Farewell Indian Summer...

Well, the last two days are leading me to believe my beloved Indian Summer may be over...boooo...

I completed a treasury for the latest nonteam treasury challenge

it's in the spirit of the beautiful day we had day before yesterday...

you can see it here

The challenge is to create a treasury that features this pretty necklace

it's from acorn alley designs they have so many nice items in their shop...

I found out about these challenges when the gal from The Pink Dillo

featured one of our items in a treasury she created for a previous challenge

She has the cutest items in her shop

I've been having so much fun creating treasuries...

and it's all due to her including me in hers :)

Hope you're enjoying your weekend!

WORD OF THE DAY

"Kelpie"

o.k., my first thought was the breed of dogs...

but not according to this dictionary I'm growing to love more and more...

Kelpie

"a malevolent water-sprite, supposed to take the form of a horse"

AWESOME is all I have to say about this...

Gotta love Indian Summer...

So, we found this dictionary last week and just have to keep it...

our word of this last week has been

kobold

"dwarf, goblin, or sprite frequenting houses, mines, and caves."

thought I'd share my daily treasures, I always find things walking between our houses,

and Chico is known as the city of trees...

so, first I found these amazing leaves

aren't they just brilliant!

then I found this pod....

         which turned out to be the prettiest little pinecone...

I had to include the latest addition to my acorn collection...

sometimes on really good days I find pretty acorns...

found this one walking back to the truck after seeing

one of our fave bands As I Lay Dying...

you can see one of their slower songs below...

keepin it easy on your ear drums here...

hope you love it as much as I do...actually a pinch of as much as I do would be aswesome!
nighty, night...

Booty, Booty, Booty.....

Thought we'd share our booty with you!

We found so many treasures this week and just can't wait to get them all listed on Etsy!

What a collection!

I can't seem to pick a favorite...

oh though, actually the decanters right up there along with the tree trunk nut bowl,

I've always wanted one of those...

and for the owl lovers...

this brass eagle is just amazing...

and I love how the shelf I painted turned out..

Frosty is so sweet...and the picture frames all turned out better than I expected!

love the faded gold ornaments...

 they're perfect for the heavily tarnished silver bowl...

Silver and Gold...

the silver tray is a unique one,

I love the etching and the chippy patina...

it reminds me of mercury glass...

and the crucifix is really cool...

it has cream colored strips that look like bakelite...

and the farm snips really make a statement...

I love the decanters, the ones in the back are still filled with water and bleach...

I always want them to be clean and shiny when they get to their new homes...

this little red tool box is so cute...

the recipe cards look good in there...

and the brown paper bag covered dictionary is spectacular,

it's filled with definitions for words like

 gravamen, grouty, heehaw, hobbly and the one that so sold me on this book

hogwash!

Well, I'm off to Etsy to get some of these listed...

Have a good night!

I discovered Etsy Treasury Challenges!

                                                                           

I made my first treasury for a challenge this last week, the sweet dress this treasury was featured around is pictured below...it comes from the Etsy shop chirpandbloom

ChirpandBloom

The challenge is from

    curationnation challenge

Hope you enjoy browsing through the treasury, it was so much fun making it, I'll show you my second treasury challenge of last week tomorrow!

Have a good night...
