"Etsy Spotlights!!!" A new Monthly Post

I've decided to add a special monthly post called "Etsy Spotlights"

                                  What is it you ask?

      Well it is a "spotlight" of one Esty shop a month that is creative, immaginative, and has some interesting and unique "eye candy" for you to browse around and buy. Some people that do not have an Etsy shop but have a crafting URL where you sell your "handicrafts" are welcome too!!

So in order for me to get to know you and "spotlight" you, be sure to comment here and send me an email telling me a little about your shop, what's unique about your crafts, how you got started, what inspires you, and anything else you feel will attract buyers to your store.

Each month I will post about 1 store and keep a link to you on my sidebar for my visitors to hop over to your place. And be sure to let me know if you will be offering any "specials" if they mention they found you at "Etsy Spotlights".

I also want to hear back from you if you received any more traffic because of your "spotlight" appearence on PBDesigns. :)

Looking forward to meeting all you Etsy sellers!!! July 1st will be my first post so leave your comments today and be sure to "follow" PBDesigns.

My "B" Day, Field Trip to the Yarn Shops, and Flowers Blooming

This little guy I got at a boutique in Seal Beach and he was too cute. His hair is that stretchy rubber stuff...and to the right is my metal fisherman at my pond.
The flower I am holding is a purple morning glory

these are just starting they are my Moon flowers

here is a pink rose from my flowerbeds and asnail my daughter got me

These are varigated geraniums that my son picked for me 3 Mom's days ago down by the Queen Mary. It was just one branch and now I have them everywhere. I always get so many complitments about how beautiful they bloom.

the ones also the front edge are also varigated pink geraniums and they have really bloomed this year

My horse is getting covered with greenery, and I couldn't resist this pen with the chick on the top, sepecially since my groups name is Stitch n' Chicks...hey I think I will get a few for the group... :)

Another snail in my garden and the lettuce plant is sprouting babies this year

Gerber Daisys and purple and white daisys are really blooming

Orange succulents and my Tiki with the parrots beak plant surrounding its bottom

Friday was my "B day and I tried to blow out these candles but my DH bought ones that kept lighting up....so.....I kept trying... :) now to show off some of my "B" day pressies...My DH got me a Swift....yippy!!!! And beautiful peach roses, a new spade and cutters with rubber handles to help with the aches of cutting and digging. I am always playing around around the pond and in the flowerbeds, as you can see my flowers are blooming everywhree. I just love love the color, then I got a wire Tea pot basket to hold me tea bags. I love this little tea pot. I saw at Polly's Pies and fell in love with it and he remembered and got me one... :) Then my DS got me a digital key chain and it holds 60 photos...I cannot wait to put my pis on it, and a cordless mouse for my laptop and my desk puter....I hate the cord one I have now... :) my best buddy came out Sat night and spent the night with me and she brought me the cutest frog and turtle for my pond, and took me to dinner. DH went fishing for the weekend so we had a girls weekend. We went shopping in Seal Beach Sunday and bought flags and other goodies and then went and ate out on the pier. Then we went over to the Japanese Gardens and walked around. They were having an Orchid display, wow!!!! Sat daytime my local knit group and I went on a field trip to 3 shops and had lunch down in Hermosa Beach at Henessey's by their pier. The shops we went to were Beach knit Shop, L'atiere, and Concepts in Yarn....they were all different and had some great yarns and patterns that I absolutly had to get... :) I also had to get a few new projects of course. And if you look at the one shot Donna is holding a skein of yarn that costs $285 .....unbelievable...What fun....
