Allentown Fair

I didn't take many pictures on Tuesday because I was a bit disgusted about how my other pieces did, but, I did place in several categories in the Allentown Fair!  I'll go around this weekend and take more pictures, but for now, the coup de gras:

One of Phil's vests won first in the vest category.  We had to hunt for ten minutes for it -- the place isn't very organized, so it was up high on a wall, far away from other like items, and sort of behind a bunch of quilts.  I'll have to get a picture of where it is.  Whoever touched it also left it hanging on the hanger looking just awful. 

In other news, I finally made my first sale on Etsy, and have another (international) pending!  I've also listed some new and interesting goodies, AND...

New Items and a SALE!

You didn't think that was all, did you?   This weekend the shop will be having a sale -- !0% off everything with the coupon code laborday2012.  Now is the time to snap up some goodies...and check out what new stuff I'll be adding!  Here are a few hints....

Sellin' the Ipod!

So I'm selling my 32 gig current gen IPod Touch, since I got an IPhone and don't need yet another device.  This thing was replaced less than a year ago (the original had a hardware issue and a brand new one issued by Apple to me), has no scratches or dings on the screen, and only a few blemishes on the back.  Runs perfectly.  I can include the USB cable, earbuds (that I think I might have used once, if at all), maybe the manual (I can't remember if I still have it, but can hunt it down if there is interest), AND the case (a vertical flip, has a bit of wear but still in great shape).  I've also very recently added a screen protector ($20 value).  Will restore software to factory new before sale.  Asking $200.

The Coat!!

Finally, GOOD pictures of the completed coat!  I took these under varying light conditions in an attempt to capture how the wings look under various lights...it still just needs to be seen in person to be truly appreciated.  Going up today on my Etsy!

So it's a gorgeous day...I should be outside enjoying the end of summer somehow, but instead, I stayed in and painted...this:

Soon to be for sale at my Etsy shop!
