PASSPORT COVERS









Summer means travel. Travel equates with needing a passport. It's just the new reality. This means we need another accessory - "The Passport Cover".

I've gone window shopping and came up with some great styles of passport covers. There are covers, cases, and sleeves. They come in a variety of styles from traditional and sophisticated to fun, funky and personalized.

I am sure one of these will be what you are looking for.

INTERNATIONAL TRIBUTE










With the whole world focused on watching the soccer matches, it is fascinating to see each countries flags colors. The pride of each country is so apparent, I figured it would be fun to see the items developed in tribute to the individual countries. I hope you enjoy the collection.

SHADES OF SUMMER - BLUE










I love window shopping through the shops on Etsy and than sharing my finds with everyone.
Sometimes life gets in the way and keeps you from doing your favorite things. Well, life has done that to me and I was unable to take the time to browse. I am anxious to get back to my window shopping. Since I missed spring, I can't wait to focus on Summer.
I hope you enjoy my collection of "SHADES OF SUMMER - BLUE". It is the beginning of a series of different "SHADES OF SUMMER".
(I hope you'll all forgive me, but I uploaded the pictures from the bottom up.)

WHAT COMES AFTER VALENTINES DAY?








The natural progression is we go from Valentines Day into Wedding Day. The planning and shopping for spring and summer weddings are in high gear.

I've been browsing all of the wedding postings on Etsy and found some really lovely items to add a touch to that special day. This is the first of many postings on the subject of weddings, because everyone is looking for those something special items.

ART AND YARN


I was immediately intrigued by the Etsy shop of Ayca. Her original designs and color concepts just captured me. I felt compelled to find out more about Ayca and share it with you.
Ayca lives in Turkey with her husband and toddler daughter. When she isn't running after her she focuses on her other passion.
Ayca has a special gift in designing with yarn. She found that her original designs were appreciated by the public and by Etsy and has been featured many times.
She learned how to knit and crochet when she was about 6 years old, but has only been doing it professionaly for the past year and a half.
She confessed to me that for her unique color combinations she has a secret advisor - her husband. He gives lectures on the Turkish Carpet and its art form and has a background in color.
Visit her shop and be captivated with her individual designs. Here is one of her lovely pieces.
