TWEETING ABOUT TUESDAY

37 degrees at 5: 30 AM this morning is nothing to tweet about. My chenille butterfly embellishments are featured in a treasury on ETSY today. Here is a link to the treasury http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4be89e8cb3dd6d91a5db6c3f/may-is-national?sort=hotness&order=desc my lovely butterflies are covered up with an avatar that will not leave there is a glitch it says Pay It Forward! Hmmmm we will have to speak with ETSY this morning. Speaking of Paying It Forward. I love to offer PIFS in my shop at Glenna's Garden http://www.gnormyle.etsy.com/ From the Garden! Enjoy the treasury now because they disappear after awhile! I have an older version of this book so that I can relearn how to crochet when I find some time.

This Feature Friday I will be writing an article about a successful business woman that I met on ETSY. That would be Kelly Jean of http://www.kjpatino.etsy.com/ I have a few really nice pictures of items she has created to share with you on Feature Friday. Here is a picture of just one the lovely items Kelly Jean has created and it is for sale in her shop at ETSY.

Cool Booties!

Let me know if you want to be interviewed for Feature Friday May 21, 2010 is still open.

SHINY DAYS ARE BACK

We had so much rain up here in Manchester, NH yesterday something like 3". It strips the trees of their beautiful leaves. It poured all day long. Good day for shopping. This morning it is bright and sunny but I am sure it is cold too. My pomegranate plant appears to have two itsy bitsy blooms popping out again where the others have all been. This should be pretty I hope they take so I can get some pics to share. I am looking forward to making different items for Thanksgiving and Christmas in the next couple of weeks. I have picked up some great stuff to work with including watercolors. Currently I am running a free offer for a PIF (pay it forward)surprise. Limit one per household. Check it out at www.gnormyle.etsy.com Glenna's Garden shop.

YART SALE DAY ONE

It started the big worldwide YART SALE at ETSY http://www.gnormyle.etsy.com/ is participating with huge markdowns throughout the shop. The sale is on until midnight June 14, 2009. Keep checking back as things get marked down more things are added. Glenna's Garden has new projects to list every day if we wanted too whew personally I couldn't do that it would be too much to maintain. So if you don't see something ask we just might already have it. We love custom orders! Check out our summer specials summer tag sales at http://www.gnormyle.etsy.com/

I am destashing approximately 2 pounds of paper for $3.85 plus $4.95 shipping in the USA this is the greatest to have now that school is closing for the summer and there are going to be those rainy days indoors with the kids. You can whip out these papers, your own scissors and glue and it will entertain the children and probably adults too as well. Visit Glenna's Garden for unique gifts from original art to vintage pieces we are at http://www.gnormyle.etsy.com/

Wishing for Etsy Shop Sales and Custom Orders

Today I got a surprise gift from a seller I had purchased from a couple of times. Now that is a true PIF. Just like my PIF's which are FREE at my shop http://www.gnormyle.etsy.com/

I joined http://www.vintagepulse.com/ yesterday. Today ironically I was given a vintage meat grinder so now I have two vintage meat grinders. I also was given a creamer today that I want to know more about so I contacted http://www.replacements.com/ they said they needed more info on that item and my Capistrand R8338 Japan soup bowl. I am sure it is vintage as well. It takes about a week to get an answer back from http://www.replacements.com/ so I am waiting. Meanwhile I have been busy at Glenna's Garden I started making ACEO/ATC pressed flower pictures. I made a young lady dressed in pressed flowers. My first one I really hope she goes to a good home. She can be seen at http://www.gnormyle.etsy.com/ . This is the smallest work I have done with my pressed flowers and greenery. I truly enjoyed making her. It took me several hours to do. I now have her protected in a plastic sleeve. My custom projects involve much more detail like this lampshade I did recently. I am learning all about vintage. I have always been drawn to vintage. A lot of my handmade decorated boxes, cards, stationery and bookmarks are adorned with vintage papers. There is much thought and design that goes into using vintage papers so that you can preserve as much of the original vintage paper as possible. I have purchased many high quality vintage cards and papers from seller's on Etsy. So that now I actually have a backlog of designs and projects to do. I have seriously been thinking about opening a second Etsy shop for supplies only. I have collected so many unique and some vintage items over many years. One of the really neat, newest additions to Glenna's Garden is a 2" vintage owl pendant which can be seen in the picture at the top of this blog. Very unique....please let me know if you have seen an owl pendant like this one. Well it is time for me to go back to the garden and plant some more seeds. Blessings~*~Glenna from Glenna's Garden~*~
