etsy shop update.

i don't know if any of you still read this little blog or not...but just in case...

the shop has been updated with all of my favorite fabrics.
it's painful to let go of some of these.
tears may have been shed and my stomach may be in knots.
but i'm trying to follow the same advice i always give my kiddos: share with your friends.
:)

*****

anna is celebrating her ninth birthday today.
forgive me for the short post but there is a big slice of birthday cake calling my name.
hooray for saturday!

shop update.

well hello there and a happy saturday to you!
i spent some time today updating the shop.
i had a small stash of vintage goodies and decided today was the day.
they are now in the shop awaiting good homes.
as usual, all profits go to our adoption fund.
we may not know what is going to happen with davis' country but are still doing what we can to be ready when the time comes.
:)

cyber monday sale!

we have been busy little elves this holiday weekend.
after the turkey and mashed potatos, we pulled out all the Christmas bins and made a big mess.
most of the house is back to order but we still have some more decorating to do!



today is cyber monday AND i need to clean out my craft room so i have some space for Christmas crafts.
so let's make a deal and slash some prices in my little shop!
ALL PILLOWS ARE $5!
AND IF YOU BUY THREE OR MORE, I WILL ADJUST YOUR SHIPPING COST TO ONLY $5!
why the heck not?!
:)

happy shopping!
xo.

next, i love julie's idea to have a "favorite things" party!
each guest brings five of their faves but each thing has to be less than $6.
then they all trade and share the goodies.
FUN! 
be sure to check out julie's favorites.
i want to try them all.

ok, last thing.
my two goofy girlfriends and i signed up to do the madison street festival again.
it's not until october but boy do i feel nervous.
i have no idea if i'll be here or in davis' country, but i know i need to do what i love.
making things, planning out a booth, working together with my friends...all stuff that i love to do.
so...locals, mark your calendars for october 6th!

(our booth last year)

that's all for now.
hope your tuesday is AWESOME!

spring pillows

hi you.
don't forget about my etsy shop discount this weekend!
use code PATTY20 for 20% off your order!
*************

it's been warm and sunny here and my winter couch pillows were feeling a bit stuffy.
i grabbed some light and airy cotton fabric and spent a little quality time with my sewing machine.

ahhhh, so much brighter and sunnier.
it really feels like spring now!

and i made more for the shop too.
we can be pillow twins!
:)

praying for you all to have a very blessed day today!
thanks so much for visiting.

st. patty's day discount!

don't ya just love st. patrick's day?
the corned beef and cabbage, green beer, four leaf clovers, irish accents?
we sure do.

so to celebrate, tricia and i are offering a 20% discount on your purchase from our etsy shop, coffee sisters, this weekend!
use the code PATTY20 to apply the discount!
happy shopping, you lucky leprechans!

i. am. random. hear. me. blabber.

yesterday afternoon, my car wouldn't start.
i think my car, like me, is feeling a bit exhausted.
i frantically called john, then my parents, then brother jay.
they each came to my rescue and all was well.
then on the way home, i drove with sunglasses on, through the rain.
yucky car, sunshine and rain--together.
told ya it's been a weird week.

anyways......

today for lunch i ate a lean cuisine meal and a piece of chocolate cake.
they even each other out, don't ya think?
makes total sense to me.

almost all of the kitchen towels have sold from the etsy shop so we are making more.
nana is ironing as i type.
good nana.
she loves the irons.

i am an email machine today.
think it? email it.
checked it? email it.
did it? email it.
i'm all over the email.
i think i can now type approximately 5034 words per minute.
maybe i should email somebody that fact.

anyways..........

i just discovered that i seem to have gotten chocolate all over my computer mouse.
and now it's all over my keyboard too.
nothing worse than chocolate skids on your mouse.
yuck.
i need a baby wipe!
this chocolate is outta control!!!!
.

ok, i'm back.
i think i got it all.

where were we...well, i guess we were going nowhere today.
some days are like that.

found this on one of anna's folders. she's awesome.

have you read this post by shannan?
it is so good.
seriously.
it's not about decorating or recipes or the latest fashion.
it's about seeing your life as all it can be, all it can do, all it is asked to do.
i couldn't make it through the entire thing without seeing davis' face in my mind.
and without hearing the Lord so clearly, it was as if He was speaking to all of us.
read it. watch it.
you will love it.
and it's so much better than this random rambling i've been doing all day.

dish towels--etsy shop update!

this morning my mom and i spent some time cutting fabric, ironing and sewing.
we chatted away and had some fun together.
it's so much better to craft with someone else--so relaxing!!

anyways, we whipped up some cute kitchen tea towels for my etsy shop.
hope you like them as much as i do (especially that adorable chicken fabric!).
happy sunday!

shop update. take two.

more.
lots more.
hope you like old, chippy, weathered and fun.
in the shop NOW.

shop update.

i added a few more vintage things to the shop.
why do i buy things i like so much?
it sure makes it hard to part with them!

the aqua quilt, dust pan, and keychains were all found in kansas.
hope you love them as much as i do!
have a HAPPY weekend!

coffee sisters. the etsy shop.

good evening y'all.
hope you had a nice weekend.
we sure did.
remember that laundry pile?
done and done.
remember those magazines?
read and devoured.
remember anything i talked about on friday?
no, well, me neither.
haha.

ok, i guess it's time for the real reason i'm writing today.
ben boy has a big announcement to make.
and no, it's not that he has food stuck all over his face!

our new etsy shop is now officially open for business!
my bff tricia and i put our heads together, usually over our morning coffee, and this was the result.

coffee sisters.
a fun place to be.
i hope you stop by and find something you love.
we will be refilling every chance we get but for now, this is a good start.
and of course, if you want something special, please let us know.
SO HAPPY!

talk to y'all later!
be safe out there my southern friends.
looks like the weather tonight could get nasty.
be safe.
