hello there!!

  Well, I have been so neglectful of this space... I still post on a (mostly) regular basis over at honeyed heaven.  It just seems that with work (I work A LOT!) and heat and trips to eat froyo and berry picking, this blog seems to always get lost by the wayside. I promise to make an effort to check in more. And the seasons are starting to shift. I feels like fall, then it turns hot again... Still, I'm getting warm and cozy things into the shop every day. And I'm saving for a big birthday/brothers wedding trip in oct (and a fall journey with my littles to orcas island) so I've tripled the amount of items I'm posting daily.

    So much goodness happening in my little shop! Hope you're enjoying the last bits of summer!! I am! xo m

oh, astral boutique (and new stuff!)

  My lovely pal Sasha (mistress of this domain!) seemed a little blue so I sent here a package. She even blogged about it at her wonderful blog, Astral Boutique, it totally made my day!!I got into blogging when my little one was a tiny baby and I was at home and lonesome and wanted like minded ladies to connect with... I'm afraid my blog dreams of a realm of many new friends weren't really realized in those early days but I did eventually meet the gem of a lady that is Sasha and I'm ever so happy to call her a friend. The kind of friend that I've never "seen" in real life (yet!!) but a true inspiration and a dear, always ready to answer questions or lend a little support over the occasional woes of our etsy lives...
  and speaking of etsy... well, I've been quite neglectful this work blog. I have been listing plenty of things in my shop, although June was slooow, July is picking up though! Stop by and check it out! see?

Summer is here, and I'm sooo glad! xo m

Hmmm.... yeah, so May. you have been a little slow in the work dept... I wonder why (I'm blaming Venus being in retrograde in GEMINI! NO!)? At any rate things are piling up and I need to have a really stunning sale to clear out a bit of space! buy yourself somethin pretty cuz you deserve it!

purple moon ahead...

  I slipped this silk + dye fantasy wrap into the shop the other day. So dreamy and soft and free... Perfect for reciting love poetry under a full moon...

  Spring is here and with it... Romance... I've been bitten by the blossoming spring crush bug. Just a little. xo m

spring sweaters...

   A whole gang of new sweaters made it into the sweater section of my shop this week. Here in the Pacific Northwest, it's so drizzly and windy year round that I always have at least a sweater...  Just the thing to keep away Springtime chills...

  Today it's more like umbrella weather round here. Gonna stay inside making these gems and hoping it will dry up a bit. xo m

summer lover...

Well, it is newly spring but... You know you want to shop for your dream beach bag already!! I mean, not just good for the beach but soooo many other outings, library, market, errands, picnics. you know.

  These are the gems (the blue one!!) that made it into the shop this week.  Get over there and check it out! And just because I love you so, use the coupon code "springfever" for 20% off (for the next 48 hours) to make it that much easier. Now go look! xo m

a delicate darkness is coming...

I was feeling more than a little melancholy when I dreamt up this little tea...

Reading Sylvia Plath poetry by candlelight and such... Roses, cocoa nibs!! it's really delightful! xo m
