Friends, Bloggers, Shopkeepers...
Two of my dearest blogging friends have recently opened Etsy shops, and I am so happy to be among their satisfied customers!
Linda Sue is an artist, an incredibly creative and talented woman with a diverse background and history that fascinates. She's well-traveled and she takes us all along on her trips -- even if it's just a walk along the lake with her four-legged companion, Dexter. Her medium of choice these days is felting. Linda is my favorite kind of blogger: a prolific one. She is SO funny! And a heck of a great photographer, as well.
Linda Sue recently opened an Etsy shop, Gollygollygolly, and her first wares in the store are beautiful button cards she created from a friend's vintage buttons! The proceeds from the sale of her cards go towards funding a friend's trip to a family wedding. See: Linda Sue is a creative genius and a wonderfully generous friend, to boot!
Here is mine! I love the little deer almost as much as I love the buttons! And sweet Linda Sue had already sent another deer card, and extra lovely gifts along with it, to me before I ordered this one (because great minds think alike!)
I can't wait until she begins to list some of her felt creations in her shop!
Another friend, Lydia, is sharing a new Etsy shop with her talented daughter: Lydia Oh Lydia! Art. It was hard to make up my mind as I perused her shop, but I chose a decorated antique tape measure! It arrived like this:
See how she decorated the envelope (top of photo) with fashion photos -- including some really cool shoes!
And this is the back of the tape measure!
My life has been so enriched by all of you: my wonderful, creative, blogging friends!

When I opened that cute box, this was inside...you can see the front of the tape measure through the sheer bag...
And this is the back of the tape measure!
Then she sent along these pre-cut pieces of vintage fabric -- someone's quilt project of long ago! How fun is that? If you love the tape measure -- she has another for sale in her shop! Plus some other lovely items, including jewelry and more art!
Lydia is so on my heart right now, as she's been caring for her husband since he became seriously ill in November. He had already been battling cancer, and is finally home after a very long hospital stay, but still in very poor health. If you are a praying person, please send some up for Lydia and her family -- I know they would be appreciated.
