How to Create German Glass Glitter Letters

Today, thanks for your friends over at Classy Clutter we are offering a peek at how SIMPLE it is to great really great glitter Letters!

And the fact that she found Glass Glitter on Etsy in three different Grit sizes (we do love our Etsy sellers!) just tickled me..... silver.

Now of course, this would of been a great use for our new Silver Fusion, because for letters I always like to use the heavier grits (70 or 80 grit) the larger grain size really helps to pick up the light and add even more sparkle to your letters. Have Fun creating your own letters! Thanks to "classy" for a great post!

Flat Back Owls - The Star of the week! And also some duds.

We recently found these little Owls in Germany, I thought they were cute, and about 1" tall, so they met my standard for being both small and cute.

I guess I under estimated the number of Owls fans in the USA as we are already going back for a reorder. Now, to be fair I only bring over a "small" amount for a first order, as I really need to see if I have a home run hit or a huge dud. (Can someone tell me why these fabric flowers just do not sell? I thought they would do great, well, no need for a reorder on these!)

But these birds are really doing well for us and I wanted both give a big shout out to the Owls fans out there (you know who you are!) and to chalk one more nice little exclusive for our little company.

You can see more about these Owls by clicking here, and you can always send me photos of your "owls" in action for posting on my blog. Happy Birding!

"collage fills the gap the big–box supply stores leave behind." –Portland Picks

I recently spent quite a bit of time looking at the site for Collage, a retail craft store in Portland Oregon.

Part of the reason I like this shop is that I really like Portland.

I always have liked Portland. And at Collage, the sprirt of Portland shines. Like Portland, Collage is a mix of the standard and the turely unique. They have regular products, the standard paints, glues, pens. But also the unique, and the very unique. And classes, lots of classes. 

I like this, because it is kind of like us. We live for unique and we have lots to learn. Maybe that is how Collage found us, not really sure. But we are very happy to be buddies. If you live in Portland, or are just passing through, it's worth the stop.
