Taking a long break

It's been a long time since I've posted here.  I closed my shop last summer when my family and I were preparing to move from Hawaii to Washington State.  I had initially planned to reopen my Etsy shop before the Christmas shopping season, but just never got around to it.  We've been so busy starting our new life here in the Pacific Northwest and I just haven't found the time for crafting.  I may still open my shop for a short time to try to sell some extra crafting supplies and bakers twine.  I'll post here if I do.

For now however, I'm starting something new that really ties into the life we are creating in our new home.  I created a new blog quite a while ago and am just now getting it going.  It's still a little bare, but check it out when you get a chance.  I'll be sharing photos from our new beginnings here on our little homestead, along with recipes, natural cleaning solutions and decorating ideas using things found in nature.

Here is the new blog: nurturingasimplelife

Thanks for taking the time to stop by.

Shop Closing

I've finally decided on a closing date for my shop.  I'll be closing on Monday, June 24th. 

Any orders placed over the weekend before will be mailed on Tuesday, June 25th.  I hope to reopen sometime in September, although it may only be through the end of the year.  

I'm still deciding which direction I'd like to take my shop next year.

Please stop by and see what's available.  There is still a lot of Baker's Twine

and a few drawstring bags and some cards and tags.

Stamp them with the numbers 1 ~ 12 for a 12 Days of Christmas

Muslin Pouch Advent Calendar

Pictured above is my muslin pouch advent calendar hanging 

in my dining room last Christmas.

I am working very hard to make pouches to list in my shop for this very purpose!

 I have one set complete and several more in process.  I'm hoping to have them

completed in the next day or so.  Once they're finished and I have a chance to

take photos, I'll be listing them in my shop.  Please note that the pouches I list

in my shop will not have the numbers stamped on them.  This will be a DIY sort of thing

if you wish to use them as an advent calendar.  It also offers flexibility if you would

like to use them as a 12 days of Christmas set for 2 children.  Or if you would

just like little muslin pouches for gift wrapping small trinkets.

Please check back soon as I am only making a few sets of pouches to list for sale!

A bakers twine update

Still working on clearing out my supply closet!

I have these two sets of bakers twine in Autumn colors.

They're perfect for adding a finishing touch to your Fall & Thanksgiving cards, invites,

scrapbook pages, garlands and other crafts.  There are 20 yards of each color wrapped

on vintage thread spools.

They are each packaged in a little black & white ticking striped

pouch, handmade by myself.  You can find the twine sets {here}

I have reduced the prices of my 50 & 75 yard spools of bakers twine to help you

stock up for your Autumn, Christmas & Winter crafts I'm sure you're busy planning

& working on.  Once the 50 yard spools are gone, I won't be carrying them in my shop,

however I'll still take custom requests if anyone would like that amount.  I have a mix

of both vintage & new thread spools for the 50 & 75 yard lengths.  Each listing will

indicate the type of spool you will receive.  You can find the 50 yard spools {here}

And the 75 yard spools {here}

The set of 10 ply bakers twine is also still on sale until October 31st.  You will receive 20 yards

of each of the 7 colors shown below.  You can find the set {here}

And last but certainly not least.........the 2 large cones of twine are still available.

The brown twine is 3 ply and the green is 4 ply.  They are both perfect for

Fall & Christmas crafts!  You can find them {here}

I am also adding more destash / vintage supply items.  You can find those treasures {here}

Thanks for looking.  Hope you're enjoying crafting for the upcoming holidays!
