Who doesn't love a Sock Monkey?

I love vintage looking toys, and Sock Monkeys are some of my faves. I have been selling LOTS of my Sock Monkey Scrabble pendants in a variety of colors.

The new Moo cards are here! The new Moo cards are here!!!!

Don't you just love opening the mailbox and seeing that you've received a package? It's such a welcome change from all of the bills, bills, bills.


I received my Moo cards today! Some of you are probably thinking, "Uhmm is that some kind of coupon for free milk?" Nope! Although that would be pretty cool, this is even better.


Moo cards are mini business cards with a graphic image on one side, and your information on the other side. The cool thing is that you can have a different image on EVERY card if you want.


Here's a picture of the front and back of one of my cards. Aren't they just the cutest things ever?! haha

The Twilight Obsession

I'm an avid reader, and I was a Harry Potter fanatic. I've always loved supernatural type books and read ALL of the Anne Rice Vampire Chronicles (even the horrible one where Lestat became a rockstar), but somehow I didn't hear about the Twilight saga until about a month ago. It was even on the cover of Entertainment Weekly last month. Here's the link to the article.

Of course, I'm not a teenage girl, but from what I've seen, that isn't a requirement. There is even a site out there for Twilight Moms. What is it about forbidden love that just drives us all crazy?

I was very captivated by the romance of the story, and decided to create a Twilight collection of Scrabble pendants for my Etsy shop. I was pleasantly surprised when I ended up with more than 20 different designs. Here are pictures of a few of them.

Triple word score

I've been planning to start a blog about my journey to becoming a Scrabble Tile guru, but just kept putting it off. So, instead of posting a big introductory post, I'm just going to jump right in and figure out what I want to say as I go along.

I've recently started making some really colorful and "retro" pendants. Here are a few of them, just to get my blog hopping.


I am in LOVE with these little Barrel of Monkey pendants. I have them in pretty much EVERY color. They remind me of my youth. Wow, does that make me sound old, or what?!!!






Bird silhouette jewelry is REALLY "in" these days, so I started a line of "Bird on a Branch" pendants in a variety of colors.






Just for fun, here's a picture I took of a pile of pendants. I have over 150 designs available now.
