Last summer I fell in LOVE with Wendy's Eco ~ Hand Dyed ~ Southern Girl Etsy Shop, Creole Collection, and have been addicted ever since. Check out my interview with Wendy from last summer - creative inspiration indeed! Yesterday my latest purchases arrived and I had to share...
Lucky for me, Wendy has become one of my special Etsy friends - what a wonderful world of creative people out there! Check out the sweet eco hats she made for my girlies...
And the necklace for me... all from recycled clothes and trims! Amazing!
I have many more goodies from Wendy that I will share in with you in the future - betcha can't wait! Wendy has opened yet another Etsy shop for our collective enjoyment (yes, I'll share!) Creole Sha - be sure and check it out. And I hear she's doing her first show in a few weeks so I will post the details as soon as I know more.
Of course the minute I found out that I will be at The Creative Connection Event's Handmade Market my mind started racing with display ideas. By trade I'm an interior designer so displaying small items like earrings and necklaces is challenging ~ entire room scapes come together more naturally. I knew I needed a statement display piece and Lucy will do the trick.
I found her via CraigsList, a resource I should use more often. She came from Haag's Antiques
in Columbus, Wisconsin. They are closing their shop so everything (yes, I said EVERYTHING!!) is 50% OFF through April 18. I also snatched up this group of goodness along with a gorgeous screen and old store rack for display.
I know I would have hauled home many more treasures had my littlest Love, Sophie, not been along to help. We stopped at McDonald's on the way home as a reward for her (relatively) good behavior. Phew - after all that excitement, I need a nap!
If you have some free time over the weekend I would suggest a trip to Columbus to find your treasure... enjoy the hunt!

I want to share this fabulous pottery my kindergartner, Elle, brought home from school this week. The arts are strong at her school which is fortunate as Elle is quite the artist ~ coloring before and after school, cutting, gluing and taping anything she can get her hands on. We have many the over flowing Rubbermaid containers guarding her precious work as she simply cannot part with anything (shhh - don't tell her mommy does some weeding from time to time!) 
This special project was created with the help of a local pottery store owner who became the Artist in Residence for a month. Each and every child made a "Bee Bowl" with the extra special touch of melted glass at the center. She really outdid the unrecognizable bowl I made as a kindergartner many eons ago... Way to go, Elle!
