I love Etsy! (and, apparently, calendars...)

Dear Shayne,

This year, I bought not one, not two, but three calendars from Etsy sellers. I am a bit of a nut. However, here is my justification: one for work, one for home, and one is postcards! How cute! If you're lucky, you will get the month of August in the mail!

The first calendar I bought was from annacote, who makes lovely cards (and other items too!) She's sold out of calendars, but you can see one like the one that I bought here.

I also bought a letterpress calendar from greenchairpress because, you know... who doesn't love letterpress? I am a total tease, because they are also sold out, but you can see it here. I also love her type collages.

And the postcard calendar came from happify, who still has some in stock here. This calendar came in the loveliest envelope with absolutely gorgeous labels. I love pretty packaging!

And just so you don't think I'm only buying calendars, I also got these fabulous earrings from Sassafras Creations:


They're made from a knitting needle! How great is that?! She also has several other items made from recycled knitting needles, although it looks like she's sold out of the earrings. I am most impressed with her transformation of needles to beads, although I like it when you can still tell it's a needle (like the earrings and bangles).

I had big plans to take a bunch of photos of my other Christmas crafts this weekend, but it looks like we're about to be buried in rain here, so natural light will be right out. Perhaps I will have to set up the indoor studio. Whee!

love,
kelly
