Wristlet and Key Fob Combo Set -Cupcakes, $22.50 by Sweet Irie
Whats smaller than a purse, bigger than a wallet and more adorable than anything you've ever seen? If you guessed this stylish wristlet you would be absolutely right! And the awesomeness gets more awesome, because it comes paired with a matching key fob strap that clips right on so you'll have everything you need in one super-fashionable package.
Nearly three times the size of a coin purse, the wristlet easily holds all the necessities a cell phone, makeup, checkbook, sunglasses or whatever else you just cant be without. Handmade with designer fabric accents, this little sweetie has two layers of luxurious thick fleece and a double-layer of interfacing for stability, wristlets measure approx. 8.5" x 5.5" (21.59 cm x 13.97 cm).
The coordinating strap can be made with your choice of a Sweet Irie key fob or 3/4 thin strap, both made with webbing (for support) and the same designer fabric as the wristlet. Strap is big enough to slip on and off your wrist easily at approx. 10.5" (26.67 cm) and includes a split-ring keychain. (See last picture for an example of each strap.) Do you have a cupcake to share with me??? XO
As you might know, the past Saturday was my birthday and I got some nice presents that I'd looooooooooove to share with you!! The first thing that came in the mail was the new and sweet cupcake mold from Shop Sakura: I was drooling over it for few days and Fiona was so kind to send it to me and me and my daughter Michelle already put it a good use XO
And than just yesterday I found the most delicate and precious key necklace from Simag!!! I was so impressed by the workman ship and even the package was just too sweet for words..... They really spoiled me!
But the surprises aren't over!!!! My bestie Michele at Sweet Irie gifted me with the sweetest treasury
My blog buddy Kayla gave me a shout out/birthday wished on her blog, The Eclectic Element
Also, my friend Kim from Vabeachquilter purchased from me and blogged about it!!!
And I also got some clothes, a cord cam (YAY!!!) and I was able to talk via phone and via cam with my folks in Italy, which it's always really nice!!!
Next Sunday is Father's day....are you celebrating? Need a last minute gift idea? Then you're on the right spot!! What better way to celebrate father's day than having a sale? Daddy need to wash and relax, right?
I leave you with a fun fact: Do you know that Father's Day has different date celebration around the world? In Italy for instance, we celebrate it March the 19th for the celebration of Saint Joseph, the father of Jesus. Thought was worth sharing that in another corner of the world, we celebrate pretty much 3 months ago :)
Happy Easter readers, I hope you all had a wonderful day!
I sure did and while I'm waiting for a loaf of gluten-free bread to finish cooking I thought to show you the amazing things I got in the mail this week, so you all can drool a little XD
My friend Alysha sent me an awesome outfit for my daughter Michelle and How you can see from the picture above, she loved it! I also got her awesome lip balm for her shop: Morning Glory Meadows
To celebrate my acceptance to 1000markets, my friend Michele at Sweet Irie bought some awesome soap from me from Skin Journey. They smell fantastic and I'm about to hop in the shower with this one
Tropics of Hawaii- Spa Sea Salt Bar by Skin Journey
I really love the whole idea behind their shop, the fact that every scent in indeed a trip in some exotic place. I truly recommend all of you to sign up for their newsletter for some awesome savings!
Last, but not least, my friend Allison from Mommy's survival sent me a copy of the new Disney animation "The Princess and the Frog". My daughter Michelle has been asking to it for a while, so I'm gonna to keep it a surprise for her birthday coming in a couple of weeks ;)
And another Saturday is upon us.....HAPPY EASTER to all of you! Here the latest news, mostly about business this week.
♥ I'm taking a break for my Etsy shop: yes, you read it right. For the last 2 years I woke up in the morning scrambling over the PC with my hot coffee to list something, then crochet something, taking pictures, editing them and eat a sandwich at the PC again while I was listing another item, do all my chore and spend time with the kids in the afternoon so at night I can sit down at the PC and list while tweeting, facebooking, posting on kaboodle, votehandmade and what have you to get views.....all that to get 10 views at day in the best day. No more. I actually got back to CREATE and to love what I create and loving it more this way. I'm not going to leave Etsy completely: I will still take orders and list a few things, I'm just no going to sweat over a site that is not giving me nothing else.
♥ But, not all hopes are lost! I'm still very active in my Artfire Studio" new products are added daily and to celebrate Easter with all of you I'm having a FREE SHIPPING SALE and little samples are available like this
♥ I'm also very happy that My very best friend Michele at Sweet Irie decided to come back on Artfire. You can visit her studio here!
♥ The best news of the week was that I was accepted on 1000markets. For those that don't know, 1000markets is a site to sell handmade, but it's not for everyone since is juried. So, I submitted my work and few days ago I got approved! Here a sneak pick for all of you and I'm offering a free gift with purchase for all the people that will go to shop there
♥ I got very spoiled this week with a lots of amazing things coming in the mail: but this is enough for another post!
♥ And now enough business talking and I'm going to share with you a band that lately I'm LOVING so much that was really hard to pick up just ONE song to share with you: The Nickel back. I'm so gonna buy all their CDs, they're simply amazing. For now I settle down for this song, since it's a theme really dear (and also scary!) for me, hope you enjoy it!
Happy Saint Patrick day! I Hope you enjoy my findings!
On a serious note: prayers are need. Michele's (Sweet Irie) mom was rushed to the hospital 2 days ago for an emergency surgery. I don't have any other details other than that, but please pray for her, for a fast healing.
And if you all don't mind, pray for my daughter Michelle too? The antibiotics are not working and we're going to have to put tubes in her ears. Thanks!
