I just found an interesting concept being started by Jess at Epheriell Designs, Handmade May. I think every month we should try and buy handmade/local as much as possible, so I can definitely get on board with this. With the warmer weather coming up, there will be lots of outdoor shows and festivals, so buying handmade crafty goodness should be easy. And since Mother's day is coming up, be sure to check my etsy for all kinds of gift ideas, from outdoor decor to serving pieces. I've also added jewelry to my shop as well.

Etsy Etsy Etsy!
Yay, my plates made it into another treasury:
Christmas 2009
I really really really hope this feature leads to a sale. Although I do have 2 upcoming shows I will be bringing them to. My etsy shop has been open since February of 2009 and my goal was to make 52 online sales, or one per week. So far I am at 46. Will I make it? Next sale, I will be treating myself to this awesomeness:
It is not that I dislike my office job...ok maybe it is. I would just love to create all day long, and still be able to pay the bills. So, in essence, each sale brings me one step closer to my dream. Baby steps, baby steps...

Happy Festivus!
Spending the day at local holiday craft fairs got me thinking about my favorite holiday songs. Of course my absolute favorite would be the original Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer by Gene Autrey. We knew it was Christmas when my Grandpa would break out the old record and put it on. Here it is on youtube, in all it's crackily glory:
TOTALLY brought a tear to my eye...but enough sappy talk, on to the ROCK! Hands down, Billy Squier is my second favorite. In this video, the ORIGINAL MTV VJ's appear. You might remember them, Martha, Nina, JJ, Alan & Mark:
Remember when MTV played music? Crazy I know.
And just because Hall & Oates are too funny, their version of Jingle Bell Rock:
How does Jon do it? Hot after all these years...
Chuck Berry, Run Run Rudolph:
How can you not love it?
Last but not least, the Kinks:
NOW I'm really in the holiday spirit, time to shop. I think I'll start on etsy. My Christmas special is buy a bar of handmade soap and a soapdish, the soap will ship FREE! Check it out:
