black friday...

i'm so excited

about my

shopping...

.

...experience

never will you find me

 standing in long lines

winding around a big box store

i let my fingers

do the shopping

on my favorite creative site

etsy

this little quilted beauty is by

tresa in molalla oregon

it will soon be hanging in

sarah's sewcial lounge

won't you consider

supporting artists

throughout the land

this holiday season

flip fone friendly...

i've gone

 backwards

 some would say...

.

...i traded in my smart phone

for a not so smart phone

i guess you could say

i went back to

a basic flip phone

it just works better for me

except i can never find it

in the bottom of my bag

lookie what arrived today

a phone pouch

made by the talented hands

of sandradembroidery

an etsy friend

it's just the perfect size

and colors

thanks sandy

i love it

purpley goodness...

first comes

 cabbage

 then comes...

.

cupcakes...

seriously

how stickin' cute are these

little purple cupcakes

i am so curious

how does she do this?

wearing cabbage...

there are findings

that i believe

  one must share...

.

...such as this cabbage

i've never understood

why it is referred to as red cabbage

when it is actually purple

yet that is not why

 i bring this to you

no not a color debate

rather

a fashion discussion

would you prefer

cabbage

around your neck

or pizza

 an ice cream sandwich perhaps

maybe an avocado

a sushi ring

might be the thing

i kid you not

i just discovered some amazingly clever

food

to wear

check this out

but not if you're hungry

ribbon hair falls...

sometimes

i accidentally

stumble...

.

upon amazing creations

in my quest

for all things purple

like tonight

gothic lolita

ribbon hair falls
the etsy description says

they are seen

everywhere

from weddings

to roller derbys

which reminds me

that my friend marcia

and i

were going to go see the

burning river roller girls

now we must

bar harbor stars for america...

today as we celebrate the

dedication and sacrifices of

those who so proudly...

.

protect our freedom

i'd like to share

this awesome discovery i

found one evening while blogging

it was creatively stitched by

crystal of

frivolous necessity

which she puts as the return address

on the envelope

which i had delivered to my

husband's office

imagine his disappointment

smile honey

when i unfolded this

red, white and blue quilt beauty

featuring bar harbor by minick and simpson

the minute i saw it

i knew it would be a great display for our annual

stampin' for america

event which will likely move to the store

next year

love this etsy concept

i also appreciate

that crystal is a pet free, smoke free artist

it's the only reason

i purchased from her truthfully

now that i've seen her work

it's an even better incentive to keep

watching her blog

gotta be quick though

her last feature was gone before

i could click on over to her store

happy memorial day everyone
