I'm in a store!!!!!

WOOO HOOO!!!! My items are now in a local store. Check them out in Yellow Springs at http://livinggreenstore.net/ . The owner is super cool. Even if you aren't interested in my stuff But you should be) the store is great. Andything eco-friendly you can imagine & she loves to support locals. The items I'm selling there are a little different from the ones in my etsy shop because Ohio is a completely different demographic. You can check out my flick accout to see more.

Wristlets and card pouches

I have been trying to build stock for some upcoming craft fairs. I think I have perfected a cute wristlet pattern. Very simple and I can use my large stash of funky vintage linen napkins. I haven't decided yet if I will list any on etsy since the market seems to be pretty saturated already.














I also made some card pouches with a similar pattern. Instead of straps they have a small ribbon loop so they can be attached to a keychain. I love how fast & easy these are. Ignore the dent in a brown flower one, the napkin had a serged edge and I didn't cut it off. I probably won't sell that one.

Eco-friendly mailing emvelopes




I found this great tutorial on how to make mailing envelopes out of cereal boxes.




So I had to try it. I've been saving all of our boxes to punch out gift tags. Now I'm going to use the cereal ones for this and the pop can boxes for tags.
