One of the new stockings made the front page on Thanksgiving!  Check out this great list:

New Stocking Ornaments on Sale!

I just listed some new stockings, please take a look!  More to follow, in the meantime we're off to the Pacific Northwest for Thanksgiving.

Also, new dolls in the works.  Here's my latest inspiration ....(sorry, can't remember where I found this)

Happy Turkey Day!

There's been a serious lack of posting the past couple weeks.  I was considerably lucky the week before I left for the honeymoon in that the Craft Fair was a "great success" in Borat terms, and the nice people at Etsy put me on 2 gift guides which is so awesome and finally got my sales into the double digits.  I think I slept about 10 hours all week.  Then we left for the Honeymoon on Thursday night.  

Since last year they've added free WiFi, so I've been able to check on things which is totally fine since the husband is surfing all morning anyway.  We've made a couple of trips to Barnes & Noble, had a really nice day laying out an reading, and yesterday hiked a  new trail they built along the coast.  It happened to be a little longer of a trail than we thought, and it also happens to be pretty windy and rainy up north, and we got caught in an almost torrential downpour. No problem, we warmed up by getting in the water at the beach at the end of the trail.  Seriously, the water is that warm this year.  I was in serious need of a burger (I only eat burgers about once every year or two.  The last time was when we ran the Rock & Roll marathon.  When I need one,  I need one.)  We found the only place around that was open, and got some apps and aforementioned burger, then decided to run all the way back.  A serious adventure, but that has been an integral part of our relationship from the beginning.  We really should try out for the Amazing Race.

So things are great here.  It's already halfway over, I can't believe it.  Then we go home for 4 days, and off to the Pacific Northwest for Thanksgiving, always a fun trip.  Then it's back to serious work.  I'm going to try to get as much done as possible the first week of December seeing as USPS first class Christmas deadline is Dec. 11.  I'm hoping to have a few more designs/products up by Dec. 6.  Aloha!

Front Page!

Such good luck!  The red rose wine bag was featured on the front page last night! I'm so excited, I sold 2 afterwards! Yay!

Peddler's Fair This Weekend!

I'm super excited, this weekend will be my first true craft fair as B& B.  I'll be attending with my Mom, who has a booth next to mine and makes some really rad retro aprons.  I'm trying hard to convince her to open an etsy shop, maybe after this weekend she'll be a little more into it?

Anyway, I've been crazy busy working on some new ornaments and haven't taken pics yet (the time change really sucks, stupid  DST, screwing up my whole schedule.)  But I'm really having a good time with them, I will definitely try to post some pics by tomorrow.

Barney is feeling much better, he's been getting walks early in the morning with Dad which he's super stoked about.

B&B Featured in Etsy Gift Guides!

One of my wine bags was just featured in Etsy's Hostess Gifts gift guide, along with some other really cool gifts, check it out here:
