hello friends and happy friday!
I feel like my week just begun - I don't have classes on the weekend and feel that it will be a good solid two days to get caught up with my production for ooak. a few days ago I had 800 posts. I feel I should celebrate with a giveaway - I appreciate all of you for visiting me here. the giveaway is for a cotton canvas market bag in a light mustard colour and the new sky scarf - as well these two small adorable storage containers. leave me a comment and you will have till sunday at 10pm, the winner will be announced on monday.
have an amazing weekend and good luck!

  1. Oh how gorgeous! We are moving from Australia to Canada in a few weeks and taking little but clothing. These would be perfect for beginning to make our new place feel homely. What beautiful colours and textures you use. I know my husband would appreciate them too.
