Hope for Whirled Peas

I'm trying not to miss posting too many days, but with our upcoming move and closing the extra eBay store in addition to normal daily life stuff I'm pretty frazzled. Finding That's Headley! Jewelry Designs was enough to make me slow down and enjoy a minute of calm and peace, or I guess I should say peas. Although this artisan has a lovely and somewhat varied collection of jewelry, it was the Whirled Peas that caught my attention. Not only are these pieces lovely to wear and very affordable, a donation to an organization that supports families of injured military personnel, the Fisher House Foundation, is made for each purchase, and these pieces ship at no extra cost. It doesn't get much better than that!

And the Winner is . . .

Robin of My Melange! Check out her blog for a fabulous spaghetti carbonara recipe and mini-lessons in Italian. I packed Robin's dichroic pendant today and will take it to the post office tomorrow. I hope you all had a wonderful time at the Ultimate Blog Party 2008! I blog-hopped until my eyes went bleary, and I'm looking forward to doing it again next year. I'm already starting to plan what prize to offer!

I'm a Powerseller Now! (But I'm still closing my store)

A few days ago I got a "Congratulations New eBay Powerseller" message from eBay for the store we use to clear out or excess personal belongings. I reached this in just over a month, and I am sooo exhausted! I've been listing and cutting prices and shipping packages like crazy so that we can get this stuff cleared out before we move. I still have a pretty fair amount of stuff to list in the next few days--probably over 100 items but I'm afraid to count them--and anything that hasn't sold by March 28 or so is going to the local thrift store and that eBay store will cease to exist.

I'm not sure whether I'm more excited about moving into our new house and having my own studio space or living without all this clutter. Okay, never mind, my own studio space wins (yippee!).

If you're looking for a bargain, we have hundreds of books, CDs, PC games, war games, baseball cards, and miscellaneous stuff that need new homes. Come visit our giant online yard sale, I'd love for these things to go to people who really want them.

Crafted in Copper

Several times each day I am awed by the tremendous talent and creativity on Etsy. Today's find, Thumbelina Creations, has some truly sweet jewelry. My favorite pieces are those made from copper, but you can find plenty of non-copper beauties there too.
