First of all, I want to apologize for my post not posting on the correct date. I knew I was going out of town, and scheduled my post for Sunday, 11-11-12 when I left. I am still trying to figure out what I did wrong, but unfortunately my scheduled post did not make it's scheduled appearance. I am so sorry, Rita of Toltec Jewels, who is the gracious hostess. This blog hop was a beautiful idea, and I know I will enjoy hopping to see everyone else's window. So here is my contribution, even if it is a bit late.
My intention in joining this hop was to motivate me to go ahead and open my own shop, to make the time to finally make it happen. I am still going to do that, but it is not ready yet. I do know that I love to give my jewelry as gifts. When Rita of Toltec Jewels came up with the idea of a Window Shop Blog Hop to advertise our own or to feature someone else's shop, I was hoping to open shop and fill it with lots of yummy handmade copper jewelry. When it became apparent that opening the doors to a shop wasn't going to happen, I decided that I would feature a shop or shops that supported handmade! Up first---
Christmas pillow boxes to wrap your handmade gifts to either put under the tree, or mail to the lucky recipient. The vendor, MIxed Messages 4 U , had crafters and artists in mind when she created her line of boxes, tags, and cards--blank or custom. All items are created by hand and with love. If you make your own cards, tags, and boxes or package your items with plain paper items, you might be interested in this very reasonably priced....
Handcrafted rubber stamp...It is only 1.2x1.25 inches for the stamp, 2x1.5 inches for the block. This would be perfect for handmade holiday cards as well! The owner is a stay at home mom that is a newbie blogger, and loves handmade jewelry! And when you are done wrapping gifts, it is time to pamper yourself with .......

Gina,
ReplyDeleteWow and Wow!! I am completely delighted with your post because I have been looking for pillow boxes since summer! Can you believe it? You are a complete wish come true here, and I'm so excited to not only finally find pillow boxes, but handcrafted ones? Hot dog! (And honestly, a big part of the reason I couldn't find them was I could not name even name them; I didn't know they were called pillow boxes... lol) Thank you so much! You rock! "MIxed Messages 4 U" is a great store!
I also love the delicious Argan Oil Mist for Hair and Body~ Yellow Cake Flavor! Yummm, and so wonderful for the Holidays whether giving gifts or taking time for that important self-care! Love!!
Gina, I'm sorry your scheduled post didn't post for you. Blogger has done that to me too. I appreciate your sharing with us all. Your shops are so cool, you've inspired me to do a little spotlight post on the Window Holiday Hop Stores and products.
Thank you for participating!
Your Holiday Shopping Window is excellent :)
Rita
Thank you, Rita! I thought perhaps, since I am fairly new at blogging, it was something I did or didn't do that caused my post to "not post". I so appreciate your understanding and forgiveness, and I am delirious with happiness that I helped you in some way after my faux pas. I can't wait to see your spotlight!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
