Take a Peek Tuesday...Soldered Paper Weight

Paper Weight - Get to Work / Take a Break- Soldered Glass Upcycled from Security Envelopes~





Here is what I think is just the perfect little paper weight. I have upcycled some really cool patterned security envelopes to make these funky glass soldered weights.

One side of the weight says "get to work" and the other reads "take a break". They measure about 2".

The perfect addition to your office or give them as a gift! They will arrive in a pretty little tin like the one pictured.

**Many more of these will soon be listed, so keep checking back in.**

Shop at Envi...buy my stuff :)

I have been meaning to share a wonderful shop that I am now a part of called Envi! My wonderful friend Cindy Perry was for a long time telling me of this wonderful little shop. It is located in Colorado Springs (Old Colorado City) and she drives by it as she goes to her little cabin in Manitou Springs. So one weekend early in June she took me to check it out! It is truly a fun, funky little shop. After browsing around for awhile and getting enough courage to talk to the shop owner, I asked if I could show him some of the goodies that I make. He readily agreed, so I ran to get the box of items that I had brought along! He took a peek at all of the goodies and was very excited with what I had brought, so he called his wife (she does all of the buying for the store) to come down and have a look as well. When she got there she liked the goodies to! I was expecting to have them just consign some of my items, but instead they just bought many items at my wholesale prices. I am so glad that they are going to do wholesale orders, that way I won't have to worry about tracking the inventory each month. They even placed an order that very day for more goodies. I am so excited to be a part of this shop...so if you are ever in Colorado Springs please stop in to Envi and have a peek.

Comic Book Pendants

We all know a few of these types...the Mr. Know-it-all!


A funny pendant to wear on one of your YAY days! :)


This kissing couple pendant I listed on Dawanda the other day! I thought that I would see if I have any luck selling it on there! It seems that etsy is getting so HUGE that things don't get noticed as much as they used to! When I first started selling on etsy, it seemed that right away after listing, an item would have 20+ views. Items now only seem to get about 10 views right after listing it. I guess I'll just have to see what happens on Dawanda...it can't hurt to get my stuff out there in another market place!

Yay...I'm on Indie Parade!

I found out about a wonderful site Indie Parade from a really fun blog that I read called Tizzalicious www.tizzlovescrafts.blogspot.com. The other day she shared that two of her wonderful pieces got listed on Indie Parade...so I thought that I would give it a try. I submitted a little soldered charm. The one that I submitted did not get in, but my soldered cherry pendant on a red ribbon cord got on! :) Indie Parade is a really cool site...you should check it out www.indieparade.com.
