...because Erin made me do it!!!!

Okay, so I just finished checking out Design For Mankind and there's a post on "blogger cribs" - bloggers and their refridgerators. As I read the blog I notice that Erin and I have something in common...our refridgerators!!! Ouch!!! Okay maybe not ouch, but how cool! Now I honestly don't feel bad about my fridge and how it's packaged, moreso my strange ways. I believe the Design For Mankind post originally came from Rachael over at Black Eiffel - Cribs, Blogger Style. Shout out to Rachael for pulling my card and making me acknowledge my fridge...Great post!!!

and Erin - here's my fridge:

A great way to end a crazy week...ok so it's Thursday!

Anyway...today I received my Monster Print by Constant Dreamer an Etsy Seller. I've been drooling over this print ever since I first saw it. I'm not sure what it is about the print - the colors, the simpleness of the print or just that the print is a bit funny and makes me smile. Maybe it's all of the above!

So here it is - ta daaaaaaaaaaaaaaa: Monster Print by Constant Dreamer. Enjoy - I am!!!

P.S. Constant Dreamer has a ton of other cool prints to offer. The Tree and Underwear Print is another one of my favorites (tickles my soul).

Another great artist on Etsy....

Saturday street festival digs...

Here's a picture of my one super fab digs I picked up this weekend at May Festival. There were a lot of really nice vendors on site however, the weather was just plain stank (hot, without a breeze). I'd say tons of folk, animals, creatures and heat just do not mix.

I was very thankful for the fresh squeezed lemonade stand!

Blue Palmetto Tree

Most of you that know about a-ieK paper goods & designs know that I sell online through Etsy. Being apart of Etsy you meet a wonderful group of artists, crafters and designers - which can be pleasant (for the most part).

Today, I wanted to take the time to introduce you all to Blue Palmetto Tree, my fellow neighbor (by state) and a member of Etsy. Ever since meeting Stacey of Blue Palmetto Tree she's been a joy to know...and through knowing her we found out we have a lot in common besides just enjoying each others products!

So what does Blue Palmetto Tree have to offer?

Well...Blue Palmetto Tree Shop offers quality handmade crochet items for you and your home. Blue Palmetto Tree has large selection crochet dishcloths, crochet exfoliating scrubbies, crochet baby afghans, crochet coasters, and more!!! Stacey has been crocheting for 32 years! Wow! Take some time to visit Blue Palmetto Tree on Etsy...you'll love the shop and the owner. Blue Palmetto Tree's products are great gift ideas!

Below are some of my favorites from Blue Palmetto Press:
