Needlepoint Belt Buckles

New Etsy Find...Needle You, a company that sells needlepoint belt buckles.   You can order a monogrammed one or pick one of their cute designs.  The prices are between $33 - $45, so very affordable.  I love finding these cool vendors..you have more of a chance of having a unique accessory instead of something everyone else has.

Check out Needle You on Etsy.

Back in Business...

Growing up in my house, I never was able to utilize the bottom two drawers of any dressers because they were filled with my Mom's fabric collection.  She sewed so she was always buying fabric and her collection just kept growing until in 3rd grade we moved and I reclaimed my drawer space.

I seemed to have caught her bug, because I am super drawn to fabric and have a collection of my own.  In the beginning of my business, I sold beautiful fabric frames and desk accessories and used to send them my fabric to use, but that only made my collecting get out of control.  When I stopped carrying these items, I made myself stop buying fabric.

Well, guess what?  I am re-adding these amazing fabric covered goodies to my assortment this summer.  Last week, I pulled out all of my fabric and surveyed what was left and am getting it all together to send to my vendor, look out for some great gifts on my website.

A few months ago, I saw a link to a cool fabric website called Hawthorne Threads and have been getting their updates.  They have many designers' fabrics with millions of choices.  Here are some of the ones that caught my eye...

Tons for kids...

So imagine these on picture frames, waste baskets, tissue box holders, notepad holders and more.  The best part of this collection is that if you are decorating at home, you can send me your fabric and we can have these items made up for you to match your decor.  The prices are very reasonable.  Look out for my new products..they are going to be so cute.

Spring Trunk Show

Last week, I had the most amazing trunk show at my friend Carolyn's beautiful home.  She had so much space, I was able to put most of my goods out to sell.  I had lots of jewels, tons of paper goods, Queen Bea bags, Lilly shopping totes and tons more...

I had been making jewelry for weeks getting ready...

All my Ann Page notepads and stationery on display...

Lots of yummy snacks..

Lots of great friends hanging out Thursday night..

Rufus got a little tired at the show after watching all the action...

I even had some superhero support...

Queen Bea Studio bags, always a favorite...

And my new Crabberrie bags were a hit..

All in all, it was an amazing show.  So great to see so many friends and it was very successful, so all my hard work paid off. 

Once I got home, I unloaded it all in two carts, a miracle...

Thank you thank you thank you Carolyn!!!

I loved our show.

Jacks in Peril

Mary Ann, this post is dedicated to you...

Did everyone see this on Facebook last week?  I literally laughed out loud when I saw this picture because I have 3 pairs of the ones on the right going at the same time and now they are all mixed together.  I finally had enough this weekend and got rid of 2 pairs and am down to one sad very used pair of gold Navaho sandals, which I think go with everything.

So, I decided to finally take the plunge and buy these...

I have been wanting these for a while and while I was in a spendy mood, I took it a step further and bid on new gold and silver ones on eBay.  Frisky, I know...I am so sick of all my shoes and am dying for some new ones.  Back in my credit card mania days, I had the most fun shoe collection..mostly from Neiman Marcus and now they are all very worn and I am ready to throw them all out!

I have a shoe fairy in my life but she has been super busy and I haven't gotten any phone calls lately letting me know to come pick up a bag of her usually perfect cast-offs.  Maybe this blog post will pump up my shoe karma and I will hear from her asap. (she doesn't read my blog-so it really would be karma).

I know I have been MIA (missing in action, not Miami) lately, feeling horribly guilty about it and am promising once again to get back on the blog train.  I have been off the tracks for weeks dealing with my crazy job, my business and my life in general.

G.I.V.E. Day 2013

This past Saturday, months of planning all came together for this year's G.I.V.E Day project.  We picked a foster care agency in Fort Lauderdale called Kids in Distress.  This amazing place is so impressive and after over 800 people came to paint and landscape this past weekend, it looked fresh and renewed.  My small team at work is responsible for pulling it all off, so that is why I have been Missing In Action these past couple of weeks.  My life literally is on hold until after it is over.  Now, I can breathe and get back to reality.  This is one of my busiest times for Kristin Pearce Designs-teacher gifts and Mother's Day.  I have so many new things that I will post about soon.

G.I.V.E. Day at Kids in Distress was a huge success!
