a little giveaway with Kate

Fenton Hobnail planter.

Anyone who knows me knows how much I adore Fenton, Fireking, Anchor Hocking, and all things jadite.  And even more how much I adore JaditeKate (hell, her oh-so-lovely letterpress business card is centered on my refrigerator).  And sweet lady Kate has been so kind as to feature little ol'me on her blog! Yes! I am so excited and honored!  So do go check my interview out - and most importantly leave a comment on her post because that enters you (for free!) to win one of my little signature charm necklaces.  And of course, it is 'jadite' in theme.

A Festivus for the Rest of Us

It's a Festivus Miracle card by nikitysplickity

 Well, it is December 23rd. And you know what that means (if you're a Seinfeld fan, you do anyways.)

It's Festivus! 

We aren't hosting the Christmas (or Festivus) Celebration at our house this year so today we'll be off on the road to do a bit of traveling.  Thank you again to all my lovely clients, customers, followers and friends - many of you who cross the lines of those categories - who continue to support me in the many ways you do.  You all rock!  If you're traveling this year, please do so safely, and if you're hosting - please do that safely as well (especially if you attempt the "airing of grievances" or "feats of strength") *wink.*
