I'm not sure the Treasury made me feel any better, but the comments I received just make me love the Etsy community that much more.

Cheering Myself Up
I totally forgot to post this yesterday. I was feeling kind of down, so I created a Treasury based on the kitchen photo I found last week. The seafoam background with highlights of pink, yellow and red just kind of says "happy" to me.

Favorite Summer Read
Well, the summer isn't quite over yet (although I am looking forward to fall), but I do have a favorite summer read. I recently read a biography called Elizabeth and Philip, about Queen Elizabeth of England and the Duke of Edinburgh. It was really interesting. She's been on the throne forever, and although many have questioned why she hasn't abdicated in favor of Prince Charles, it's pretty clear that is not going to happen. Her duty is to her people.
It was really a fascinating book and knowing more about her makes her seem a bit more human and less a figurehead.

With a birthday coming up this month, I'm awfully partial to this cute little peridot ring in the shape of a crown. Adorable! Be sure to check out all her lovely items.
No More Bad Hair Days Treasury
I'm growing my hair out, and that's never fun. I figure a few cute hair accessories might make it a little easier. So I made a Treasury featuring some of my favorites from the talented Etsy crafters.
Super Easy Light Box
Still no official sales in my Etsy shop; I'm not counting the one "practice" sale which was just for me to see how the process works. And I still think my photography is a big issue; you've got such a short time and a small space to capture a viewer's attention.
So I built myself a light box, using these super easy instructions. Highly recommended. I think my photos look much better. Now everything needs to be re-shot!

Seeing Stars
Vintage mid-century star glasses: $22
Mid-century modern star platter: $65
Atomic dinner plates: $6
If I could afford it, my entire house would be mid-century modern. I love the simplicity and cleanness of the look.
These star motif items recently caught my eye.
(And Blogger sucks big time at placing photographs in a post.)
