Owww...I found some belt buckles!!

Good Happy Friday Eve morning!!! Well...saying it that way makes the weekend feel even closer, ri iight??

It's suppose to be a pretty weekend too and I hope that means there will be several good treasure hunts to pursue. Treasure hunt=yard sales..hehe  I mean I am going through my old stuff (destashing) which means there will be room for new old stuff.

I said earlier that I was going to go through all my fabric and well........that kinda got put off for a bit. I have TONS of fabric to go through. I did whilst digging in my art closet find a bag full of belt buckles. Nothing wrong with them either. I just needed the leather belts they were attached to. Remember those wrist cuffs I made a few years ago? I even did a How To for ya'll. You don't remember? Well.....click here and refresh those memories.

I sorted through and grouped liked ones together and have them in my Etsy shop as destash items. Of course, they could be used as a belt buckle again (just add belt..hehe) or could be use for some art projects or some could even be placed in shadow boxes and hung in a man cave. Ohhhh, you'll see why I said that when you see a few of them. ^_^

Now.....see why I suggested a man cave? What better place for a shadow box containing a Jack Daniel's Old Time Tennessee Whiskey fine pewter buckle? They are authentic and are stamped on the back as you can see in the photo above.

  Varoooommmm!!! Here's some for that avid race fan. These would really look good in a shadow box hanging in that man cave that has a NASCAR theme going on. Authentic too and stamped on the back of each.

Now here's a grouping for that Western theme you might need. Like I said...these could be used for unique art projects too.

Here's some interesting ones. Now I didn't make these but I LOVE that someone did. One is made from nuts (bolts) and the other from nails. Very unique!!

There are a few other ones in my shop I'm offering and if not for anything else but to use them as a base to add upon.....well.....your imagination can "see" what they could be. ^_^

Until next time...........Hugs,

Destash...Destash...Destash

What does "Destash" mean? It means to Remove (yarn, fabric, equipment, ect) from one's own personal collection. I think it should add to the end of that definition.....to SHARE!! (or at least offer)

I told ya'll yesterday that I was going through some of my (whimper whimper) supplies and goodies to make room for some more. CRAZY...yes? Remove some to just bring in more...hehe

I went through some of my shells and section I have set up to make jewelry pieces and thought I would put together a few small necklace kits. They're in my Etsy shop, so if you're interested just POP on over. I even put directions on "How To" make them on the listing too. Very easy!!

Here's what they will look like once put together. Simple but what a great beach theme keepsake. If you order one and would like me to add one of my little paper gift boxes (in case it's a gift you will be giving instead of keeping) just let know and I will add it to your package. If there is an interest in these then I might put together a couple more.

Once I went through my tiny shells, I dug into the ones a bit bigger and came up with these nice destash groupings. (Also can be found in my Etsy shop....just sayin)

 Oyster shell, conch shell, olive shell, auger shell, 3 scallop shells and three Banded Sea stars.

 Oyster shell, cerith shell, auger shell, olive shell, three scallop shells and three Banded Sea stars.

Oyster shell, conch shell, olive shell, auger shell, three scallop shells and three banded Sea stars.

So much you could do with this nice grouping, eh? Start a shell collection, add to a shell collection, beach theme decorations, art supplies for that beach theme project and I'm sure you can think of many more uses. Since I can not get these into a small flat rate Priority box and have to bump it up to the medium then I will add a few more oyster shells (the projects with these are so many too) and even a small bag of beach sand. HEY, don't call the sand police on me. I don't go and scoop up baggies of sand. My sand comes from all the shells that I bring home. Before I wash them up, I make sure to give them a good shake and believe me, after 4 years of beach walkabouts and shell hunting I have accumulated a good bit of sand. 

Today I think I might go through some of my fabric and see just what I can bare to part with...hehe  I'll let ya know if I can ummm I mean what I come up with. 

Until next time...........Hugs,

Decluttering (cleaning out some supplies and such)

WOW....what a difference a day can make here lately. Yesterday it was hot, muggy and humid. Today is cool and breezy. Not complaining at all either cause the coolness is a welcomed thing and one that I am enjoying!! I love seeing the trees dancing in the breeze and listening to their rustling song.

Didn't some of the rustling sound like children? Well....hehe...it was. The elementary school is having field day today.

What I'm NOT enjoying is cleaning out some of my art supplies. Wahhhh!! Yea yea, I'm a big baby and apparently a supply horder..hehe ^_^

I need to replenish some of my supplies and that means getting rid of a few. (again....WAHHH) I have a few things listed in my Etsy shop already but will be listing more things in the next few days. My loss could be your gain, yes?? I might even put together a few kits!!

Until next time..........Hugs,
