I Saved Mr. Owl

Hi! Everyone! I absolutely love Christmas & I'm sad to see it go, but now..back to business as usual! I got a new digital cam and new computer for Christmas! Woohoo! Soo happy about that! I wanted to share a picture of an vintage owl I found while helping my husband tear down an old house. We tear them down for the heart pine wood to use in our cabinet shop where we live. I saved the little cutie from being crushed or trashed, took him home & tried my hand at antique washing. I think that he is adorable! He has a opening in the back and can hold a standard votive or even a tea light candle. I used grey/blue & antique white paint. What do you think?

I LOVE ETSY!

Literally. Since I found it in September of this year (from a person on the Ebay forums..hehehe) I have found so many wonderful, creative, artistic 5 Star Sellers. I have found new meaning in the word "Handmade". When I thought of handmade in the past I thought of my Mema's quilts & knit hats. Yes, there are a lot of knits and such on etsy, but Oh My! EVERYTHING I have came across is so beautiful & creatively done! I guess I'm writing this to share my love for etsy with anyone I can! KUDOS to you all!!

Hey everyone! After sifting through the forums today on Etsy, when I should have been cleaning..hehe, I came across a thread about Etsy Hacks! You have to check it out!

After installing you will have the option under everyone's post to be able to add the to fav's, view their profile etc..This list is from GreaseMonkey. It's easy & quick to download. Check it out!
