Dirtroad Team - Scorpion Moon Designs and Tripician Treasure

Welcome friends, this is a day of breaking news from Japan. Please keep this whole country and the area around it in your prayers.

I have found four more incredible shops by two amazing artist, for you to visit today. The first shop is Scorpion Moon Designs, where Joann makes some wonderful jewelery all one of kind. You can also custom order necklace and earrings for a wedding or another special event. Joann also has two other shops on Etsy. The first one being Au Naturelle where you find soap, candles, lip balm, gift tags, and hand stamp ribbon. Her other shop is Vanilla Creme, filled with vintage white and creme items for your home. Her love of decorating with shades of white have spilled over into this shop. Then stop over at the Etsy shop of Tripician's Treasure this shop is filled with vintage items, mostly clothes. Check out the up cycled clothing for adults and children. Her jewelry is made from recycled pieces of jewelry. These pieces are also all one of kind, she is working with limited beads and pieces. Both ladies are filled with talent and can do just about anything. Remember you can type "drat dirtroadteam" into the search bar on Etsy for more shops from this amazing team. If you are a artist living in a small town, please come and check us out, and maybe joins us for morning coffee, or evening wine.

Fat Tuesday in S.E. Michigan

 

It is Fat Tuesday, and here in SE Michigan we celebrate with Paczki  (Punch-key) a Polish Tradition.  Germans call them Berliners and in Austria they are called Krapfen.  What is a Paczki - jelly filled dough balls  covered with several types of sugar or glaze.  Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday the start of Lent and fasting for the next 40 days.  How do you enjoy Fat Tuesday?  Please let me know!  Yes I still get my milk in glass bottles.  I live very close to Calder's Dairy Farm, and they put their milk in old fashion glass bottles.  We need to support our local cows.

On a gray, raining day I had a wonderful surprise!

Hello friends, I have to share the wonderful surprise I had on Friday! While blog hopping I found a post my Becky over at Primitives n Stitching about displaying baskets. Well I had to see the baskets and the display, and to my surprise the last picture looked like one of my baskets. Soooo I had to contact Becky to see if it was and yes it is! She won the basket filled with goodies from the Old Farmhouse Gathering Give Away, and one of the prizes was my basket. It is wonderful to see something you have made out on display in someones home. Becky has given me permission to use her picture of my basket in her home.
