Day 36/365: Pangea Swag

I have such an addiction to the jewelry Angie makes. I already have a ring I bought from her a couple of years ago, and I have relied on her for more than a few birthday and Christmas gifts for friends. I have lusted after those earrings for months and months now, and then when I saw the yellow butterfly necklace, EVERYTHING GOT BLURRY and before I knew it, I was clicking buttons with wild…

Right now there are photo prints available as well as one framed collage-type item, but I’m busting ass to add more things that, hopefully, people will want to buy.

Day 263: Oak Pond Glass

Oak Pond Glass, a little shop out of DeSoto County, always has a booth at C-Y Fest. This year I was unable to contain my lust. I wish I could link you to their wares, but they don’t have a web presence that I can find. [Project 365]
