Desert Awakening, Arizona Beauty...

As many of you know, I am an Arizona "gal", so I thought it would be fun to share with all of you some awesome Arizona artisans.  Their work is incredible.

A wonderful mix of southwest decor, jewelry and even something for our lovable companions with four paws.

ArtFire's Unbelievable Group Deal...

Over the past few weeks I have been moving items from my shop on Etsy to my studio on ArtFire. Little did I know at the time I made this decision that ArtFire was going to make an offer that is totally unbelievable.

Originally ArtFire offered the $5.95 monthly deal to 20,000 members. To our surprise, John (CEO) and Tony (COO) of ArtFire changed the criteria to "all" members who sign up by Oct 1, 2010 will definitely get the group deal. After that, memberships will be $9.95 a month, which isn't a bad deal, but doesn't $5.95 sound even better?

I am so excited to be in on this deal! They have also left Beta behind, WOOT! The front page of ArtFire has taken on a whole new look. It now features "Collections" created by ArtFire Artisans.

All the changes at ArtFire are just incredible and in perfect timing for the upcoming holiday season.

If you haven't checked out ArtFire for awhile, it is never too late.

So come on by and visit, love to see you there. *smile*

Sage and Pink Blush...

With the temperatures so high the last couple of days, cool drinks and soft colors surrounding me made the heat tolerable.

With that in mind I created a Treasury on Etsy filled with "awesome" artisans and their wonderful items created in either Sage or Blush.

Oh Sage How You Make me Blush

Stop by for a visit and let these Etsy sellers know how gorgeous their items are.   I promise it won't be difficult to do.  :)

Have a wonderful day!
