"Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises."
-Pedro Calderon de la Barca
Yes, Yes, Yes - more green! I cannot help myself! It is such a wonderful color, so cheery, happy and alive!! There are so many wonderful things that I find in the color green and I just cannot resist! My husband laughs, he thinks it is an addiction! Maybe it, but I do know that I cannot help but smile when I "SEE GREEN!"
How the color green affects us physically:
* Soothes
* Relaxes mentally, as well as physically
* Helps alleviate depression, nervousness, and anxiety
* Offers a sense of renewal, self-control, and harmony
-Kate Smith, CMG, CfYH
Today I am showing off a great Etsy shop that I stumbled upon:
LuLu Dee - Designs + Letterpress!
Her profile states that she is a graphic designer and began letterpress printing 3 years ago. I think her work is fabulous! The three pieces I have featured below are my favorites! (now if she would only make them ACEO size!)
1.) Modern Vases Letterpress Print
2.) Modern Stones Letterpress Print
3.) Modern Shapes Letterpress Print
Green: The color of the heart chakra
*This chakra is located at the center of the chest area and is linked to the heart, lungs, circulatory system, cardiac plexus, and the complete chest area.

Silly Joke of the Day:
What did Tennessee?...The same thing Arkansas.
What did Delaware? ...Her New Jersey.

Hello! Sorry I have not posted in a few days, my oldest son turned 8 and we have had a busy week celebrating!
I recently joined the Etsy Treasury Team (etteam) and I have fallen in love with the work of my fellow members. It is just not possible for me to show you something from every member so I narrowed down my choice by color (green) and then picked the first item that caught my eye! Everything I have to show you is lovely - I hope you think so too! Enjoy!

Hello and Welcome!
There are so many things that I enjoy, so showing them should not be a problem! However, it is difficult to narrow down the choices. Since spring is right around the corner and thoughts of Cherry blossoms are swirling around my head - why not feature Cherry blossoms?!
They are one of my favorites: flower, tree, scent, color, etc... When you take a look at these products featuring Cherry blossoms you will see why I love them so much! I found so many lovely things and could go on for pages. This is my pared down list, Enjoy!
The National Cherry Blossom Festival is an annual celebration in Washington, D.C. This celebration commemorates the March 27, 1912, gift to the city of 3,000 Japanese cherry trees from the Mayor of Tokyo to strengthen the growing friendship between the United States and Japan.
CHERRY BLOSSOM BANGLES - Copper and Sterling Silver Bracelet
A cherry blossom is the name for the flower of cherry trees known as Sakura. In English, the word "sakura" is equivalent to the Japanese flowering cherry.
CHERRY BLOSSOM - 12x12 Silk Screen Print on Wood
Cherry blossom is an omen of good fortune and is also a symbol of love, affection and represents spring. They are also an enduring metaphor for the fleeting nature of life, and as such are very frequently depicted in art.
Cherry Blossoms - 6 Color Card Set
Cherry blossoms and leaves are both edible and used as food ingredients in Japan. Salt-pickled blossoms are added to hot water, this is called sakurayu and is consumed in place of green tea.
CHERRY BLOSSOMS - Makeup Bag
Cherry Blossoms are indigenous to many Asian countries including Japan, Korea, China. Japan has a wide variety of cherry blossoms, over 200 varieties can be found there.
VINTAGE BIRDS IN SPRING TRIO - Set of 4 Tags
Vancouver, BC is famous for its thousands of cherry blossom trees lining many streets and in numerous parks. Each year, Vancouver holds the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival.
SPRINGTIME IN PARIS - Cherry Blossom Wreath
"If only we might fall Like cherry blossoms in the spring So pure and radiant."
-Anonymous
JAPANESE CHERRY BLOSSOM - Soap Cake
"Loveliest of trees, the cherry now Is hung with bloom along the bough, And stands about the woodland ride Wearing white for Eastertide."
-Alfred Housman
HAND PAINTED WOODEN BOWL - Spring Time Cherry Blossoms
Cherry Blossoms Adrift
Pink petals passing
Scents above so high
Painted porcelain perfection
Blossoms caress the sky
Swaying silent shroud
Suitors strolling by
Pink petals passing
Lover's gentle sigh
Pastel hues falling
Slow fluttering grace
Pink petals passing
Lining streams in lace
Pink petals passing
Smoothest transit by
Soft essence floating
In most subtle lullaby
Inducing springtime slumber
Upon a satin shore
Sailing with the current
Pink petals pass before

Showoff Sunday!
Hello - Come on in and visit!
Today, I am pressed for time, so I only have two wonderful items to share with you! Enjoy!
"Cookies are made of butter and love."
-Norwegian Proverb
Hamentaschen Gift Box from Zingermans!
Hamentaschen are wonderful triangle-shaped pastries filled with slightly sweet fillings. They are traditionally eaten as part of the Jewish celebration of Purim, which runs 2/28/10 - 3/1/10.
For those of you that have visited before, you will know that I LOVE Zingermans! The only problem I have: they are not located in my town!! They are my go to for gifts of all kinds. After all, you can never go wrong with food!
"Once in a young lifetime one should be allowed to have as much sweetness as one can possibly want and hold."
-Judith Olney
Assorted Easter Candy from Williams-Sonoma are Easter basket staples in our home.
I usually have to purchase each of these delicious treats individually, but Williams-Sonoma made it easy for me this year and is selling a set of all three! The jelly beans are awesome and with flavors like tangerine, key lime, lemon and pink grapefruit - you can't go wrong! The malted eggs are the best I have ever had and my kids LOVE the sour bunnies!
Williams-Sonoma is another of my favorite shops and I am very lucky to have a Grand Cuisine located in my local mall! (They know me by name!)
Joke of the Day:
How do you get a kleenex to dance? … Put a little boogey in it.
