Winter Peppermint Adventure!

It's a Marshmellow World in the Winter.... 

Those are some of the words in one of my favorite Christmas songs.  Ah, Dean Martin.  Just brings back so many memories.  Dean Martin playing on the stereo, the Christmas Tree spinning around on it's revolving stand - and I just can not believe it's time to start thinking about it all over again.

At the Etsy Shoppe, November 1st will be the release of some new ornaments, and it will be a Winter Peppermint Adventure!

Below are just a few offerings that will be available for a limited time.

What a wonderful Welcome into the Peppermint Village!!

Here's Frosty just peeking around the candy waiting for you to stop or should I say shop on by!!  The sign on top can be personalized; making yours a "one of a kind".

Peek a Boo, I Love You!

With all that's going on in the world this year, we all need a little more Love and Versatility!

This wonderful piece can go up for Christmas and Stay around until Valentine's Day!

That certainly makes me smile.

Just call him, Pep ' O Stick!

Here's just one more member of the Peppermint Village!

This fellow just loves to hang around and tassel with the other neighbors in the village!

With a heart warming smile and all that peppermint accent, he too is a winner for the two holiday award!

So remember to circle NOVEMBER 1st on the Calendar and get ready for some peppermint twist.  :D

October is Breast Cancer Awareness

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month...

For my part, I am donating money earned from the sale of my Little Cherry Girl (left) to the 

Susan G. Komen Foundation.

This Cherry Girl is made from one of my most favorite

 Cherry inspired fabric from my 

local quilting shoppe.

She's perfect for Any Special Gal that you know -

Especially, when you know what her "pinkness" 

represents!

Please, this month, pester, nag, annoy every female in your

life to get a mammogram.  :D 

The Colors of Fall

Ok, Fall has officially arrived.  

I type this as the temperature has brought us back to those of the summer!!

But I must admit that it is a very colorful time.  

As I was walking around my neighborhood, seeing the pumpkins and mums out on the doorsteps; the festive atmosphere is starting to build for the winter holidays.

Did I say winter?  Nooooo!  Not yet!  

Being a creative person, I must think so far ahead to keep up with all the festivities that are soon to arrive.

Here are just a few items that I've chose to feature here, that I currently have listed at my Etsy Shoppe!

Leaves Abound with this wonderful wreath ornament.  It's so unique and I just love making it with the terrific color combinations!

Wonderful jeweled colored lolli's are the next item featured!  They are glazed to a perfect shine for the wonderful fall wreath or even if you dare... tree!!

They were a custom order for a customer... I loved them so much I decided to make another set and name them after her... so here are Carrie's Delights!

Here's Candy!

Yes, as you can see she's holding her favorite fall veggie, Candy Corn!!  But Candy also has a wonderful friend with her, Jeffrey.  He's trained and a perfect companion!

Coming over the weekend... a great Bouquet that GLOWs in the DARK!!

Do you dare??!!  :D

End of Summer Vacation

I find myself in a very fortunate position - enjoying the last "un-official" days of summer, sunning by the ocean; listening to the crashing waves.

Today, my sister asked (mind you as we were both sitting on the beach), "why do people just sit and watch the ocean, like it's a tv?"

I told her, "I don't know, Jo. All I know is that I do it and it's just an amazing show."

To me it's heaven. How many of us have this same sort of feeling watching something of meaning in our lives. What is yours? Let me know. I would be very interested!
