If you need help with a design we'll gladly lend a hand. We're happy to offer 30 minutes of design time free with your tag purchase. To make things go quicker here's what we need to know to get started:
1. Colors for text and background
2. What you'd like your tag to say
3. Font style or font name (check out http://urbanfonts.com to find some cool ones)

• Cleaning •
We recommend spot cleaning for the longest durability. However, we're currently in the middle of a washing experiment to see how well these tags do after repeated cleaning in a regular load of laundry. So far white tags with black text have shown no wear with repeated washing but the colored tags have faded. Good news is the majority have had no problems with fraying. So, while nothing is guaranteed, if your item might get washed once in a blue moon (say a quilt or a hat for example) you should be fine if you stick with a white tag with black text.

Custom Ring Keeper - You pick the color

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 11:34:16 -0500

$15.00
A designated spot to unload your jewels when you're about to get dirty or cleaned up.

It never fails. Whenever I go to dig into my garden, or get my hands goopy with bread dough, I hear my mom's voice in my head, "Honey, take your rings off before they get dirty and put them in a safe place so you don't lose them". Tucking them in my pocket was never sufficient enough and God forbid you just lay them down on the counter! My grunt was I never wanted to run all the way upstairs to put them in my jewelry box. Now, thanks to my pretty little ring keepers, I don't have to.

These little lid-less boxes, or trays, are fancy enough to sit in any convenient location. On a shelf, bookcase, or counter, in the bathroom, kitchen or living room. They're a beautiful display of glass art and a safe spot for your jewelry when you need to take them off so they don't get lost or dirty.

The ring keeper measures approximately 2 1/4" square and 1 5/16" high. Each piece of glass is handcut and carefully soldered using lead free solder then polished to a high shine. In the bottom you'll find a shiny mirror to reflect the color of the stained glass.

***Be sure to pick your color or colors and list them in the "Message to Seller" area during checkout (you can also convo us with your info). Also, if you would like the top edges of the ring keeper rounded over, just mention it along with your color picks.

Note: the first image of glass samples is Opaque glass (solid) and the second image of glass samples is Transparent glass (see through).****

Please allow 5 days for creation.

Web Address Book w/ Alphabetized Tabs - Daisy

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 22:07:42 -0500

$10.00
If you use the internet, you have the problem. The unknown username or password. Almost every site wants their own login and let's face it... there's only so many you can remember, and only so many versions of your cat's name and your lucky numbers that can be used before they're all the same! Thus I've created the Little Web Address Book to keep track for you.

We've improved our original design by adding alphabetical divider tabs (yes it's even more handy!). There are 6 sections: A-E, F-J, K-O, P-S, T-W and X-Z. Each section has five, 2-sided, pages with areas on each page for 2 different sites. That's 30 pages, which equals 120 spots for web info!

Book itself measures about 4" wide by 3" tall. Made by hand.

Note: Treat this little book like you would a credit card or cash. Don't lose it or leave it out in the open. Remember, your login information can be the key to your spending accounts online. Heaven forbid your evil step-sister lay her hands on it, she might use it to go on a internet shopping spree! So keep it safe!

3 Large and 3 Small Christmas Light Urchins - Reserved fpr Scootiepatootie

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 10:09:17 -0500

$45.00
This listing is reserved for Scootiepatootie.

3 - large urchins
3 - small urchins

---------------------------------

Let these beautiful burnouts bring holiday cheer and style into your home.

I love Christmas lights for two reasons, 1.) they're colorful and 2.) they light up. But what happens when they stop lighting up? They're certainly still colorful, right? Unfortunately they're often cast off into the garbage for failing to perform the task they were created for. I, however, am still hung up on the fact that they're so colorful. To me they still work, they're still festive. And so, I've come up with a little way to reincarnate these burnout lights into something that will carry on the holiday spirit, Christmas Light Urchins.

Each Urchin is made with a variety of large, vintage, colored Christmas lights, long since burnt out. A few of the bulbs may have a little color rubbing off from years of use, but that seems to make them more authentic. All are secured together with glue. Each Urchin measures approximately 7" across. Sold individually.

Use one in a candlescape, as a fun centerpiece for your holiday gatherings or tuck a few here and there in your Christmas tree as ornaments.

Note: Don't be deceived, these really are burned out bulbs, they won't light up.

Created in a smoke-free environment.

Sometimes you need more than just your sleeve.

This past winter I came down with a nasty cold that required a little more than a pass of the sweater sleeve across the nose. I felt cruddy and pulling a tissue out of a plastic package made me even sadder. Soooo I sewed up a fun little tissue holder to help cheer me up while I was grabbing for a hankie. I enjoyed my new accessory so much I whipped up a few more for my other runny nosed companions. Here's one for you!

Holds 1 pack of standard mini tissues.

A great 'Get Well' gift for a friend with a bad cold or a Grandma that likes to stash her hankies up her sleeve.

$9.00
SALE!!!!
Was $12.... now only $9!!

Push aside that boring tomato-shaped pincushion that always rolls off the table when you need it and get something that matches your style!

I picked this little desert dish up at a thrift shop with the thoughts of upcycling it into something better. It was the odd one out of a set of 7 so I rounded out the set for the next passerby and took just one.

The base of this gorgeous cushion is a cream colored custard dish accented with a band of olive green and gilded gold brushstrokes. Inside, a tightly packed pin-pillow is covered in a mouth watering floral fabric of vibrant blues, reds and chocolate brown. The cushion itself is permanently anchored into the bowl making for a sturdy and safe place to store your straight pins.

Measures approximately 3 1/2" wide by 2 3/4" tall. Cushion measures 3" across.

A very unique gift for those who sew.
