Wallpaper

We had to decide fairly quickly about the wallpaper for the new SixOneSix shop (which is nextdoor to ourselves!) but this is what is going in. Harlequin Decadence in Passion.

We were going to purchase it in a store locally but found that we more than halved the price by purchasing from the UK (Saved $600). So thats what we did, and it arrived within four days.

The wall preparation is no fun at all, lining paper is slippery and slimy and just downright bad to work with, but we wrangled it into place for one of the walls, one to go. Then the wallpaper goes on.

Anyway, I like to look at this picture to give myself hope that it will turn out to be beautiful after all the pain of putting it up! I wish I didn't love wallpaper so much!

Chip Chop is having a sale!

Ooh! Chip Chop has a sale on selected stock! Get in fast and get your Chip Chop cheap or it might all get snapped up.

I like the "And It Was So" tote ($79) from the Psalms of Summer collection. It's just a lot of fun!

Check out the "surprise" section of the Chip Chop website for a bit of a chuckle with the random happenings in Chip Chop land.

My Folk Lover

While looking at some of the new items on Etsy, I came across the wistful, whimsical and beautiful works of art by My Folk Lover.

Everything seems to be magical, as though the girl in the images she creates are living in a fantasy world of make-believe while seeing strange and wonderful sights that are fun and playful.

Pictured is the "Dig Deeper" print which is an original ink, watercolor and collage drawing. Available for $15.00 in the My Folk lover Etsy shop!

Hoot hoot!

I absolutely ADORE owls and anything that has an owl on it or in it. So when I checked out the Etsy featured items and saw this gorgeous hand cast owl ring I had to mention it!

Completely hand finished, this heavy sterling ring is made from a mold of a vintage button. (There is a necklace featuring this owl too if necklaces tickle your fancy!)

You can purchase this lovely owl ring for $90.00 from bronzegirl1's Etsy shop!
