Lost track of time

I lost track of time again today- it always seems like there is more to do than hours in the day. I was planning on doing a fun thrifty thursday post but had nothing prepared. I can give you some very early info on a sale coming up soon- Etsy's Christmas in July sale. I will give more details later but i do know the sale will run from July 15th and not sure the end date. There will be a variety of shops with some great sales which makes this the perfect time to stock up early.

I will be joining the sale- more details to come later and i will also be previewing some of my fall and holiday items in the coming weeks.

Everyone have a good night- catch me tomorrow for my fabulous friday finds!

Wordless Wenesday- Baby Gifts

All these adorable baby girl gifts can be found in http://mimisdressshop.etsy.com/- my little shop. Next week i will find more baby gifts from other shops.

Mimi's Saturday Holiday Picks

I thought it would be fun to show off some great holiday gifts or cards that are sure to be hits this year. These are items from some faboulous etsy sellers:

Look at these great Holiday Tags for wine bottles from Madebyjackie- http://www.etsy.com/shop/madebyjackie Each wine bottle tag is designed and printed by me on either white or kraft colored card stock. They are specially die cut out, and scored so they fold nicely over the bottle. At the bottom of each tag, I will place your name or choice of personalized message. These tags measure about 2.75 x 7 inches in size and you will receive 4 tags...

This adorable pin cushion is a must have for anyone who loves to sew as much as me- not only is it cute to look at but very handy for those needles that i always seem to lose. This little pins cushion is from Guth Designs- http://www.etsy.com/shop/GuthDesigns The pincushion has the look of a flower with 8 petals that surround the center of the flower.This is a very generous pincushion as it measures 6.5" across and 3" tall.

And my last pick for today had to be something primative and vinatge as i just love all of that. This adorable pink stocking is from Prairie Primatives- http://www.etsy.com/shop/PrairiePrimitives This Primitive Christmas Stocking is made from antique and vintage textiles -- the only thing that isn't antique or vintage is the sewing thread! I've used antique quilt for the front of the stocking, vintage feed sack for the back of the stocking, antique fabric for the binding, antique hand crocheted lace trim accented with vintage mother of pearl buttons, and vintage rick rack for the hanger loop. The quilt piece used in this stocking is from an authentic, much-loved, handmade American quilt; there is some "wear" to the quilt but it's in very good condition for being close to 100 years old! This stocking is 20" long and 4.5" wide at the top.

Also be sure to check these shops all out this weekend as they are having some great sales too. Happy Saturday!
