Monday, Monday...


Well, I sent my little boy off to Kindergarten again. They have a drop-off. A teacher gets the child out of the car and is supposed to walk him to the cafeteria, where his teacher will collect her students and walk them down to class. The teacher got him out of the car and just sort of nudged him in the direction of the cafeteria. I pulled in to a parking space to watch. He looked so confused, but finally went in. With really little kids, it is so important that that things happen the way they are told it would happen. Tomorrow I'll let him get out of the car by himself and walk in on his own. At least he'll know what to expect. I hope it went Ok today.


On a different note, here is a fabulous treasury in blues:

Treasury Search






Today via the forums I found out that Etsy has made the Treasuries searchable. This is wonderful! No more wondering where hits on an item may have come from. I simply type "wishartglass" in to the search bar and voila! It shows any treasuries that I am in. Interestingly, there were 5 treasuries that I had no knowledge of! Here they are, better late than never:

"Got the Blues," curated by the KillerBs, included my Cobalt Lantern.
"To Catch a Fish," curated by gabrijoy, included my Koi Suncatcher.

Sunlight and water by ThatSomething on Etsy


Sunlight and water by ThatSomething on Etsy

This is a beautiful treasury in shades of blue and light amber. There were thunderstorms all day today, so this collection was a welcome respite from the dreary day. My Square Sun Suncatcher was featured.

Blue Like Jazz


EskimoKissez included me in her first Treasury, titled, "Blue Like Jazz." This is a really good first Treasury! It definitely has a noir feel. My Cobalt Streak Lantern was featured. Eskimokissez makes beautiful candles. She included her Starburst Palmwax Candle in this Treasury. It is available in 8 colors and 33 scents!

Electric Blue and Sea Goddess




Two new Etsy Treasuries!

First, "Electric Blue," curated by DefiantDamsel. Cobalt blue with a rock-n-roll edge! My Cobalt Streak Lantern was included in this clever collection. Check out DefiantDamsel. I guarantee you have never seen seen a crossstitch Joan Jett before! (Edward Scissorhands is hers, too.)
Next, "Sea Goddess," curated by BethanyRoseDesigns. This is a very sophisticated aqua and purple themed treasury. My Dragonfly Light catcher was included. Bethany Rose, like her treasury, does very elegant hand-beaded designs. I really like her MapleSugar-Whisky Quartz earrings.
Thanks ladies!

Preschool Fundraiser


Last night my husband and I went to a fundraiser for my son's school, The New Greenbrier Preschool. He loves it there and we have been thrilled with it. We try to do whatever we can to support the school. I'm on the Board of Directors (although sometimes I not sure how useful I am there). I also donated one of my necklaces for the Silent Auction. There was a bidding war over it! I was so pleased. Not only did that make me feel great, but it brought in more than I hoped from my donation. That necklace has found it's home, but here's a picture and link to another in the same line. My son also sold his first painting. We purchased his Flower Painting for $10. It will be framed, hung, and enjoyed for many years.
