Tin dollhouse found on side of state road 419.
Oh, Saturday, I love you. Hubby and I just got home from a sweaty but fruitful jaunt at our favorite flea market: Renninger’s in Mount Dora. Scored a sweet rack that I can use for my earrings at craft fairs, and a couple of rare silver spoons. And now we’re readying the grill to cook up some chicken and veggies. Think I’ll make some couscous too.
Anyhoo, I just found out that one of my cards was featured on a blog called I Like It Don’t You earlier this week. Sweet! Also, I’ve been meaning to mention this but keep forgetting: one of my local buds, Jenipher of Cherry RunWay Jewelry, interviewed me for her blog fairly recently. You can read her article here. And you can buy her lovely jewelry here (food miniatures–what’s not to love?). Thanks, Jen!
Did you notice I have blogged daily this week?! Wow. I hope the posts leaned toward quality over quantity, but at least I’m getting more consistent here. One more notable thing about this week: not one, but two treasuries I curated made it to the front page of Etsy this week! [EDIT: Margins has a screen shot of one of them.] I know that may seem like a small thing, and I promise not to post every time it happens (although I hope it does become a more regular occurrence), but I put a lot of thought into creating treasuries and I love that by doing so I am promoting the featured artists, and it’s quite rewarding to have that effort recognized. Plus the fact that it gives those artists soooo much extra exposure. Almost all of the items in one of the treasuries sold during its front-page stint. Yay!
OK, I’m off to chop up veggies and get ready for the Sanford Art Market tomorrow. Happy weekend!

Look at you…scoring some great items, getting featured in a blog, AND 2 of your treasuries made the front page (thanks by the way!). Things are looking up.
You should be a lottery ticket! That’s what my mother always told me to do. Apparently, such positive situations gives you an excuse to gamble. Woohoo!

Did you pick up the doll house? I bet you wanted to! Atmospheric picture. Congrats on all your featured items and I will happily read more from you in the future. I would be honoured to have you visit my site where I talk vintage and yesteryear and write fiction about vintage pictures and items.

Haha, yes I DID pick up the dollhouse! It’s sitting in my car port right now. =)
