Meeting of the Creative Minds

Tomorrow I'm headed to Augusta for a meeting with the members of the Etsy Maine Team. We met there in May and I'm anxious to see everyone again! We're meeting at the Great Wall China Buffet, and I am seriously craving their coconut shrimp! :)

I have goodies to bring and I think I'll even bring my camera this time to take photos. There are 150+ members of Etsy Maine Team. Hopefully we'll have at least 30 - 40 of us at the meeting tomorrow.

We're preparing for out first craft show event on September 27th in Biddeford, Me and we'll be doing a lot of the planning at this meeting... so could be interesting!

I learned a great new technique last night, so I'm off to make more tile pendants. I'm packing up several wholesale orders to ship out on Monday... busy, busy beaver...

I'm also in the process of retaking all of my photos- what a lot of work! I want a real consistent look to my shop... so you'll see those soon.

Gotta go... but, here's my latest design. I'm adding bamboo pendants to my line. Wait until you see the mahogany tiles!

Little girls LOVE birthday Parties & CUPCAKES!

What a great combination! I've put together this fabulous little Cupcake Birthday Party Pack:


Receive 6 cupcake scrabble tile pendants & one slice of birthday cake pendant complete with pink ribbon chains in a Cupcake Party tin! You can special order the exact number of cupcake pendants needed. Take a look:

Can you imagine how excited your little girl would be to receive one of these at her next birthday party? The pendant is a great 'take home' gifts for each girl in attendance.

Think scrabble tile pendants for her birthday!! Contact me through my shop for special order quantities. Cupcake pendants are also available individually.

Beautiful Packages from Paper

With each pendant purchased I include a decorative pillow box with bow that can be used to gift wrap the pendant... perfect for Mother's Day or a special birthday, however sometimes we want to go that extra step to make something even more special. That's why I offer special decorative paper boxes and purses as gift packaging for sale as well.

Check these out:
The decorative Flower Tower box on the left, and the Starflower blue purse on the right both make gorgeous gift packages for those special items.

The flower garden purse is spectacular for gifting a beautiful scrabble tile pendant.
