very convo friendly, should you have questions.

Now lets see...............hearts and snowmen, snowmen and hearts. Oh look...........christiecottage has some. http://www.christiecottage.etsy.com/ A set of three! Cute hearts made of felt featuring a snowman face gazing at a star. Dont you love the carrot noses???? This set would look darling hanging on any christmas tree. Browse around the shop. Shes got a bevy of miscellaneous gift items and holiday things as well.

Even though i'm in Florida it all makes me want to see the snow and build my own snowman!! nah, not really, but they're cute as heck. If you pop into onceuponatimeagos shop you will find a snowman baby. He's adorable and looks so super soft. Just waiting for someone to come along and cuddle him up! Great price too. http://www.onceuponatimeago.etsy.com/ has lots of different and fun items in her shop. Check it out!!!

HUGS TO THE SNOWMEN!!!!

Mothers Day Cards

Its closer than you think! Lets not forget mother this year. Not sure what to buy for her, or maybe you are going to buy a gift card for her fave store or restaurant. In any event, its always best to start with a card. I have my etsy shop chock full of mothers day cards in anticipation of the big event...........even a few grandma cards in there as well as a card for sister, and am happy to do any kind of custom order. My newest this year is flowerseed cards. Pretty, practical and unique. I think any mom would love one. This week I am offering a special for blog readers. Buy any two cards, card sets or minis and receive one FREE.

Etsy is full of all types of greeting cards, and mothers day is no exception. So, if you are in need of a card for mom, grandma or a special friend, you are only a click away from that perfect greeting. Here in Puppylovecreations shop http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10550550 you will find this awesome sister to sister mothers day card. Of course it has extra appeal to me due to the featured heart on front!!!! Take a look around her shop for more goodies as well!

Butterflychic has this extremely feminine and mom-like card in her shop. I cant help but think how cool this card would be paired with a lavendar nightgown and slippers. My mom loves to get that kind of stuff. Butterfly has not only paper goods, but also graphics, banners, avatars and plugs. If you havent yet visited her shop, be sure to stop by. I'm positive she will have something that you need.

Easter Bunny Soap

I have seem to become a soap collector ever since I joined etsy and have found all the novelty, cute and of course great smelling and useful soaps for sale there. I have more than I would ever wash with, but of course some are too pretty to actually use. If you visit LoveleeSoaps shop http://www.loveleesoaps.etsy.com/ you will ooooh and ahhhh over the cute, whimsy and great quality look of all her soaps. With Easter in mind, and here I am trying to fill baskets, I've been searching around to see what would "fit". She has the cutest bunny soap in her shop ............scented plumeria (one of my fave scents), cucumber melon and what else of course, but chocolate! This little guy would look darling perched inside an Easter basket.







Soap, soap and more soap.......................i found these absolutely adorable, hard to pass up bunny soaps in Sassyfrass's shop. http://www.sassyfrass.etsy.com They are actually egg shaped soaps, with a fruity scent, and inside the soap is a little bunny toy. The packaging on each one looks great. I ordered four for my basket fillers and cant wait to receive them. Sassyfrass is relatively new to etsy, so please show her shop some love and stop by today. I think you'll easily smile at all of her goodies.



GemsandDolls has some awfully cute Easter items in her shop. But sticking with my theme of Easter soap today, what really caught my eye in her shop was the white bunnies (spring rain scented) and as she describes them in her listing: Good Clean Fun. How can you pass these up? They are bright white, bunny shaped, and just plain fun clean looking! Browse her shop and take a look at some of her other items. The "marshmallow scent" really piques my interest. I hope you will visit her today. http://www.gemsanddolls.etsy.com/

STOCKING STUFFERS

Christmas candy and an orange in the toe! thats what i always got in my christmas stocking as a kid.....................well, also stuffed with a bit of assorted small gifts. Most of us who celebrate christmas, do stuff a stocking or two during the season.
