Caught With Handmade Goodness Part 1

I buy a lot of handmade goodies. I give some as gifts and I keep some all to myself. I thought it would be fun to show those goodies in action (except the soap....unless there is great demand then you can pay $1.99 per viewing after just $19.95 sign-up fee lol).

I buy my girls all kinds of handmade stuff- clothes, hair accessories and most recently these adorable friends from buttercupbloom.etsy.com. She worked with me to come up with just the perfect owl and kitty for my girls (who happen to super adore owls and kitties!). So here they are in action....




....can you tell they love them?! I sure do :)

Autumn is coming, right???!

Feels like autumn will never come to Southern California. It's hot and dry and brown. I am pining a bit for the East Coast fall I left behind. We only had them for a few years but there really is nothing like autumn in a place where the air cools and the leaves change and you can leave your pumpkins out on the porch without fear of mold and collapse. Here are some autumnal etsy items that make me nostalgic for the fall....just click the image to get whisked to the listing!
