Now Here is a Fun Project for the Holidays!

Glitter Letter Tutorial from Miss MustardSeed on Vimeo.

                         Miss Mustard Seed

I have loved the look of glittered letters but never knew how to create them for myself...until I discovered Marian Parson's blog...Miss Mustard Seed (linked above).  WooHoo!  I am thinking of all kinds of projects I can use these on....especially at Christmas time....a banner..or gift tags...or maybe magnets....or cards....or.....the list goes on!

I also suggest you spend some time checking out other projects on her blog (like using painter's drop cloths as fabric!) and perusing the other shops and blogs found there...so many ideas...so little time!

Have fun :)

An Introduction to Some of My Favorite Blogs

I had never paid much attention to blogs until we started The Collective Journal, and since then I've become a real fan.  I've found such interesting blogs and the interesting people that keep them going. So......I've decided to share some of my favorites with you. Not all my favorites will fit here because that list seems to just keep growing, but here are a few.

So What Else Are You Up To????

The previous post showed great selections from the Esty shops of each member of this collective blog....but since we all have other shops, either ecommerce or brick and mortor, I thought this would be a good time for all of us to share our other shops,  where else we are selling, or trying to sell, our personal blogs or whatever :)  A little promotion is always helpful..

So I will go first!

I do have a VintageEmbellishment shop on Etsy but  have just recently opened VintageEmbellishment2 on the Zibbet site...
you can find my new shop here...

VintageEmbellishment2

There are currently about 15 items for sale in VE2, they are basically the same type of vintage merchandise I offer in my Etsy shop . I  found Zibbet to be an easy site to set up a shop on and to navigate around.  It is fairly new, headquartered in Australia and hopefully will provide a new market for me...time will tell!

If you are a poster on this blog, then post your shop and or blog info right in this post...if you are a visitor please feel free to put in the comment section any information you would like to share or promote...lets all take a peek at what others are doing...

Have fun everyone
