Okay! I have to admit that I have completely fallen down on the job this year when it comes to my shop! By falling down on the job, I mean I’ve basically made nothing, and I’ve basically listed almost nothing. And I certainly haven’t promoted anything!
And yet, I’ve bought a ton of new materials over the last few months! Yeah, it makes a lot of sense! But finally this past week I got to work!
I made a lot of new pieces, including *newsflash* my very first ever handstamped jewelry pieces! Ahh! And usually I will make things, and I may or may not photograph them that day, and I may or may not list them that week or even at all. (I know, Bad Shop Owner!) But I’m very excited about these! I photographed them the same day! And I listed almost all of them in one sitting! And I’m already posting about them. I’m on a roll!
Anway here are some of my favorites. Hope you like them!

As a history major, I loved studying Irish history in college. And aside from that, I pretty much love anything Irish or Celtic: the culture, the music, the symbols, and not to mention, it is such a beautiful place. I hope I get to go there one day! (And by the way, I’m also part Irish on my mom’s side.)

Who doesn’t love monogrammed items? I had the chance to choose something from Miss Lucy Monograms, which offers avariety of items for babies, kids, and adults. From their selection I chose this Houndstooth backpack:
This is a really great great. It’s made of good, sturdy material, and the size is 11W X 13H X 6D, which makes it perfect to carry as a purse, work bag, or diaper bag. Or you could possibly use this to carry to a class or conference. There’s room in it for your notebook and even a netbook or a smaller laptop.Personally I’ve been wanting a backpack purse to carry when I’m out all day shopping, at a ball game/concert, or other event where you’re walking around for a long period of time.
Backpack purses are convenient, because they free up your hands. And this one has plenty of compartments and enclosures for all your stuff. And of course, it’s houndstooth is very popular right now. (Of course, if you live in the great state of Alabama like me, houndstooth is always in style!)
Miss Lucy Monograms has so many other items you can choose from as well. Their baby items include bibs, burpies, blankets, and cups. And they also have tumbler cups for adults, as well as keychains, aprons, and items for the home. They have a variety of bright colors and patterns to fit your unique style, as well as a variety of fonts for your initials or name.
