Shawnee Owl...

My new "Shawnee" type owl cookie jar...what I paid for this on Etsy sure beats paying $98 for the repros at Anthro! Although there are a few authentic Shawnee jars (see below) for sale on Etsy, I'm a cheapskate so I'll take the knock-off!

You can buy this one here

and this one here.

DIY Friday

If you're looking for a little crafty project to keep you busy this weekend, check out these fun treasures I found on Etsy:

This is from LYPatterns. The shop also has a variety of tutorials for wallets, card holders and other clutches and coin purses.

My kids are all too old to enjoy Sesame Street but I'm sure they'd enjoy these cupcakes! Typewink offers a package with everything you need to make your own wrappers and cupcakes...yummy!

Oh, this is so cute...pattern found at Meilingerzita (along with other cute plushies.)

Revlie has so many adorable memory book tutorials in many different languages...you HAVE to check it out!

Accessorise has tons of crochet patterns but this little apple cozy caught my eye...now I just need to learn to crochet!

How cute are these pendants from Decelerate?

Have a happy crafting weekend!

Trash to Treasure Tuesday...

A few weekends ago, I stopped at one of my favorite Thrift Stores my way home from a day of treasure hunting with my friend Kate...and this little beauty was just sitting there waiting for me!

If I told you what I paid for it you wouldn't believe me...I think someone mis-marked it because aside from being scratched up, there was absolutely nothing wrong with it!

After two coats of Glidden's Barely Jade, this is what it looks like today...

And it's perfect for holding all my handmade books and journals!
