Colour My World: Green & Yellow

Welcome back, and happy Friday!
We're taking a "date" down in the workshop today.  I've nearly got half of our crates for our first craft show distressed, and Michael is getting a good start on all of our current orders today.  Someone requested a new style of custom crate, so I may have pictures this weekend.

Before we get started with our post, I just have to say...Etsy is such a small world.  I've been going to MOPS since September, and I just realized yesterday that one of the ladies I sit with each session also sells on Etsy.  Here's her shop (check it out if you like unique jewelry)!

Okay: green and yellow for my ever persistent Packers fan (and you know that I had to include *something* football related today...)  I wish I could say that all of the green and yellow makes me think of spring, but with the weather we just got, it's doubtful anything could convince me that spring is just around the corner.  Click on the photo-links to enjoy unique creations in this color combo.

Next week's Colour My World will be pink and brown.  I'm not a person who enjoys pink, typically...so this will be a challenge.  I'm hoping Etsy will rise to the occasion and help me learn to appreciate that color.   Any suggestions for pink and brown products?

Colour My World: Orange & Yellow

Ringaling! We've got a coupon code for you... Shannie from organicmountainwoman was just featured in our Wallet-Friendly Wednesday this week, and she has graciously offered us all 15% off any item in her shop.  Use coupon code NAPTIME15 for 15% off anything in the shop.

 Well, what did you do for Valentine's Day yesterday?
I had two little sick kids at home, so we celebrated in a limited fashion...but still with our biweekly trip to the post office and to the lumber yard. 

In craft fair news, our first craft fair is March 9th.  And we have zero inventory made.
Zero.
We've got the lumber and the stain, but we've been getting more orders than usual lately (for which we are grateful), and we have not yet made a dent in the stock we intend to bring.

Speaking of stock we intend to bring, that's one thing I had intended to show you today.  We've got a new stain: a bright spring-like yellow, and it goes beautifully with our grey crates.  Michael's talking about making an alternating set.  Maybe this weekend we'll get one thrown together.

So here we are:  Colour My World with Orange & Yellow. 
Aren't these beautiful, folks?

Happy Friday!  (Next week's Colour My World will be green and yellow, per my resident Packers fan's request....they just never give up, do they?)

Colour My World: Red & Black

Happy early Valentine's Day! This week's Colour My World features red & black.  Michael and I are having a "date night" in the workshop and at the lumber yard while my mom watches the boys.  For dinner, we'll have some quinoa and veggies.  Any Friday night date plans for you?

Next week, for Colour My World, we're going with some citrus colors, orange and yellow, to try to bust out of this winter grey.  If you have any orange and grey items that you'd like featured, comment or send me an e-mail.

Instead of linking in the captions this time, I've chosen to link the photos directly to make it easier for you.  So if you click on a photo it should take you directly to the item listing, and you can browse away in these fun Etsy shops!




















Thanks to all of the Etsy shops featured today! I hope you have a great weekend.

Welcome back to our Colour My World series!  This week's color combo was red and teal, and we have some beautiful items to show you today.
This weekend, I plan to get some photos of before and after distressing wood to show you in a post, so come back on Sunday for some DIY fun.  

Next week's color combo for Colour My World will be black and red, in honor of Valentine's Day.  If you have any items that you feel would be appropriate, please leave a comment.  Thanks to all of the great Etsy artists that we were able to spotlight today!  Go show them some love by visiting their shops.

Colour My World: Yellow & Grey


Yellow and Grey are a really popular color combo right now.  My younger sister is having a yellow and grey wedding, and I've been planning a yellow and grey bridal shower.  Look at some of the neat uses of those colors that are out on Etsy right now!

(Note: Next week's Colour My World combo will be red & teal, so if you have any pieces you want featured with that combo, please let me know!)

All of this beautiful yellow is starting to make me forget that it's winter in Minnesota.  And -8 degrees.
It's nice to daydream.
