Epiphany!

My eyes have been opened!!

In February I created an Etsy shop (www.etsy.thehumblebumblebee.com)I soon forgot about it after becoming discouraged and no longer checked the site or The Humble Bumble Bee's e-mail account. BOY OH BOY was this a mistake. My eyes would have been opened a lot sooner. Someone wanted to purchase a table I made!! I collaged this table with discontinued Starbuck's coffee stickers.
I decided to log into my Humble Bumble e-mail account and realized I had missed making contact with a buyer. I have sent e-mails to her to try and redeem myself and hopefully get the table to her. Hopefully this will work, if not I completely take responsibility.
Her wanting to purchase this table has encouraged me to go through with my Etsy shop and make it wonderful! I am super excited! Please visit and tell all of your friends! www.etsy.thehumblebumblebee.com

Here is a sneak peek at some of the featured items:

Lucky Thrift Store Finds!

I went to the local thrift store before lunch, "Soul's Harbor." I almost always find something I want that I am moderately excited about, but today I found eight awesome things for $8. I am redecorating my office/craft room and everything I have gathered is going to make an excellent accent. Most of the things I plan on painting different colors :). Here we go:

A simple, but shiny, pretty red vase!


Beautiful Geisha Figure! How I got this lucky, I have not a clue!!


Picture frame for pets with paw border(soon to be painted,) wood plaque: oh you'll see :), and a framed inspirational quote! Always good to have!


Otherwise expensive laptop case, that of which I do not have, that's right: $1!!


Fancy candle holder that matches my living room well!


DVD Stand, because spray painting this one is faster than waiting for Brawn to build me one :)


I am SO excited. :) Made my day! Hooray for thrift stores!
