I was featured on Rare Bird Finds!

Last week, unbeknownst to me, I was featured on Rare Bird Finds! How cool is that!
I have had a whole lot of traffic in my etsy store and I have sold several of the moeko pendant.

Also Susan Snyder of SES Designs was featured on the friday page. Susan picked my modern leaf neckpiece as one of her favorites! Twice in one week! I feel honoured!

Some things I Purchased

I always get my stickers and cards from this&that and i have always been very happy with them. I like the idea of supporting a fellow etsyan

they are exactly like my banner and they always arrive on time and are really well made.

I believe it's important to support the handmade community instead of some of the large card/sticker companies.

Anyway, I hope that you'll check her shop out and next time that you need card, stickers, etc, you'll convo leslie

Some Lovely Sydney Spots

Last week was my daughter's birthday (the one wearing the cap), so one of the things we did was to take her & a friend to Luna Park for the WHOLE day.... I was exhausted just hanging around waiting for them to go on all the rides as I don't enjoy being spun around & thrown around, upside down & inside out.....Arrrrgh..... It would make me ill...

So the girls went and enjoyed hours of this torture (for me it was torture, they thought it was wonderful...)

After I checked out the photos I remembered what a beautiful city we live in!

The Sydney Harbour Bridge was right in the background.

It was slighty cooler as it is winter (about 10C). This winter has been alot cooler that previous winters. The snow in the mountains (yes we have mountains too) seems to have lasted longer and it has snowed alot more there than what I remember.

FRONT PAGE

I was on the front page of etsy the other day, and thanks to my wonderful friend marsha , who took a snapshot of it because she knows how totally tech unco i am...
(check out her etsy shop: http://marshatoh.etsy.com/
and her blog : http://www.marshatoh.blogspot.com/)
I had the image on here but I think that for some reason etsy didn't approve so it dissapeared and there was a sad face instead. Oh well, nevermind. It was a really lovely frontpage put together by nyhedy, one of the metalsmiths who sells her work through etsy. I will make the next post about the etsymetal group that I belong to and will show some examples of their work if it is allowed.
