My First Etsy Purchase...Brin Made These

You knew it had to happen.

There was something that piqued

my interest enough to order them.

It didn't hurt that Brin was

running a special price either.

I've read Brin's blog,

My Messy, Thrilling Life for a

few years now and have to sometimes

hold on to avoid whiplash with all of the

twists and turns her life takes.

But, you know, the wisdom that comes

from this young woman sometimes just

blows me away. She has survived a broken

marriage, the purchase and loss of a home,

the opening and closing of an adorable 

bakery and a fabulous trip to Europe.

Brin is very crafty and resourceful

with a great eye for beauty.

She is in the process of settling down

once more.

We are invited on the journey.

You may be wondering what it was that actually got

me to spend hard earned candle money....

It was these adorable book corners.

I'll confess to being a corner folder.

I feel a twinge of guilt every time I bend those 

sweet little corners.

Well, I don't have to do that anymore.

And...no more book left open with spine bent.

nope.

The ones with words might be my 

favorites because I keep trying to figure

out if they are from a classic or just a random book.

The words seem familiar.

I think at some point when my brain gets tired

of trying to figure it out I will Google

the words and see what they are from.

to visit Brin at either her blog or Etsy

just follow the links in this post.

I am tickled with my purchase...

small though it may have been.

I'm loving Etsy.....both as a new buyer and as a seller.

Today Melissa will choose a winner of a $25 gift certificate to 

my Etsy store.

Wonder if it will be you??

Thank you, Melissa, for hosting this.

I love your fabulous photography and 

appreciate your friendship!!

Hugs.
