Fabric Previews

Can you believe it's time to start geting ready for the Holiday season? Me either!!!
One fun part of this time of year for me is picking out and ordering lots and lots of adorable Fall and Holiday fabrics!
I'll be making and listing new items in the Etsy Shop as these fabrics come in :)

Scrap Packs

Scrap Bags are sold out

I've added 4 bags of fabric scraps to the shop today! Each bag is a one gallon size Ziploc bag crammed full of fabric scraps.....perfect for hair bows, clips, scrapbooking, fabric flowers etc.

Get yours today....

5/10/15/20 SALE

There's a really big sale going on in the Etsy Shop! Over 30 items have been reduced to either $5, $10, $15 or $20. That's more than 50% off on some items!!
If your looking for a gift or will need one soon, now is the time to stock up!!

The sale will last all weekend and items are ready to ship!

New Product Shots

Click, Click, Click! I've been taking lots of new product shots lately and thought I'd share a few! There are still more to come and eventually all the Etsy Shop pictures will be updated too!
Speaking of the Etsy shop.....have you noticed the lack of new listing lately? I am happy to have been super busy with orders outside of Etsy but am sad that the shop is looking so neglected. I should be adding new items soon.
