Random buttons, bead, and bows..... Glue them all together with a glue gun (shhh!).... And tell people it came from Anthropologie. (Not really, lying is bad!) And If you're too couture to wear a necklace that involves hot glue, you can just use this idea for dress up jewelry for your toddler! :o) *Edited to add: Just to clear things up a little, this is not how I make the bib necklaces I sell. I usually hand stitch them on. :o) See less

We went to the Poor Traits show tonight and enjoyed the artwork and some beer..it was unfortunately really hot, but that didn't stop us from having a good time! I actually only snapped these two picks from the show, you can get more info and see more pictures here: Headquarters Gallery and Boutique We also took a few silly shots before the show Sara modelling the always handy granny cart, wearing her homemade saddle shoes. Pre-question. I think it was important judging by the furrowed brow! Back to work for us..we have a secret collaborative project we're working on that we'll share more of soon. See less

I had a few happy Etsy moments the last few days! Etsy Happiness #1: My Anchors Away Necklace was on the front page yesterday! It was a admin picked ones, so I am extra proud! I missed it myself, but a bunch of my Twitter friends told me about it, and I got some convos too! Thank you Glamasaurus for the screenshot! Etsy Happiness #2: I was getting close to 2000 hearts in my Etsy shop, and when I checked yesterday morning I passed that 2000 mark! Wooo! What kind of hearts make you happiest? The ones with just a letter, so you know they are buyers, or the ones from other shop owners? Etsy Happiness #3: I had my 250th Etsy sale yesterday! So here's a big thank you to all my customers and hearters (???)! THANK YOU! (Just pretend that it's all sparkly and colorful, okay?) See less

Marie-Antoinette's pastoral pondside Hameau in the park, built in 1783. Monument of Louis XIV in the cour d'honneur The Château de Versailles —or simply Versailles— is a royal château, in Versailles, France. In English it is often referred to as the Palace of Versailles. When the château was built Versailles was a country village, but it is now a suburb of Paris with city status in its own right. From 1682, when King Louis XIV moved from Paris, until the royal family was forced to return to the capital in 1789, the Court of Versailles was the centre of power in Ancien Régime France. In 1660, Louis XIV, who was approaching majority and the assumption of full royal powers from the advisors who had governed France during his minority, was casting about for a site near Paris but away from the tumults and diseases of the crowded city. He had grown up in the disorders of the civil war between rival factions of aristocrats called the Fronde and wanted a site where he could organize and... See less

Our house was built in the deer's natural habitat in a remote rural area. Well worn deer trails cut through the property's abundant pine and sage. The oldest deer we've met (we call her Mama Rose) walked right up to us when we first arrived, sniffing and looking us over. Rose smelled some almonds in my pocket so I gave her a few. We gave some almonds to her family a few other times but stopped the practice when advised that feeding deer is illegal. Even so, that didn't stop them from regular visits. Rose and her kin obviously think the yard belongs to them as much as anyone else, and they are just taking advantage of the wealth of natural foods growing everywhere. They especially like clover flowers, but it's amazing to see the variety of tasty flowers, leaves, twigs, nuts and berries they'll eat. They stay away from herbs and herbal flowers, but on occasion we've seen young deer eating the sweet medicinal berries of the Juniper tree. Food is of course a major concern, but we also... See less

Virginia Tech undergrads have built a car that the blind can drive. This semi-autonomous vehicle is equipped with laser range finders, computer with voice software and other sensory technology that helps direct visually impaired drivers to take the wheel on a closed course: We are not only excited about the vehicle itself, but also the potential spinoff technologies from this project that could end up helping the blind,�� Dennis Hong, the director of the university��s Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory said. "The Blind Driver Challenge team at Virginia Tech��s Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory built the buggy. The steering wheel is hooked up to a distance monitor that gathers information from laser range finders, and it uses voice software to tells the driver how far to turn the wheel. For example, the monitor will tell the driver ��turn left three clicks.�� As the driver does that, the monitor makes three clicking noises. A vibrating vest provides cues to follow when accelerating and... See less

I can't tell you how many pairs of Van's I have owned in my life. But what I do know is they are my go to's when I get up in the a.m and I have to walk the dogger...and have been for the past 12 years of my pooche's lifespan. Kime Buzzelli just designed a logo that is up for votes on the Van's website. Kime describes her interpretation of the Van's logo: "Just wanted to show the energy that surrounds them. I imagine the types of girls who run around in them...dancing, kicking ass, and getting into some trouble." She rules and we love her! Head on over and vote for her!

Good Morning! Happy Dec 3rd!!! Yesterday I started up the old fairy Factory and started painting wooden beads to make heads and I used the last 4 made in Japan heads that I had to create some new flower fairies. I used to be able to buy white leaves in the wedding dept at Michael's but now they only stock green. I tea dye the white chenille wire and the leaves and then glitter them up after twisting them together. edited to add: I just founds some at Hobby Lobby and ordered a whole bunch! They are lovely when watercolored! Yeehaw!!! I'm doing the happy dance for white leaves! I love the aged, vintage look- well, you know that, right? The green leaves aren't too bad- very forest friends like! I think they are so cute! I keep saying that, as I make them- talking to each one saying: Hello, cutie! You are so sweet! and they just giggle back at me! I painted a bunch of beads but they need a second coat and then their features and a top coat of satin varnish. I also made some cupcakes to...
