Today’s press day at work. Bah. Stress! When where I really want to be is home, listing new lovelies on Etsy and lurking in the Forums. Sigh.
Oh, and Happy April Fool’s Day! Google has a funny joke on their Gmail login page, and Etsy’s blog, The Storque, pulled one over on me as well. Had a good laugh at both.

In other news, we’re going to see Brian Regan tomorrow! Comped tickets: a perk of working in the news media. W00t.

I’m now offering photo prints in my Etsy shop! I thought I might as well take advantage of the fact that my husband has this fancy professional photo printer and can teach me about digital prints, and add another type of item to my repertoire. I’m certainly no Annie Leibowitz or even half as talented as my husband, but I do enjoy taking photographs, and I think other people would enjoy some of my photos too. Here’s hoping!

A teensy sampling of some of my recent eBay scores…. Check the shop Sunday (2.24) after 1 p.m. EST to see the finished products!!
Happy Friday! Tonight I made granola from scratch, thanks to a recipe posted by Orangette that I found via Simply Photo (via Simply Breakfast). It’s still cooling, but preliminary taste tests indicated it’s going to be superb. And now we have something yummy + healthy to munch on tomorrow during the Best Picture Showcase Marathon!

A few weeks ago my hubby, who ever-so-generously lends me use of his fancy 10D camera for all my jewelry-photographing needs, quite generously loaned said camera to one of his photography school buddies (not sure why his photog friend doesn’t have his own digital camera, but that’s another story). Super, huh. Not so much for me. I’ve got oodles of freshly-crafted goodies languishing on my work table, just waiting to be photographed and offered up on Etsy–to fulfill their purpose, really. *Sigh* So it goes. But I just wanted to let ya’ll know that I have not quit creating, I’ve simply been without a camera.
But I’m getting the camera back this weekend, so mark your calendars! Fabulous new Avenue H jewelry, cards, and perhaps even scarves will be available for your viewing and purchasing pleasure this Sunday, Feb. 24! Yay!! I imagine I’ll have at least a few of the new items listed by, oh, let’s say 1 p.m. EST…so keep an eye on my Etsy shop Sunday afternoon or thereabouts and be one of the first to see my latest creations. Yippee!
Oh, and I’ve been fiendishly eBay-ing it up the past week or so, so in a few more weeks I should have another series of new vintage silverware pieces to show off. I get really excited when I get new materials, so you may even have to endure some gushing about my silverware acquisitions…soon as I get my–ahem, my husband’s–camera back, that is.
