It Feels Like a Purple Day.....

That's what I was thinking when I got up today! As I stared at my closet I realized I do not own anything in purple. I have slowly been donating clothes this summer and all my purple must have gone. Hmmm! Since I can't afford to go clothes shopping, I decided to go window shopping on FLickr. Look at all the amazing photos of purple, so many beautiful things. I especially LOVVVEEE the purple shoes. Every girl need purple shoes.

Great Events at The Market

It was great summer this year. I was so busy with everything, I kept forgetting to update everyone. I was hoping the great weather would continue but it looks likes the horrible cold wants to stay.

Lots of great things are happening at the Sunday Artisan Market. Stop by on Sunday, October 24 and join us in the Art Walk.

Happy Easter!!!

Fridays are for Shopping

Do you remember how exciting it was to open up your Easter Basket? Mine was always filled with a new jope rope, coloring books (my favorite), yucky jelly beans, peeps (double double yuck yuck), and a hollow chocolate Easter Bunny (I loved hollow. God Bless Mr. Bunny for finding it). I decided to dedicate this "Fridays are for Shopping" to us adults. Because at any age we still like to wake up and unwrap that cellophane wrapped basket and see all those goodies.

The Vintage Thread

These precious sachets are filled with custom mix of lavender and buckwheat hulls. Perfect for those stressful adult days.

Baked

One dozen of these very pretty cookies would be perfect and delicious.

Chicken Girl Design

These stamps are so cute.

My favorite thing in a Easter Basket is all the art stuff for a crafty girl.

Also check out her website, www.chickengirldesign.com.

FlirtButtons

I love, love, love these magnets. They are so cute and birds, too!!!!!

Shy Siren

Every girl needs a little bling for spring and these lotus earrings are just the thing. She also has more pretty things at her shop.

Chocri'

Create your own chocolate bar. Here's mine...

Dark Chocolate with

+ Fleur de Sel (Sea Salt)

+ Walnuts

+ Writing "Happy Easter"

+ Goji Berries (that's for all you LOCI fans!)

My dream candy bar only cost $11.20. There was so many choices, I had a hard time. (They even had bacon, YES bacon + chocolate. Who needs a boring hollow chocolate bunny now!!!!)

ShowPony

And Mr. Bunny left all these amazing treasures in this great bag. This screenprinted organic cotton bag is perfect as a purse or for my green grocery bag.

As always pictures belong to respective artists and websites so go to their websites and check them out!!!

Fridays are for Shopping

Last Saturday, I went to Ann Arbor for the Blue House Grand Opening Craft Show. It was great. I decided to pick some of the super great artisans for today's "Fridays are for Shopping."
