Ooh you crafty thing (and a local giveaway!)

Oh, we should all be so fortunate as to make a living off of our own creations.

Pictured above and below are a few of the many items featured at the Sugarloaf Craft Festival, traveling the East Coast and coming to Hartford this weekend, March 27-29. If you are local and would like to attend, leave a comment and you could win some of the free tickets the organizers were kind enough to send to me specifically to share with you.

Please leave your comment (or email me) by midnight Tuesday so I can mail you your tickets in time for you to use them this weekend.

Spring in a Ring

This is one of my new favorite things, my robin's egg ring from Cindy at Starry Designs on Etsy. Her designs are lovely, with great workmanship and a simple essence to them that make them a joy to wear. Plus, she includes a cute little magnet in the box with your item, and ties it all up with a brown satin ribbon. (I am such a sucker for packaging).
