What a blissful day it has been, sunshine after four days of rain, coffee with friends, sleep and nothing, that is right,nothing I 'had to"... time to be...
sold A couple of weeks ago I did the background for two address books, a set of Altered Book pages and five ATC's, I finally finished the projects this week. The first of the ATC's flew the nest this afternoon and the AB was posted weeks ago. If you need a new address book I put them both on my Etsy, along with some plain ones so you can make your own.
I do like Etsy and I must confess I am shopping there more and more. In a world full of packaging and a thousand items made the same - too often in sweatshop conditions - it is a pleasure to buy the handmade and home made. I like using the search by location function and finding other artists in my area and I like the personal contact with both sellers and buyers.
I didn't actually set off to do a promotion, but I have been reflecting on my appreciation of this site as I shopped and listed items today.Where do you shop for gifts?
Whatever you are doing today I wish you peace within and soul food to rest your eyes on.

Hi Julie
Love your backgrounds - yum yum.... clever you. I agree Etsy is a wonderous place to visit to shop and to just drool over yummy eye candy. I am about to pop over to your shop to buy some watch findings. :-)
These are beautiful.
Julie I love your backgrounds (you are so clever). Very special ATC's and your altered books are fantastic. Love that rusty buckle - you come up with the best stuff !!!
Beautiful work, I do enjoy visiting you here, though I wish you lived closer. The backgrounds and work done on them is just inspiring.
Beautiful shades of rust, as I've said before you do them so well, so much texture and layers.
My favorites are the one with the kitty and the the one with the children. I'm sure they will go quickly.
I am having one of those peaceful days today. Rain and a long nap so far.
Hugs,
Sherry
Your backgrounds are always stunning Julie. So many beautiful textures and layers.
