And since I basically ate my way through the weekend, I will make good use of the yoga gift certificate my husband got me! Yay!

I have several yards of Marimekko designer fabric for sale. I snatched them up at a going out of business sale, used what I needed and now have yardage leftover for you! They are all heavy cottons, so can be used for making bags, table covers, home goods, window treatment etc. The prints are limited edition. I am selling it by the yard, $9 a yard, which according to ebay is a steal. The red fabric didn't photograph too well, but it's a print of dark red fir tree branches on a lighter red background. The paisley gold is slightly metallic. Leave a comment if you are interested with your email so I can get in touch.

That handsome and brave guy surrounded by those foxy crafty ladies is Etsy's very own V.P., Matt! He was in Charm City on Friday and met up with us at Rocket to Venus for drinks and some crafty talk. So Whitney guessed right and wins $5 off any item in my shop, good till Jan. 1st 2009. Whitney, email me and I will give you the "code" to use. Thanks!
Any idea who this handsome fella is with me outside of Rocket to Venus in Hampden??? Care to hazard a guess? There might be a little surprise in it for you if you get it right! Here's a hint- no he's not my hubby, although Mr. Dandelion is very handsome himself! And to my team members- sorry you can't guess, you already know who he is!

This is the only item I managed to buy at Sunday's Crafty Bastards Show. And I didn't even leave the booth to get it! My loyally assistant disappeared for a while and came back sporting this political beauty, amoung other crafty purchases. I've been looking for something to wear to show my support, and the average t-shirt wasn't cutting it. So when I saw this necklace by Brookadelphia, I had to have one, and the assistant ran out and snatched the last gold one. Not only is it really cute, the best part is that the designers are giving $10 from ever purchased necklace to the Obama campaign. So wear you political views around your neck, add a little "bama bling" to wardrobe, and support the campaign!
