Etsy Front Page - CSSTeam

This morning I woke up way too early and put the "bold" coffee in the filter and pressed "bold" on the pot display and opened up etsy. To my surprise, I recognized an item on the front page, and then another. I rubbed my eyes and tried to focus on the shop names and then said....OMG it is the CSSTeam on the front page. I was so excited, I did not even notice my vintage barkcloth pincushion on the bottom row until I got my first cup. Thanks to Bramble and Vine for creating this wonderful treasury and all the commenters and clickers out there in etsy land!!! Craft Cult has this neat way to get the screenshot of etsy front page treasuries. And, last but not least, thanks to The Seasonal Cottage for helping me to get it published!

Kiss Me I'm Irish...

from Sugar and Spice

well... mostly Irish, with a little German, English and some Cherokee Indian thrown in. I definitely have the Irish skin and I hated that when I was a teen. No tanning for me, just sunburns and freckles. But I don't know another people that are more hardworking, loyal and patriotic than Irish folks. And they know how to throw a party!

I had the opportunity to be in Boston, Mass. on March 17th about 20 years ago and had the traditional Irish meal of Corned Beef, Cabbage, Potatoes and Coffee Pudding at a famous restaurant there. It was good but being a southern girl, I couldn't understand why they boiled everything. See, down south, we fry everything, or used to anyway! Even got to see a parade with more red headed people than I had ever seen in one place!

I perused etsy this morning for some handcrafted goods worthy of parading - here are a few of my favorites.....
