Saturday Sings Around the World

Dreary, cloudy day....but it's Saturday and that's always fun! Except for the shirts I need to iron. :-(

But before the day actually begins with the ironing, I have this urge to share with you some great finds from wonderful Etsy sellers from around the world. Of course, to get on this blog (at least for this month), all these artists featured something from my shop in one of their treasuries!!

Nanouke warmed me up with this gorgeous golden treasury. Woo Hoo!

Wedding bells are ringing with this treasury curated by madeofjacinta. My tuxedo stack of envelopes fit well (I think)!

I think the unique use of fabric makes madeofjacinta's shop stand above all the rest!!

Cocoabeans created a foggy treasury that really looks like chocolate to me! :-P


I've succumbed to the buyer's itch in Cocoabeans' shop. Just bought some soap and dischclothes. I know I won't be disappointed!



Have a great weekend everyone!!

The Countdown Begins

Tuesday - 3 more days until the end of school for the kids! I am so excited because that gives me a much needed break. I'll give myself a couple of weeks off and then begin planning for next school year.

Perhaps next weekend we'll put up our pool. We usually do it over the Memorial Day weekend but were out hiking, biking, and parade watching so we never got around to it. This week is scheduled for some rain, so we'll wait until it's a little warmer.

It's never to cool to put up some treasuries featuring PHP or RAR, though. And I've got a few to share with you all. Without batting an eyelash was curated by mariasoleil. She picked some of my pinback buttons featuring birds. Lovely, lovely, lovely!!

Check out these wonderful paper creations by a fellow Michigander! Mariasoleil hits the feminine spot in me.




The Shady Yellow Family is not really of questionable merit (I hope), but I may need to find out from cthings just what she meant by that title. I love how my mini notebook fit right in with the rest of these shady characters!


Cindy has some beautiful jewelry in her shop. I love this watch and necklace!



The time is now was a beautiful treasury created by melfitz. These colors just warm my heart and soul. Thanks Fitzy for featuring PHP!!


I love the burgundy color in both of these pieces. I have so much fun looking through Mel's shop. I requst, no demand, that you go visit her shop as well! :-)



My First Thoughts when visiting this treasury were, "wow"!! and then, "where's my item"? I always enjoy looking at treasuries like this one by CocoaBeans because each piece contributes to the whole to make for a very eye-pleasing viewing.


CocoaBeans -- what does that mean to you? Chocolate; coffee and chocolate; chocolate, coffee and then more chocolate? Well to me it means some way cool soap and washclothes. Perfect fun in the shower with both of these items.



Still Frost in the Morning was created way back in the cooler days of Spring, but it sure looks hot here! I love each item in this treasury! Ureshii sure knows how to make an eclectic, fun list!!

Hello, lovely clothes! Always elegant in any of Amanda's clothes!!




Go vote: Hey I just found out that some of PHP's cufflinks are being featured in another voting contest on Etsy!! Please check out all the items and vote for your favorite!!

What a wonderful way to celebrate my 30th wedding anniversary!! All these past lovely treasuries and a nice feature on Etsy! Woo Hoo!!!!

May Love

I love May!! I mean I really love May!!! Spring is here, birds are singing, grass is green and the kids are outside playing! It's also a great month for celebrating - birthday, Mother's Day, anniversary -- all nicely spread throughout the month. I'm also loving the treasuries which featured RunAliceRun and PipingHotPapers. I love the kindness shown to me each time I see a gold star outside the treasury lists! Thanks everyone for thinking of me when creating your wondrous treasuries.

Dennice (a/k/a Fringe) made a great treasury featuring her son's new shop - Suspicious Pie. I'm so glad she included some of my owl magnets. I thought they looked great!!


Would you please take a look at some of fringe's gorgeous collection of shawls?? Beautiful!!



Okay, she's going shopping and I hope Sarah from SarahJohnAfana found just what she was looking for!! Great choices and perfect curation!! Thanks California Girl!!

I found some new cards which I will need to purchase real soon from SarahJohnAfana! I love her cards! They are the larger size so there's lots of room to write. Go visit the shop if you know what's good for you!!



Got milk? Yes, cow's, soy, goat's, rice, wait! I don't think that's what humblebea meant. What did you mean, Natalie??



So cute, so wonderful. Check out the wee gnomes and birds in Natalie's shop!



Last but not least is this gorgeous evening of romance treasury by CocoaBeans. I do love red!!

Shower/bath puff, washclothes and soaps are featured in Diana's shop.




What are you doing this weekend?? Celebrating a special day? Have fun!!!

Clean Room

My husband and I are having troubles with our 13 year old daughter. I've been through these issues before (I have a 26 year old), but I guess I didn't learn anything from that experience. Here's the situation - she claims her room is her personal space and she can keep it as neat or cluttered as she wants. Hello, child, but I can't see the floor! Her dad didn't like that attitude last night and has now given her a writing assignment for school today (we homeschool so we can do that). I told her she should start paying rent for her room if she wants to keep it that messy. Any suggestions?

That's why I come to the treasuries so often. Everything is nice, neat and in it's proper place. Take a look at a few treasuries that included items from PipingHotPapers and RunAliceRun!

This was very delightful to my eyes and spirit. I think Olaladesign outdid herself with this gorgeous treasury!

Olaladesign has some very creative jewelry pieces in her shop. Everything is nice, neat and in it's place!

it is what it is was a treasury featuring some magnets from RunAliceRun. I think it is what it is was very neat and orderly. Thanks CocoaBeans for featuring me. I felt the love and pat on my back for the rough times I've been going through with messy rooms and such.

I love the colors CocoaBeans uses in all her crocheted items. Bright, fun, clean, neat, not messy!




Kodomo is cute, Kodomo is fun, Kodomo's treasury made it to the front page! Yippee!!


Don't you just love the fabric on this cat? I just want to squeeze it to death! Cute cat Kodomo!! (I love the donut, too!)



I know I'll get over being irritated with "you know who." All these Etsy sellers have helped tremendously on this rainy day in Michigan! Thanks, ladies!!!
