Monday in Michigan

This is one lovely day in Michigan -- blue skies, warm temps, green grass, and some beautiful items from Etsy peeps making gorgeous treasuries featuring one of my shops! Can't beat that after a busy weekend.

MichiganHemp is from Michigan and made a gorgeous treasury! Really!


Check out these great items - both using hemp and a camera from MichiganHemp.

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!!!

When It's Raining Outside Enjoy the Treasuries!

I've been enjoying the coming spring weather this past weekend. Saturday was spent with the family riding bikes and soaking up the sun (along with the rest of the population wanting to get outside instead of being cooped up in the house). Sunday was spent discovering new items from my favorite collage artist -- but that's for another post.

Some of the treasuries PHP has been featured in remind me so much of spring that I just want to stay in these treasuries and enjoy the colors and feelings of new beginnings. Over the Rainbow by TwoLeftHands is no exception to the color splash! I think my mirror fit right in...


Liz never ceases to amaze me in the creations I see in her shop. She has been around just about as long as me. In fact, she celebrated her 2nd year on Etsy just last week! Congratulations, Liz! Are we done having fun yet?





There's another seller on Etsy that reminds me a lot of Liz -- and that's humblebea. Wait, Natalie is Liz's daughter! No wonder they both make me laugh all the time. I bet if these two are together for any length of time they have the entire room rolling on the floor. Well, maybe not the entire room, but everybody in the room!

Natalie made a beautiful treasury which eventually was featured on the front page of Etsy. I think I received a record number of shop hearts and item hearts during the hour it was on the front page. Thanks for the love, Natalie.


Check out humblebea's shop for some cute baby outfits and just as cute papier mache creations!




Monicaj made a sure thing when this hit the list of treasuries. The green is just screaming for spring and my matchbook notepads feel right at home. I think if Monica ever came to Michigan, Liz, Natalie and I would make an extra effort to hunt her down and have a great time together.


Check out Monica's store for some great original art and crocheted goodness. Also visit Monica's other shop - Monicajtwo - for beautiful jewelry!




Life is good - enjoy it to the fullest!

Hubby is gone - now what?

When your spouse goes out of the country for over two weeks, what do you do? I've been kind of despondent, but the weather here is so nice I need to pull myself up by the boot straps and get on with life.

Here's where he is. Can anyone guess the location?




Don't you just love color? I put these beautiful pictures together in Treasury West and love coming to it. They lift me up in the midst of missing my hubby. You can see this entire treasury only until Monday, June 9.
