Shop Clearance Sale

Yes, I am doing it. This is my first "real" sale in my shop. I just have WAY too much stuff. The cottage is stuffed full and my closets runneth over. So, I have listed 1/3 of the items in my shop, about 100, as a Buy 2 Get 1 Free Sale. Some of the items have reduced prices already and, of course, I will reimburse shipping overages. Click on any of the pics to go to the sale section. There are bedspreads, linens, housewares, lavender sachets and pillows, of course. These pics are a sampling of the items on clearance...

It's a Good Time to Get Some Great Deals on Gifts for the upcoming Holiday Season!

Brooches

Little Snow Bird in Crocheted Nest

I have been exploring all the things I can make with a crochet hook and a bit of yarn and have had the most fun making dishcloths, scarves, and mug mats. But my new favorite thing is making brooches. I scored a lot of brightly colored virgin wool yarns (vintage, or course), lots of skeins and have been feverishly crocheting flowers ever since. I am awaiting some lovely vintage pearl half-round buttons that I found on etsy to put some more of these little pretties together. I just love the punch of color and uniqueness they add to a coat lapel, hat, scarf, etc. Here are a few of my creations so far...
