New Stuff on Etsy

2011-04-07T08:15:00.000-04:00

I haven't been able to get around lately as well as I should. I fell on the cement floor of a restaurant - causing an extreme bruise to my knee cap. So, it will be about another 6-8 weeks before it is healed. The restaurant has been very cooperative and understanding. Except, it has caused great pain and kept me from getting around like I normally do. All I can say to restaurants is to keep your floors clean - grease and water are really not meant for floors!

Since I am slightly immobile, I have not been capable of creating and getting items all the items I want loaded onto Etsy. However, I have finally decided to buy a new camera. Yes, I was told by a little gal at Best Buy I owned a "dinosaur" digital camera. That's OK with me really, but I need to get really detailed pictures of my items and I cannot with my "dinosaur"! Every time I turn around, my camera's batteries are dead. I told the little gal she should see my cell phone! She got a great laugh when she saw that one. So we are going today to get a new camera - then very soon, a new sewing machine that will actually make an automatic buttonhole! Little things make me happy, what can I say?

The snowbirds are leaving SW Florida now. The streets are beginning to free up a bit. It is still beautiful here, however. The rainy season has not arrived yet, so it is a great time to lie in the sun and rest my beaten-up knee. (I know - the sun is bad for you - but I use sun protection!)

Do you love Doll Clothes?

2011-03-25T11:38:00.000-04:00

I love doll clothes. In fact, I love anything to do with vintage dolls. I collect doll dishes, Barbie dolls and their clothes, doll aluminum baking items - pretty much anything! I even have a collection of doll shoes. A bit strange - but then again, that's me. I have listed several on Etsy - Henny Penny Mercantile. I also have taken a picture of the first button necklace I made. This one is staying with me! If you would like something like this .. just let me know. I also made them in aqua, coral, purple, pink and lime green. I have taken them off Etsy to sell privately.

Since the batteries in my camera are dead again ... I will list more tomorrow! Have a great day!

Button Necklaces

2011-03-24T17:11:00.000-04:00

I have deleted these necklaces from my Etsy site. I have decided to sell them privately. If you would like to purchase one, please contact me at oldbuttons@comast.net. I am sorry to cause you any problems. A store contacted me and I would love to go that route regarding selling!

I am going to be listing many other - hopefully interesting - things soon. Just need to get the pics loaded and we will go from there. Doll dresses, state tags, etc.

Again, contact me directly if you would like to purchase a necklace you saw for what seems to be a minute!

Thanks again to all of you for your understanding and stay tuned.

I am a huge fan of Lori Brechlin's work. Her company, Notforgotten Farm, designs the cutest and most beautiful cross stitch patterns. This is called "Ah, 'tis Spring"!

Eye Candy

2011-03-23T10:50:00.000-04:00

Decided to show you some previews of the bottles I will be offering soon. They are a little hard to see, but I will be loading them onto Etsy soon.

I also decided to show some vignettes I have around my house. I just love to create little displays ... just to look at. Looking at a bowl full of white buttons just makes me happy. I know ...."I live in my own little world, but it's OK, "they" know me there"!

New Stuff on Etsy!!

2011-03-22T18:09:00.000-04:00

I have decided to start blogging again. I have been very busy creating a new product - button necklaces. I have them listed on Etsy under Henny Penny Mercantile.

I have also decided to start showing all of you the beauty that surrounds me here in Florida. So, I am going to grab my camera and start shooting the beautiful things that I see everyday.

I promise to be a little more diligent about posting. :)
