Free Gift Box with Job's Tears Earrings

After a busy weekend at Winterfair, I want to give my Etsy shoppers the same perfect gift-giving opportunity. With the purchase of a pair of Farmer Fox Job's Tears earrings you'll receive a free brown gift box tied in raffia. This lovely packaging creates an organic feel to the entire gift. I'll even ship them directly to your loved one's address if you let me know it's a gift. What could be a more thoughtful (and easy to give) give for the women on your list? This offer extends to December 25, 2008.

Golden leaves are Falling

Taking this tote with you can make errands a breeze. Fill it with Christmas shopping, library books, your newspaper, yoga clothes, or whatever fills your life. It's amazing how a beautiful bag can make a day more extraordinary!

Today there's a definite chill in the air. As the last leaves fell, I was inspired to add seven glove puppies to the growing line of Paula's Playfuls handcrafted animals on my site . Here's just one of these irresistable pups! View more new puppies on the right.

Winterfair!

Winterfair 2008 is one Christmas shopping event not to be missed! This is the place to find the perfect gift for those you love. This will be my first year as a featured artist at this fantastic shopping event. For those who haven't attended here's the scoop. It's a juried art show featuring unique, handcrafted items in Louisville, KY on December 5th and 6th. I submitted five categories to be judged and all five were admitted. They include my sister Paula's one of a kind handmade animals and gorgeous flowers, my sister Janet's Ky grown and artistic job's tears jewelry line, my mother's beautifully sewn totes and purses featuring quilting to modern fabrics, and my fine art photography. Hope to see you there!

Here's the website with information about this year's 18th Annual Winterfest!

aFairTrade :: Mod Curlique Purse

The Curlique is a modern purse using heavyweight IKEA cotton fabric for inspiration. This graphic red and white swirl is whimsical and fun to wear. Created from designer fabric and sewn with precision, you'll know you're wearing a work of art. This purse is large enough for shopping and those extra items you carry. The interior lining is in a white cotton with batting for shape and support. The interior bottom of the bag is reinforced with a covered panel for a structured base. Three inside pockets separate your favorite belongings for easy access.

First Blog

Hi all -
Welcome to my blog! It's a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon. When checking my Etsy shop a few minutes ago I found my way to a blog online. Before I knew it, I'd created my own page! I'll post back often with shop news and updates on my day-to-day world. Now it's time for an evening walk on the family farm.
