Good Monday Morning! I hope your weekend was fun and fulfilling. We have 2 sick little boys in the house, so I spent lots of time wiping noses. And holding babies. And also packing orders. And painting things. And checking in cases of shipments for my shop. The house is officially a mess, littered with cardboard and packing peanuts and boxes, boxes, boxes. So, today I shall clean.
I just wanted to stop in a say a quick hello and give you a run-down of things to come. I'll try and get all of the new shop items unpacked, photographed and listed in the shop in the next 2-3 weeks. It will be a slow process, one thing at a time. My head is spinning at the moment when I think about my "to do" list for the holiday season and Silver Bella preparations. Not to mention October is crazy for me anyway since my husband and both of my children have October birthdays. But, luckily I've already got all the party details planned and purchased. Thank goodness. Halloween costumes are all ready to go. Christmas shopping has even begun. Did I mention my head is spinning?
Anyhoo....some of the new shop goodies have already been listed. These whimsical Boheme greeting cards are here. Loving them to pieces.
These new Soft Italian Fruit Cube candies can be found here. And the beautiful Soft Leaf Trim {at the top of the page} is right here. It also comes in ivory {in stock} and a pale green color, which just arrived and still needs to be photographed.
Let's see....Oh! Click here for new Buttery Mint Pillows. If you're a butter mint lover, you will love these pastel wrapped treats. They come nestled in a pink box with a pretty mint green bow.
More Splendid Sweets are coming soon. So many flavors of unique new taffies that I seriously need to stop eating. {I have to test the merchandise, right?} And more ribbons than you can shake a stick at. And custom prize ribbons that I love, love, love. I'm so excited about these and cannot wait to show you all! I've also got tins of new notecard sets, 3 new glitter colors, fancy buckles, velvet embellishments, tons of Christmas decorations and even some "everyday" decorations. There's more, I just know it. I'm drawing a blank here........ but as I list these new things, you'll be the first to know!
See you tomorrow with a easy-as-pie Autumn glitter project.
Everything just looks so delicious! I have the same deal in May. My babies have birthdays along with Mother's Day, Graduations, school ending stuff...My head spins and I drop the ball too many times. I wish you balance in October. Kara

Hi Andrea,
They say if you want something done, ask a busy person. Even with packing materials all over and sick children, you still sound very together! You must be an organized thinker to already be shopping for Christmas. I never cease to be amazed at your accomplishments having such young boys!
Love the pretty leaf trim!

Hello Andrea!
You inspire me-it is a challenge to pull it all of though. I too have Halloween costumes just about finished, and Christmas gift making is underway-and booking weddings for 2009 for my own business-a busy season but one of the best, huh?!? You can do it! I am dying to see your new goodies!

Hi Andrea,
As I was reading about and admiring your ribbons my name popped off the page. My name is Stella Pearl. I was named after my two grandmothers Stella Odessa and Charlotte Pearl. To top it off I was born Dec. 7, 1941 Pearl Harbor Day. What fun to see my name.
