Weekend Update

Kelp Basket by Leah Danberg

The Craft Market was great! I got through the whole thing, saw lots of really beautiful work and said Hi to some of my friends, but only lasted two hours instead of my usual 4 1/2.  Every time I went to a friends booth, I made them get up from their chair so I could rest my foot.  Owwie.  But I'm not complaining.  Just loving being able to walk.

I was a baaad girl and bought this lovely basket.  It's made out of actual dried seaweed. I've been gazing longingly at Leah's work for years (really), but am such a bad housekeeper that I wouldn't allow myself to own one.  I was just sure I'd drop it, crush it, damage it, something.  But I recently got a glass case, so I bought myself another little prezzie.  Gotta stop that.  Leah doesn't have a website, but if you're interested, e-mail me and I'll give you her phone number. I also picked up a little some'in-some'in for a friend's b-day, but I can't take a pic for you for obvious reasons. Her birthday isn't until next month.

Then when I got home, I read an e-mail telling me that my work was in an Etsy treasury!  Woo Hoo.  My first one.  So exciting.

Yesterday after my Guild meeting, I thought I'd peruse other Treasuries and lo and behold, I was in a second one.  So in the month I've been with Etsy, I've sold two pairs of earrings, been in two Treasuries and applied for membership in EtsyMetal.  Won't know if I got in for a few weeks.  I'll let you know.

Hope you had a great weekend too!
