Celebrations

These are my birthday flowers :)

You know I like freshly cut flowers in my house! It feels like a different kind of energy floats through here when I have them. I just wish I got them more often ;)

So today, I'm working, but not quite as much as normal (birthday orders;). The day started rather slowly and I spent a good chunk of it just sitting on my front porch sipping coffee, talking to the Mister, while the boys hopped around blowing bubbles.

It was nice :)

Today is going to be mellow....can't get too wild on a Monday ;) 

I did have a super fun birthday celebration, though, on Saturday. My friend (and neighbor) just so happens to have the exact same birthday, so we decided to have a joint b-day bash.

It was fun, fun, fun :)

And on to more important news:

We are having a sale. It's another celebration of sorts.

It's our Etsy anniversary/Grand opening of our web shop sale.

It starts right now and will be going on until June 15th. Our website has the sale prices in place, whereas on Etsy we will be issuing the paypal refund after the purchase has been made.

I put all those details in my newsletter as well, which went out about half an hour ago.

Lots of good stuff going on ;)

I just can't believe it's been one year for Etsy!!

OH! And I'm also having a giveaway over here.

By the way, you really should add that gorgeous blog to your reading list.

 Stock full of inspiration.

Okay off to have lunch.....have a great day :)

One year ago.......

 ....this week, I opened my Etsy shop.

 This was my first sale:

I have grown so much in this past year. 

Who knew that embarking on this path would change me in so, so many ways.....where even I am amazed... surprised......I don't know, what other adjective can I use to express this feeling?? 

But, it's huge....whatever it is. 

I love it.

I'm consumed by it.

And I'm flat-out proud of it.

Thank you, thank you , thank you.......

for ALL of your support :)

My day...

I finally curated a treasury of my own to showcase the work of some other amazing artists on Etsy. I am really in such awe of much of the work I see on that site. I pulled pieces from my own favorites list...a few of which I have already posted on this site. They all have the same basic color scheme. It was really a lot of fun to do this...I am already thinking of my next one!

If you have a chance please take a look at these lovely pieces by clicking on the image above. I really am very inspired by these people!

Below is a picture of some of the cabochons I bought in Buena Vista.

I will be working hard on these boys all week.

Well moving on, so far this has been my day: I woke up, had a cup of Earl Grey and created the treasury. Next, we went for a nice long bike ride around town and ended up at a park for lots of running and swinging! After that we went and ate brunch here, which is one of our favorite spots in Boulder. I highly recommend it...it's a local favorite. Then we came home threw the kids in bed and had our afternoon coffee on our front porch here:

Now after I finish up this blog and my second cup of coffee! I will start working through all of the pictures I took on our drive to Buena Vista.

After that it is a glass of wine for my husband and I on the back porch while our boys watch Finding Nemo...it's our anniversary ;)

Fiesta

Yesterday was my parents anniversary and today is my dad's birthday, so since yesterday the mood has been very celebratory ;) Below is a pic of a few things that we have been digging into...

Right now it is time for some apple pie, ice cream, evening coffee (yum yum ) and some good conversation.

Have a great night!
