Yart sale on Etsy

I am participating in the 1st annual Yart sale on Etsy. Like a yard sale but art! Type Yart sale into the search section in Etsy and you should come up with loads of goodies to look at. I have a Yart Sale section in my shop.

I have a new capped bead this week, Edaphic. Just copper caps nice and simple, but some great color and reactions.

Andrea Guarino is on Etsy now, check her shop out! I love her bracelets, and her kryptonite beads.

It's been raining here the last few days so I've been busy inside making beads! My garden sure loves the rain though. I've got a lavender hedge planted along the backside of the veggie garden and we are working on a little garden shed.

A couple new things from me. Sputnik a PMC capped and cored bead and Rockin a new Troll/Pandora bead, both in my Etsy.

Progress!

Well we've tilled and planted the veggie garden. I was very excited to find brussel sprout plants!! I bought 8 of them! The herb bed has a few plants in it, I have to search out eyebright somewhere. My peony now has a couple lilies beside it and all my potted primroses along the edge!

Garden!

I have been lusting after a garden space for about 10 years now. Hubby and I have finally started a nice big space for me to garden in! Here's some progress pics showing it before and as the soil gets brought in. Leveled, and new soil coming in for the veggie garden, herb and flower beds!

Sunday Metchosin Farmers Market

I've been doing the Metchosin Farmers Market on Sundays. It's a great little market running from 11 - 2 every Sunday from May 11th to Oct 26th. Lots of fantastic produce, flowers, baking, jellies, food and of course ME! I highly recommend taking the trip out to Metchosin if you are in downtown Victoria, it's well worth the drive. Maybe hit Metchosin Cafe for lunch or stop at the Broken Paddle Coffee shop. Photos courtesy of Melinda of Elysian Fields she sells fantastic eggs at the market!

Urchin Big Holed Bead

Urchin is listed in my Annealer Boutique auctions. I love the soft caramel tones in this bead with a touch of flair in the encased dots.

We've been busy this week, moving dirst for what will hopefully be a garden!

Two new Beads!

Two new troll / pandora beads! I am having alot of fun with these! Jim Moore's bead liner makes coring them with stering silver tubing easy and I don't have to hammer on the beads.

It's very windy here today. I keep thinking my sky lights are going to lift right off! The sun comes out, then a strong gust of wind blows the clouds over again and it goes dark and dismal. It's supposed to all blow oever and be sunny for the weekend though!
