Now that I've got my feet back under me...

Geesh...I've once again neglected my blog! Now that all the craziness of Christmas is over, hopefully I can once again get back to posting at least once a week...we shall see! I was VERY busy this year with spring, summer and holiday shows. My holiday shows were a success, especially Holiday Handmade put on each year by Fancy Tiger. I only have a few shots of my booths and I am hoping I can get those posted soon.

So not only has my blog been neglected but my etsy shops have suffered too. Today, I finally got some new goodies posted in Lani's Vintage.









Aren't those just the CUTEST little rubber critters you've ever seen? If I still had little ones, these would be staying with me to decorate the nursery! I also listed this great industrial storage cabinet.






If you can't live without any of these things...then hurry over and snatch them up!

The CUTEST Memory Box!

First off...I know, I know it has been a long time since I've done a post...so sorry! I can't promise that I will be better at posting on a regular basis, but I will certainly try to be better!

A few weeks ago a darling little gal came into the gallery in Eads (Artists Of The Plains) to have a peek around. I wasn't working that day, but my wonderful friend Lil was, and she is always so kind to tell customers about my memory boxes that I make (I made 5 for her last year as Christmas gifts for her girls)! So anyways, she showed this gal and she loved them! She then contacted me about doing two custom ones for her. I just LOVE the way they turned out, here is a peek at one of them (she asked me not to post the other one, as it is a gift).





She loved them so much that she even made it her facebook profile picture! I've had lots of inquires about them now and I'm hoping I will have lots more memory boxes to make soon! Let me know if you are interested in one and I will get you a quote. :)

New Goodness for the Horseshoe Craft and Flea Market!

The much anticipated Horseshoe Craft and Flea market is this Saturday (Oct. 2nd)! At the fair I have will have some awesome new earrings and sparkly initial pendants! I was also hoping to have some new rings...but my resin isn't here yet! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will get here today and I will have time to get them made...we'll see. Here is a glimpse at the earrings and pendants ~







Oh, yeah...I almost forgot, some Bat in a Bottle Halloween Pendants!

Horseshoe Craft and Flea Market...Coming Soon!

Read the Interview and Enter the Giveaway!

About a week ago, I had a gal by the name of Samy contact me on etsy about doing an interview and giveaway on her blog. After checking out her blog, Samy in Wonderland, and seeing what a wonderful place it was I really wanted to do it. She has many great interviews and some wonderful giveaways, you really should check it out and become a follower! Samy also has an etsy shop, Princess Samy Vintage, full of great vintage goodies. To read the interview and enter the giveaway go here.

WOWEEE...I was on the FRONT page!

Yesterday morning while checking my e-mail, I came across a message from a friend saying that I had been included on etsy's front page! Below is a screen shot of it...YAY!



My pendant got lots of love...14 new hearts! My shop got lots of love...23 new hearts! It's amazing what just a short time of being on the front page can do!

JUST LISTED...Toy Tin Globe - Ohio Art - Vintage

So, it has been awhile since I've posted anything new for sale in my Lani's Vintage etsy shop. Here is a great tin globe that I got at an auction last Thursday.





If you would like to have this great globe you can just clink here - Toy Tin Globe!

Find Me At Tomte!

I am super excited to share that you can now shop for my goodies at Tomte! It is a wonderful shop located in Denver at 1644 Platte Street. The owners of this fun shop are Crystal and Brett of Vital Industries, they make great hand screen printed tshirts, dresses, hoodies, and accessories. If you are ever in the area you really should stop and shop!

Now Accepting Credit / Debit Cards!

With the holiday shopping season fast approaching, I've decided to start accepting credit / debit cards at my shows. Often times I will have a customer ask if I take credit / debit cards and when I would tell them "no", they would then have to go hunt down an ATM to get some cash...some would return to make the purchase and some would not. I am really excited to see if this will boost my sales...I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Put on your bow tie and dance!

Be like this chap and put on your bow tie, tap shoes, and do a dance!

This is my NEWEST line of pendants made from vintage 35mm film! Each is made with microscope slide glass, so it is really light weight, and soldered with a lead-free solder. This pendant measures 1" by 1 1/2". Don't miss these quirky pieces!

Now available in my etsy shop Objects Of Affection!







P.S. The pretty green flowers on the necklace are actually shoe clips that are available from my friend Mandy's shop on etsy, go get yours today at Fern And Sprout!

Denver Handmade Alliance - Treasury

Puddle Play!

We have been getting quite a lot of rain in our area this spring and fall, which is really wonderful considering we live in a farm / ranch area! The grass is tall for sure. The other day after we got a good soaking, the kids went to play in the puddles. They really had a blast splashing, dancing and goofing around!

SALE, SALE, SALE!

I am wanting to do a NEW business venture...so I need to raise funds! You will be saving 30% and MORE on many of my great soldered pendants (do some early Christmas shopping)! Visit my etsy shop and visit the SALE section to see all of the great finds...more will be added soon as well!
