I Heart Canada. Among other things.

I've been working steadily on Christmas orders that are already coming in. I swear I need a shirt that says "I'm big in Canada." Canadians love me!...and the feeling is mutual. :)

I'm also getting ready for my first-ever craft show. It's a small one, but I'm really excited about the opportunity to get my feet wet. Not to mention it's at one of my favorite places in the wide world, the Harper Alexander House. I can't wait to sip yummy coffee, look at my friends' handcrafted wares, and stand by my super cute pink, black and white table in eager expectation of new orders.

Anyhow, here are a few photos of things you can expect to find at the craft fair, as well as in my new shop. . .

Mini-tag necklace in fine silver

Little cardinal with flowers and flourishes

A closer view.

Another lovely monogram. I've done several different styles of these, all of which I really like (of course)!

FYI--At this point, I think I'm only going to try to publish weekly. With Christmas coming so soon, I doubt you have time to read much more than that anyway!

Enjoy the day. :)

Vacay & Promo

Hi friends! We're taking a few days off, so no blog entries for the rest of this week (sorry!). In lieu of Etsy Treasury Friday, please take 10% off your purchase from our shop (www.beccawinslow.etsy.com) simply by telling me you visited the blog in the "message to seller" area upon checkout.

Our view for the next few days. :)

Y'all enjoy your weekend!! See you Monday.

Sneak Peak: Allisa Prize Designs

I'm still awaiting the arrival of my new little Brother (IE the Brother label printer I so excitedly shared with you last week). I'll let you know how much I love it once I've actually started using it. For now, it's still the drudge, drudge, drudge of printing my shipping labels on regular computer paper, then cutting them out and taping them to packages. Lame!

In the meantime, try not to worry yourself about me drudging it up and instead feast your eyes on a few newly created pieces:

Fine Silver Pendant: Little Birdie Among Dotted Twigs, with Monogram. I didn't sand it down before firing, so it has a nice vintage--almost dirty--look to it. So fun! This is another one that will go in the new shop, set to launch next week (Yikes! I need to get busy!).

Another view

And another.

These next two pieces are in our current Etsy shop, but I thought I'd share them anyway because...well...I love what I do. :)

Little Birdie Among Twigs: Made of silver-plated pewter and measuring just 1/2" x 1/2", I guess you could say this is the more economical version of the PMC piece above. No room for a monogram though. Sad.

I textured and domed this 5/8" disc just for your BFF, and added a pearl for good measure. It can, of course, be personalized with whatever name or word you would prefer. I'm really digging dots and circles lately. They just seem like the right thing to do. In addition, I only polished this piece to a matte finish--rather than our usual mirror finish.

Well, that does it for today! Remember to tune in again on Wednesday to find out what blog I'm featuring. I'm off to print out some shipping labels (really!)...... Thanks for reading!

Enjoy the day. :)
