are your pedi's ready?

We had another storm come thru our area last night, that's 2 big ones just this week.  The good thing...it brought our temperatures down.  But not for long...according to the weather report this morning, we are going to have another hot summer.  Which made me realize...I need a pedicure for all my summer sandals!  Now, if you know me, you know that I love love love shoes.  It seems the older I get, the spicier I like my food, and the higher I like my heels, lol.  But who wants to wears heels, no matter how pretty, in the summer?  That's when I get out my sandals.  All shapes, all kinds, lol.  And I want to share that obsession with y'all, so I am offering a 10% discount on our flip flops, and ankle bracelets at OurHomeToYours.  If you want, or need, a certain color, just shoot me a convo.  And keep coming back as I will adding new flip flops and anklets to our stock.  Hmmmm, time to make some flip flops for a bride and groom, it is almost the wedding season :)   The coupon code is summerfun2011 and here's a few pictures and links to get your shopping started!!!!

These blue flower flip flops are the perfect size for your little girl, but can be made for an adult.

And these cool black and white flip flops are made with fun fur, and feel soft against your tootsies.

This is our first, but not our last ankle braclet, so come on, be a gypsy. :)

And just so the rest of you won't feel neglected, here's a crystal dragonfly necklace.

Don't forget the coupon code....summerfun2011.  It'll get you 10% off, what a great way to start the summer.

See you at the beach,

oh my aching feet, welcome back Artestia!

**I first wrote this blog in August, but Artesia was on vacation. Now she's back, so here it is. **

I love, love, love flip flops and sandles and open toes shoes. (The ones above I made and are for sale in my Etsy shop.) I love shoes so much that this past summer we took a trip to NY for a nieces wedding, and I had packed a rubbermaid tote with 14 pairs of shoes for a 2 week stay, lol. Now all the other shoe lovers out there will agree when I say, sandals can be hard on your feet. The bottoms get stained and dark, especially when I cut grass in my sandles, and the heels get rough, and there's not much arch support. Well, quite a few months ago, I purchased some products from Artesia on Etsy, and one of the products was the Winged Sandals Foot Soak. I finally used it last night. WONDERFUL! The soak made the water bubble, and my feet tingle, and if felt soooooo good. When I was done soaking my tootsies, I discovered that the bottom of my feet were smooth and clean. It was great! I also purchased their Sublime lip balm, and use it alllllll the time. Artesia has been on vacation all summer, but now she's back, YEA!!! She is starting to fill her shop again, and I'm just waiting for some more foot soak. And her customer service is great. So if you're looking for great handmade and NATURAL body and bath supplies, you need to check out this shop. You won't be sorry.

End of summer, boo hoo

While it's been too hot this season, (and I do love Christmas), I hate the end of summer.  This kids going back to school is nice, but the days of sleeping in, staying up late, bonfires and smores in our backyard, trips, and boating on the lake are my favorite days.  So, in honor of summer past, and the summers to come, I am offering 50% off my flip flops and vintage hats.


So come by the shop and help us make room for our new fall and Christmas items.

It's not the heat, it's the humidity!

Bah, phooy.  It's the heat.  I love the heat, but this is too much, even for me.  We have our A/C on full blast, and that's starting to show on our power bill, but with the temps in the high 90's, not much choice.  And the A/C gives me sinus headaches, so I've been a mess all over the place.  We try swimming in the pool, but it's like taking a bath.  But finally some relief tonight.  A great thunderstorm came thru our area, dropping enough water to refill my pool with nice cold water!  And here's a great sunshine treasury, created by vintage2new jewelry, featuring my newest flip flops to cool down your imagination.

And then here's a great watermelon treasury created by PACountryCrafts from the CAPSteam.

Our green alien buddy is in this treasury.

That 2 peas in a pod baby bunting is adorable.

Now to finish off this blog we have no grey areas just black and white by CoasterCouture, Uniquely Gifted One and All by SuzanneMedrano, and Hats off the the Caps team by whatshername.

So grab an icecream cone, view and click on these treasuries, then share them with your friends.
