I have landed a sweet new job. I have landed an appearance in another treasury. I have landed the 60th item to my Esty shop. Life is very good.

Woot…I’m in another one! And it’s a beaut…dig the sweet sunshiny treasury compiled by the lovely LisaHolley, a fellow member of the Starving Artists Etsy Team!  

This evening, as I’m deeply researching alternative ways to promote my sweet little Antoinette to the world (I like to think that perhaps my jewelry could contribute to world peace…or the abolishment of universal unfairness…but of course, these are lofty aspirations, I’d settle for ‘Antoinette Designs: Global Bringer of the Pretty!’) Mike and I hear [...]
