I feature Etsy artist often and always celebrate handmade! I have a love for vintage and everything about it. I feel as tho things from the past have a story to share and hold something special. I love indie artist as I am one myself. I have always had a niche for decorating I enjoy giving advice on it.CassieMariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04524250983749816824noreply@blogger.comBlogger75125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478457501994205438.post-37295250848188857722010-05-19T19:37:00.000-07:002010-05-19T19:40:00.432-07:00Please join me!To my readers- I thank you all so very much for always being here to read my post. I haven't posted here in a while as I haven't been doing Etsy or any art lately. I have created a new blog that I will be devoting much more time to.

I have always loved Halloween and still do! Etsy sellers offer a huge assortment of Halloween related items and I narrowed it down to my favorite 10. It was hard to choose with there being so many amazing things. Rather you're handing out candy, dressing up, horrifying your home, or having a party, there is something here for everyone!<br /></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/St07wJLdeZI/AAAAAAAAAoc/xB6fr2TlmMA/s1600-h/blog2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/St07wJLdeZI/AAAAAAAAAoc/xB6fr2TlmMA/s320/blog2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394533626943469970" border="0" /></a>This frightening wreath will be fabulous greeting little ghost at your door.

Ok, so my new goal for my blog is to bring you more productive post. I don't want this blog to be consumed by my Etsy shop or my new items. So here goes! I made the cutest fabric bottom crystal candlesticks last night. These candlesticks are easy and inexpensive to make. Give them as gifts for birthdays, Christmas, housewarming's, hostess gifts, or for any other occasion.<br /><br />Here's what you'll need:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/StQbEAD4OPI/AAAAAAAAAm8/7p3bLzI-btg/s1600-h/100_2421.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/StQbEAD4OPI/AAAAAAAAAm8/7p3bLzI-btg/s320/100_2421.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391964409419020530" border="0" /></a><br />1. Modge Podge<br />2. Crystal or glass candlestick<br />3. Fabric, just enough to cover the bottom so this is great for using scraps. You could also use pretty papers as well.<br />4.Pen or something for tracing<br />5. Scissors<br />6. Sponge brush<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/StQbqOAMkNI/AAAAAAAAAnE/6rd56vBez6g/s1600-h/100_2422.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/StQbqOAMkNI/AAAAAAAAAnE/6rd56vBez6g/s320/100_2422.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391965065996701906" border="0" /></a>First, you're going to start by tracing around the bottom of the candlestick on the fabric. Set your candlestick on top of the design you want and using your pen trace around the bottom until you have a complete circle.<br /><br />Using your scissors cut out your circle.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/StQdOiOnAjI/AAAAAAAAAnM/94pWW_2YYrA/s1600-h/100_2423.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/StQdOiOnAjI/AAAAAAAAAnM/94pWW_2YYrA/s320/100_2423.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391966789412782642" border="0" /></a>Now you are going to turn your candlestick bottom up. Dab the tip of your sponge brush with modge podge and gently apply the modge podge to the bottom rim of the candle stick, make sure you've covered the whole rim. *If your candlestick has a solid base apply the modge podge all over.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/StQeWMse4UI/AAAAAAAAAnU/FvlBTeMW5pM/s1600-h/100_2427.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/StQeWMse4UI/AAAAAAAAAnU/FvlBTeMW5pM/s320/100_2427.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391968020583080258" border="0" /></a>You are now ready to place your fabric on the bottom of the candlestick. Lay your fabric circle with the patterned side facing up. Turn your candlestick over and gently place it on the fabric. Be sure to make sure fabric is touching the entire rim. At this point you may need to gently tug the fabric to each side to make sure it's nice and tight.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/StQfAivI-qI/AAAAAAAAAnc/KUqyLXBJryg/s1600-h/100_2425.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/StQfAivI-qI/AAAAAAAAAnc/KUqyLXBJryg/s320/100_2425.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391968748054313634" border="0" /></a>Finally, apply modge podge all over your fabric using your sponge brush. Don't be scared, lather it on nicely! Place your candlestick bottom up again until it is dry. Once dry you are good to go!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/StQg5AtYwSI/AAAAAAAAAnk/vl3hqkatQT4/s1600-h/100_2427.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/StQg5AtYwSI/AAAAAAAAAnk/vl3hqkatQT4/s320/100_2427.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391970817684324642" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/StQg5l0chRI/AAAAAAAAAns/KDR1fmEhoiA/s1600-h/100_2436.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/StQg5l0chRI/AAAAAAAAAns/KDR1fmEhoiA/s320/100_2436.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391970827646043410" border="0" /></a><br />Here's what your finished product should look like! Sorry the pics aren't the BEST, but it is hard to photograph glass, lol. I hope everyone enjoyed this. This would also be a great craft project to do with kids.<br /><br /><br />Later this week, we will be pulling out the ghost and goblins and giving you some great Halloween tips for decorating, food, and more!CassieMariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04524250983749816824noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478457501994205438.post-65360113491158424512009-10-01T12:11:00.000-07:002009-10-01T12:27:18.404-07:00New Items In My Etsy ShopI'm so excited to announce that I've been working on some new items and some of them have been added in my Etsy shop.

So we are officially done with Summer and moving into Fall, my favorite time of year! The holidays are quickly approaching. Halloween is only a few weeks away, then Thanksgiving, then Christmas. A lot of people have started to buy Christmas gifts since the economy is still uneasy and the idea of waiting until the first of December to start buying everything seems a bit out there. I'm getting my shop geared up for the holiday season and I will be trying (key word, trying) to add new items each week. I will also be offering promos. Right now my promo is a BOGO sale (yes yes I love bogo sales). When you buy any switch plate cover you can purchase the matching outlet cover upgrade for only $2.50!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/SrhSiOlaDGI/AAAAAAAAAmM/DgtzUXy_upA/s1600-h/colorfuldot2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/SrhSiOlaDGI/AAAAAAAAAmM/DgtzUXy_upA/s320/colorfuldot2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384144102505450594" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/SrhShrDg3ZI/AAAAAAAAAmE/KNH_fLlMJQQ/s1600-h/000_0022.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/SrhShrDg3ZI/AAAAAAAAAmE/KNH_fLlMJQQ/s320/000_0022.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384144092968050066" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/SrhSg85Q1XI/AAAAAAAAAl0/H6zT6gdOcwk/s1600-h/000_0016.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/SrhSg85Q1XI/AAAAAAAAAl0/H6zT6gdOcwk/s320/000_0016.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384144080577025394" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/SrhShAvYi4I/AAAAAAAAAl8/hlvRYRaGmag/s1600-h/000_0019.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/SrhShAvYi4I/AAAAAAAAAl8/hlvRYRaGmag/s320/000_0019.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384144081609329538" border="0" /></a>Visit my Etsy shop<a href="http://www.cms36451.etsy.com"> here</a>.CassieMariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04524250983749816824noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478457501994205438.post-17933976247136230052009-08-17T18:20:00.000-07:002009-08-17T18:32:09.089-07:00News From Both of My Etsy ShopsHey my lovely readers! Hope you all are doing fabulous! Well, I just wanted to let you all know what's going on with my Etsy shops.<br /><br /> 1st, I want to announce that my pattern shop will be closing. I've decided to close it and concentrate more on my other shop with my handmade items. All of the patterns have been marked more than 50% off. I will not be re-listing or listing anymore patterns. Once a pattern's time has expired that's it. My unsold patterns will be donated to a local thrift store for someone else to find! You can visit my shop, Patterns4All on Etsy for some GREAT deals. Check out <a href="http://www.Patterns4All.etsy.com">Patterns4All </a>on Etsy!<br /><br />My main shop <a href="http://www.cms36451.etsy.com">She's Chic Boutique</a> on Etsy has some great new items. I've added some new switch plates that are covered in some awesome fabrics and there's something for everyone. Also, I have teamed up with <a href="http://www.daffodilhill.etsy.com">daffodilhill</a> on Etsy. She sales awesome fabrics and if you find something in her shop that you would like a switch plate in, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will get working with you to create exactly what you want. Of course, if you find a fabric you like elsewhere on Etsy just convo me or email me directly at cms_36451@yahoo.com and I would love to work with you!CassieMariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04524250983749816824noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478457501994205438.post-35764219088511244362009-08-06T18:48:00.000-07:002009-08-06T19:22:46.357-07:00My Fab Find!You all know that I love thrift stores. I really really do. I love the excitement of not knowing what you may find. Of course, thrift shopping has it's off days. You may not find anything, particularly at the end of the week. I would say Friday, Saturday, and Monday's are not good days to go unless it's early on a Friday. Usually, because these are the days that most people go and things are picked over. How ever, during the week is a great time to go. My mom and I decided to check out one of our local thrift stores today and I couldn't be happier with what I found! Here's my find below!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/SnuMfSX-3AI/AAAAAAAAAlU/9XFl7lDD_Bw/s1600-h/101_2250.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/SnuMfSX-3AI/AAAAAAAAAlU/9XFl7lDD_Bw/s320/101_2250.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367037850078338050" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/SnuMgXooIuI/AAAAAAAAAls/XIQFDm6nDQY/s1600-h/101_2253.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/SnuMgXooIuI/AAAAAAAAAls/XIQFDm6nDQY/s320/101_2253.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367037868670198498" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/SnuMfyQ76NI/AAAAAAAAAlk/sBgchSTxuvY/s1600-h/101_2252.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/SnuMfyQ76NI/AAAAAAAAAlk/sBgchSTxuvY/s320/101_2252.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367037858638719186" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/SnuMfsT0aII/AAAAAAAAAlc/hEWOEOY18Mk/s1600-h/101_2251.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/SnuMfsT0aII/AAAAAAAAAlc/hEWOEOY18Mk/s320/101_2251.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367037857040197762" border="0" /></a><br /><br />These beautiful green glass compotes are most likely from the 70's. They all have a scalloped rim with a tear drop pattern around the top. I still can't believe I found this set. Of course they were a little dirty, but nothing soap and water couldn't handle. But, what you may not believe is the price I paid for these! The largest one was $3, the medium one $2, and the smallest one was $1! I know, amazing.<br /><br />Want one for yourself?

I am now Mrs. Tony Brown!<div style="text-align: center;">Hey my wonderful readers! I'm here to let you all know that as of Saturday June 13 I am now Mrs. Tony Brown. That's right, I got married! We had a beautiful (hot, but beautiful) outdoor wedding here in our hometown in Alabama. The ceremony was held outdoors on a pine plantation over looking a beautiful lake. I was an emotional wreck Friday and most of the day Saturday but I made it down the isle and said I do to the man I love. It was one of the greatest days of my life, the honeymoon was much needed, and now it's back to reality. Here are some pics of our day!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/Sj8b2F6kQeI/AAAAAAAAAhU/w04U9wzy27k/s1600-h/wedding7.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/Sj8b2F6kQeI/AAAAAAAAAhU/w04U9wzy27k/s320/wedding7.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350025498454147554" border="0" /></a>Here comes the bride!

And I have to throw in that handmade all the boutonnieres and my bouquet as well. I know you can't tell it, but they're artificial. They look and even feel like a real rose, but they will last a lifetime! I'll be back in a few days with the regular routine. Hopefully I will have a give away soon!<br /><br /></div>CassieMariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04524250983749816824noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478457501994205438.post-34305073191313538872009-04-15T20:18:00.000-07:002009-04-15T20:31:30.005-07:00An Easy How- ToWow, it seems like it has been forever since I posted a how to. With all this wedding planning going on I've neglected my blog and to my readers I'm so sorry. I will try to post more, I promise. Well the other night I was bored and feeling crafty so I decided to go create something. I didnt have anything in mind until I saw a cardboard box sitting in my bed room on the floor. Here's what I made!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/SeakYYKriPI/AAAAAAAAAhE/hOA5Or70p5g/s1600-h/101_1656.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/SeakYYKriPI/AAAAAAAAAhE/hOA5Or70p5g/s320/101_1656.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325124348123252978" border="0" /></a><br />These cute and shabby letters are made to spell out "NEST", because our home is our nest indeed.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/Seakj6ITZ6I/AAAAAAAAAhM/AhOvTyPwtkU/s1600-h/101_1659.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/Seakj6ITZ6I/AAAAAAAAAhM/AhOvTyPwtkU/s320/101_1659.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325124546218649506" border="0" /></a><br />I decided to sit them atop this canvas painting of a hydrangea in my craft room.<br /><br />Here's what you'll need to make these:<br /><br />cardboard<br />scissors<br />acrylic paint<br />pen or pencil<br />box cutter (optional)<br /><br />First, decide how big you want your letters. It's really up to the individual. Mine are about 4 inches tall. Next get your cardboard out and lay it flat on a table. Now draw an outline for your letters. Remember, they need to be block letters in order for this to work. After you have each letter as you want it you can begin to cut them out. You may want to go over your outline with the box cutter to make cutting with the scissors easier. After you have each letter cut out you can then paint them. Mine are painted different colors, but of course you can paint them any color you would like. The bottom of each letter should be flat so they can stand (prop) on something such as a shelf, mantle, window sill, or any other place you would like to put them. You can also make smaller versions to use for scrap booking or make larger ones and embellish them.

Which is probably why I chose it as my wedding colors. I actually chose to use light pink and a darker or hot pink. My fiance's groomsmen will boast coordinating black tuxes with light pink vest and ties and darker pink boutonnieres and my bridesmaids will wear dark pink dresses. I found my wedding dress yesterday! It's an amazing dress. So in celebration of my upcoming wedding this post is dedicated to everything pink. Here are some great "pink" finds.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.dangsworld.etsy.com/"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 236px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/ScxONlwfsVI/AAAAAAAAAgU/Dn6UpskMF5s/s320/blog3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317711255398494546" border="0" /></a>These pink chrysanthemum earrings are so cute.

The breezy air, sunshine, birds chirping, flowers blooming, it is all so beautiful. Today in Alabama it was almost 80 and I felt like we skipped Spring and went straight into Summer. Here are some beautiful items from Etsy that are sure to get you in the mood for Spring. I know we all look forward to warmer weather!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.baconsquarefarm.etsy.com/"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/SZyp0LKTNHI/AAAAAAAAAe0/_aD8Hj-_SGs/s320/blog1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304301174949885042" border="0" /></a>This makes me wish I had wings and fly in for a visit.

This and more wonderful bird houses can be found in the Etsy shop of <a href="http://www.baconsquarefarm.etsy.com/">baconsquarefarm</a>. She also has some bird house garden stakes I really liked.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.tskdesign.etsy.com/"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 261px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/SZzyllG-e_I/AAAAAAAAAe8/nB07RiNTIUQ/s320/blog2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304381188566055922" border="0" /></a>I love wind chimes. Just hearing them "sing" with each breeze that passes bring me much joy. The beautiful green glass and copper chimes of this piece go so lovely together. Grab a set today and hang on your porch or in a tree.

If so you should certainly grab some of these Zinnia seeds and watch your flowers grow. Zinnias make beautiful arrangements. You get 100 seeds for only $2.00 and once you cut some off new ones will come!

So grab yourself an adorable mosaic frog watering can. He is just so cute. I would suggest leaving him out for all to see, unlike those plain watering cans we tend to hide away in the storage shed.

Sure you are. Forget going to the market for corn, plant your own. I love sweet corn cooked on the grill. It is so yummy! Simply butter it, add a dash of salt and pepper, wrap in foil, and cook on the frill for about 30 minutes. Absolute goodness! Organic sweet corn seeds are from the Etsy shop of <a href="http://www.HomegrownHealthy.etsy.com">HomegrownHealthy</a>. And guess what? This is a PIF, only 20 cents for 25 seeds.CassieMariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04524250983749816824noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478457501994205438.post-37810835582857372072009-02-17T15:54:00.000-08:002009-02-17T16:05:33.702-08:00Just Added!I have just listed 3 new items in my Etsy shop <a href="http://www.cms36451.etsy.com">She's Chic Boutique</a>.

As some of you know in Sept of 2007 I gave birth to my first child. My baby boy Noah Caiden came into this world via emergency c-section a month early. There was a blood clot in the placenta or umbilical cord, we'll never know for sure which one. Noah was a fighter, but his fight ended at 2 weeks old. As my fiance, my mother, and I looked on our baby left us for Heaven. He got a blood clot and it caused him heart failure. My mother and I have a long history or blood clots and both of us have had almost fatal blood clots. We have a hereditary blood clotting dissorder known as Anti-Thrombin III deficiency. Since Noah's death many many doctors have told me I should never try to conceive again since there's no medicine for what we have other than the standard blood thinners. Well a few days ago the FDA approved a new medicine for our dissorder that will be used for patients with ATIII during surgery and pregnancy. I am beyond excited about this. My moms boss told her and her co-worker to check out something the FDA had released about peanut butter and some how she ended up on the page about the new medicine. I know without a doubt God took her to that page. Of course I will have to sit down and talk to all (and that's a lot) of my doctors about this. But, we have hope again. All of our hope was never gone, but it surely wasn't all there either. I just wanted to share this exciting news with you all. Keep us in your prayers!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/SZHmUh-CREI/AAAAAAAAAeM/WV_YALYx74Y/s1600-h/noah6.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/SZHmUh-CREI/AAAAAAAAAeM/WV_YALYx74Y/s320/noah6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301271476782122050" border="0" /></a><br /> Our angel Noah at 2 days old in the NICU.CassieMariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04524250983749816824noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478457501994205438.post-46387617066414787622009-02-08T16:30:00.000-08:002009-02-08T16:57:36.893-08:00New Addition To My ShopHello everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are ready to start a new week. I recently added some new things in <a href="http://www.cms36451.etsy.com/">my Etsy shop</a>. I am so pleased to announce the addition of fabric covered switch plate and outlet covers. These are great for any home and any room. They offer a quick home improvement at an inexpensive price. I only 2 available so far, but will be adding more soon. I am accepting custom orders, so if you have a favorite fabric just convo me! Here at the 2 I have done so far.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.cms36451.etsy.com/"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/SY96J9ieTMI/AAAAAAAAAdk/mhBTNwYp6Fw/s320/101_1321.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300589597994929346" border="0" /></a>This is a fun and funky pink leopard print fabric covered switch plate cover.

Here is the matching outlet cover.

He never fails to bring us beautiful fabrics. I think this will make for a lovely light switch and outlet cover. I found this in the Etsy shop of <a href="http://www.HomeGrownPillows.etsy.com">HomeGrownPillows</a> and purchased it. I couldn't pass this up.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/SY98tmBjJbI/AAAAAAAAAd8/rkhvTLm6wN4/s1600-h/blog2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uKBvbvSbNbo/SY98tmBjJbI/AAAAAAAAAd8/rkhvTLm6wN4/s320/blog2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300592409181365682" border="0" /></a>Another lovely fabric from Michael Miller. This particular print is named Carnival Bloom. If a carnival had flowers growing I'm sure they would look like this. So beautiful!

Lol. Oh well, shows how beautiful his work is. This is Michael Millers' ChaCha stripes fabric. Once the switch plate and outlet covers are finished in this fabric it will look awesome in a little girl or teens room. This was purchased from the Etsy shop of <a href="http://www.bluewhimsy.etsy.com">bluewhimsy</a>.<br /><br /><br />As I mentioned previously if you would like something custom made for you just convo me on Etsy. I would love to work with you. I will be searching for and purchasing new fabrics so look for new additions soon.CassieMariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04524250983749816824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478457501994205438.post-4225008084183968072009-02-07T12:40:00.001-08:002009-02-07T13:17:05.606-08:00Weekend Style: Vintage LoveI've decided to continue each weekend with the "Weekend Style" post.

I hate showing favoritism, but I am in love with these vintage shades. I have somewhat of a sunglasses fetish. I probably have 15 pair and that's not enough. I put mine on all the time. I have one really big white pair that I wear all the time, even at night sometimes. Lol. These vintage shades are huge and have rhinestones on the sides. So chic!
