i need some elves

i don't know everyone who peeks in here, but i wanted to say thank you so much for coming to my shop + blog. it means so much to me, you have no idea! last week was a happy blur of packages and snowy walks to the post office, where the postman was still friendly before the real frazzled look sets in (soon). i was so wonderfully overwhelmed last week i didn't get a chance to say thank you (thank you shari!) and welcome! there's a project by artist lizzie ridout that i love :: she stencils a pretty welcome in chalk dust and then, with the inevitable steps of invited feet, it's swept away and we continue on with our day. but we still hold that welcome, we can still see it in the little swirls of dust left behind. :)

i also like how she says when "someone moves around a space, they create an invisible drawing under their soles."

so i have been knitting, knitting, and loving every minute of it. i settled down to watch the episode of the gilmore girls' we had downloaded last week and found a knitathon unfolding in front of me! perfect! there are more scarves in the shop (and a new one i think will be called cobblestone coming soon..) and winter ornaments for you to wear too...

i love window shopping from your desk, grab a cup of hot chocolate and let your fingertips do the wandering. i had this sweet guy by kate sutton in my etsy favourites, and every day i would wonder, is he gone? so i finally had to get him, because he is too cute to be forgotten.

now i just have to check off everyone else on my list ;)

this is a beautiful post. i love the idea of the welcome mat and the accompanying chinese slippers. i love your shop-the beautiful scarves and the sea urchin earrings (even if they aren't pictured here). and i love that monster by kate! how smart you were to snap him(her?) up. :)

hi jerusha,
you are so very welcome. :) i'm so excited about the gifts i purchased from you, including the gift to myself. ;) snowy walks to the post office sound quite nice. i am so enamored with lizzie ridout's work. i am going to print the photos and glue them into my journal. love your little monster and your winter charm brooches are just gorgeous. love, shari

Beautiful new creations, both what you are making and what you have purchased. That little Kate Sutton guy will, I'm sure, fit right in...
If you ever find some elves, do pass on my address to them too... I fear I am in dire need of one or two as well.
take care, g

Opps... that darn sleepiness! I can't seem to shake it off today. That above comment was actually from me, however I'm sure LJ feels the exact same way. Your creations are wonderful!
see you, g

[louise]

I am indeed in agreement with Gracia, your creations are wonderful.
