As luck would have it...
Just when I was in need of a good-luck talisman, I found this beauty over on etsy:
I've been wearing it all week, and things really ARE starting to go my way. I found this (and many other pieces I want!) over at LuLu Sparkles, a fabulous shop on Etsy. Stunning jewelry, affordable prices, blindingly fast shipping, the sweetest packaging.....what else is their to say? Pop over there and have a look for yourself, I'm sure you could find your own good-luck charm too!
I'm sorry for my absence at the blog this week. I'm trying to keep up with Emporium orders as best I can. If any of you readers out there have made an order, thank you!!! I'm shipping them out as fast as me and my little tape gun can go!
I've also been working on some interesting crafty gigs that I'm dying to tell you about, but I'm sorta superstitious and I'm waiting for the right time. I know, I'm being annoyingly-secretive. I hate it when other blogs do that....sorry. I can't help myself.
And, on top of the proverbial pile, is my upcoming show in Baltimore "Pile of Craft." (There is a big flashy link over on the left sidebar.) Me and Amber (and possibly others) have a booth representing the Norfolk Craft Mafia. I've gotta pull most of my stuff together next week, so it's gonna be crunch time here soon! I may just post a few hurdy-gurdy pics of chaos next week, but otherwise I'll probably be a bit absent.
Also, starting next Tuesday, you can begin voting in the Fred Flair contest. Perhaps you noticed the big, flash banner with the cute deer plaque on the left? Well, that's my sweet blog pal Caitlin, and she is a FINALIST in the contest, and I'm terribly excited for her! So, please go check out her entry and vote for her, if you can. (Her item really is the best one, anyway!)
Happy weekend, one and all! I have to go scream at the packaging and shipping department to get back to work. (So, yes...I'll be yelling at myself.)
That necklace is gorgeous!!
I may just have to go up to Baltimore for that show. I'm not too far away and I think it would be fun!

Hey Amanda!
Wish I would have known about the Pile of Craft sooner! I could have joined you! I live about 45 minutes north of B-more. I am going to try and make it to the show on Sat.
See ya there and good luck!

It never ceases to amaze me the amount of talent in Etsy.
