I am using my loom right now to weave a scarf for my grandmother, but soon after I will be working on some new woven scarflettes as well as some longer knitted scarves. I just posted this sterling silver necklace too:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-AU7GSVaQlt-RQpjee0q21GWOreytgVb0BErI6EOMOfF0DwfqMeYETuQVnusLpCL_s-anAGjtZ-CWvPYEpOPfmvbZnPXbn5JjLpIlwWNBScRrVlym6advDc4r1NUsWWyfeb-ukkAIQn3j/s1600-h/MeadowNEcklace3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-AU7GSVaQlt-RQpjee0q21GWOreytgVb0BErI6EOMOfF0DwfqMeYETuQVnusLpCL_s-anAGjtZ-CWvPYEpOPfmvbZnPXbn5JjLpIlwWNBScRrVlym6advDc4r1NUsWWyfeb-ukkAIQn3j/s200/MeadowNEcklace3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287661981950287410" border="0" /></a>It is a very simple design, but the dark charcoal color of the oxidized sterling silver makes the beads stand out. I would like to do this same style necklace in a variety of colors. Maybe some earrings or a bracelet too.

Something you can not only look at, but sink your teeth into. Here are some of my favorites--some I have tried and others I am on the verve of hitting "Submit Order."<br /><br />First lets start with these "oh-my!-I-can't stop-eating-them-they-are-so-good" <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15418430">sweet and spicy pecans</a> from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5755030">Cocktail Party</a>.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.38636427.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.38636427.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />These are so UNBELIEVABLY delicious---they really are "love at first bite." You can't just eat one. Really. At first you get the crunch and the sweet, and then the spice kicks in and your tastebuds start dancing around and then you reach for another and the magic happens all over. My mouth is watering just thinking about them! And if you really aren't in the mood for spice, there is a new <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17113242">"Sweet and Salty"</a> that I have yet to try. Mmmmmmmmmmmm...can't wait to get my hands on those!<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.45776183.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.45776183.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>And now for something I haven't tried and I am wondering if anyone has. They are these scrumptious looking caramels from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6329088">Caramel Jubilee</a>. They come in a variety of flavors like <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17543403">Vanilla</a>, Chocolate, Licorice, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17546101">Pomegranate</a> and even Pumpkin! I am so ready to try these out, but I am afraid of addiction because I love caramels!<br /><br /><br /><br />And now for some C-H-O-C-O-L-A-T-E!<br />Oh yes...choooooooooocolate! What girls doesn't need a chocolate fix every now and then? Well, for me it's more 'now' than 'then.'<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.23207699.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.23207699.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>I have had my eye on these for a while. These look so incredible and I am sure they taste just as good as they look. They are <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10680335">Minty French Stars</a> from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5437770">Carnival</a>. If anyone has tried these, please share (literally would be great!). I may have to just take the plunge myself. The shop also features another favorite of mine: POPCORN! And not just any popcorn, but <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10890442">Cinnamon Bliss</a>, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10904819">Cherry Yogurt</a>, and a chocolate, coffee, graham cracker flavor called <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10883702">Rocket Fuel</a>.<br /><br />So please share if you have tried any of these sweets. I am sure they would all make great gifts too---if you can stop yourself from stealing a bite...or two...or three!<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>lilybirddesignshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05549524167033679085noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1117876654500034205.post-85970367397051911202008-11-21T05:37:00.000-08:002008-11-21T06:25:25.449-08:00Too good to be trueIt's is so cold outside right now. It's feels like the middle of January but it's only November. Brrrrrrrr! So how about a nice steaming cup of hot chocolate:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=12782284"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 500px;" src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.30075795.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>But before you take a sip, look closely because it's fake! Yup, it's not the real thing. I can't believe how real this looks. It is from a shop called <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5790153">Frosted Fakes</a> and it features tons of goodies that are just too good eat. Here are a few other teasers:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17123187"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.44256905.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.45212989.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.45212989.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Okay, now it's off to have some hot chocolate, but it's not going to look half as good. At least I can drink it though!<br /><br />Happy Friday!<br /></div>lilybirddesignshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05549524167033679085noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1117876654500034205.post-28774355206609219592008-11-20T17:02:00.000-08:002008-11-20T17:15:46.903-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.44133578.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 640px; height: 480px;" src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.44133578.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I absolutely looooooove this necklace. It is from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5574993">HelenesDreams</a> and I found it by checking out <a href="http://www.the-giveaway.com/">The Giveaway blog</a>. The stones in this necklace look like tiny chunks of ice. It's called "<a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17085939">Oregon Winter</a>." Just beautiful! I think I am going to add this to my Christmas wish list. I need to get one started soon!<br /><br />Here is another gorgeous piece from her shop called "<a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17198972">Winter FlowerGirl</a>:"<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.44505528.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 640px; height: 480px;" src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.44505528.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>lilybirddesignshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05549524167033679085noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1117876654500034205.post-73025618442388981862008-11-20T05:35:00.000-08:002008-11-20T05:44:12.503-08:00Join the mailing list by November 30th and receive a $3 coupon!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.mailboxnet.com/locking_mailbox_insert/standard_medium_mailbox.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 381px;" src="http://www.mailboxnet.com/locking_mailbox_insert/standard_medium_mailbox.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />If you subscribe to the Lilybird Designs mailing list by November 30th, you will receive a coupon good for $3 off any item in my shop!<br /><br />As a subscriber, you will receive monthly newsletters featuring new items, upcoming sales, and exclusive SUBSCRIBER-ONLY discounts and specials!<br /><br />To join, just enter your name and email address in the box at the top-left of my blog.lilybirddesignshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05549524167033679085noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1117876654500034205.post-17697531629976431052008-11-19T10:09:00.000-08:002008-11-19T10:18:51.055-08:00I have two new scarflettes that I just finished that are waiting for buttons.
