Christmas Time

Christmas is my second-favorite holiday, next to Thanksgiving. Most of my reasons for loving these holidays are related to food, family, and time off from work. Also a favorite holiday: my birthday.

But, back to my point. I made some Christmas ornaments out of some old laminated ephemera!
Little classic cars!
Also a holiday / special event reminder:
I offer FREE gift wrapping with my online items - just drop me a note with your purchase.

This is thanks to the last 30 years my mother collecting more gift wrap than I could ever use in my lifetime. I even have old vintage gift wrap. But that's for me. Yay, mom!

Fancy and Fun for December

Not only did I finish my ornaments for work:But I made some little car ornaments to sell online! I'll get them pictured here tomorrow.
But today, I'd like to show off some new cuffs!
This awesome green and brown number is listed on Coriandr!
And this powerful red and blue is on Etsy!
I'm still feeling a little sniffly, but much better! Those sick days are such a bummer when you can't get anything done! I ended up watching House Party movies on the couch instead of leather-working yesterday.

Kicked Out!

I was actually sent home from work this morning. Granted, I'm probably still contagious and I had an allergic reaction to my antibiotics so I had to stop taking them, (and let's not forget the ever-present cough...) but still, why couldn't they have sent me home one of those days when I was pouring mucus from my eyeballs and couldn't breathe? Huh.

SO anyways, I'm trying to decide whether or not I should chance going back later tonight for a short shift. I really do need the money, but I also need to heal. Decisions, decisions.....

In the meantime, I've decided to give you another glance into my favorites on Etsy:
my aunt Dorothy!!
She has her own Etsy shop, OldGrandma, which hasn't picked up much wind lately. She's so far listed her handmade ornaments (I have a few of these for our tree). They're very beautiful and lightweight ornaments with a classic victorian feel.She makes these pretty little creations in her beautiful and scenic town of Mackinaw City, Michigan. Which reminds me.... I want some fudge.
