ThePinkTulip

Today's Etsy find and share...

Using vintage fabric and buttons The Pink Tulip mixes old with new creating the most unique ornaments I have ever seen. From shabby to Victorian, folk art to fairies, she does it all. Please take a moment to visit both of her shops, they are stocked full of one of a kind mostly pink handmade goodies.

Spun cotton and needle felted Easter Ornaments, scrap faces, and pants made of crepe paper are just a few of her unique designs. Don't miss the reproduction 19th century Victorian ornament featuring two scrap cats holding music sheets and a musical instrument.

My favorite pillow in thepinktulip2 shop has a crossed stitched rose bouquet tea towel centered inside a pink satin frame accented with wide and narrow lace. It is beautiful with the striped pink fabric backing and white pom pom fringed edges.

MADFOXES

Etsy Shop Here

My daughter was browsing Etsy Shops recently and of course it was clothing. She found Madfoxes and just had to have one of her altered vintage t-shirts. You can see them HERE.

Madfoxes is in Canada and offers FREE SHIPPING. Including to the US. We sent Madfoxes my daughters measurements for a slightly larger halter T than offered. She had it made in a flash and ready for purchase.The halter T was a perfect fit when it arrived. Amazing that she could get the fit so precise and her work is quality. It is obvious she takes pride making her creations and her customer service is top notch.

If your looking for high quality workmanship, low pricing, free shipping, and great customer service go see Madfoxes at Etsy.

You will not be disappointed.

Handmade Tea Roses - Tussie Teas -Tea Sets

2009-01-19T19:19:00.031-06:00

My daughter started planning her wedding last year; then they broke up. She wanted that elegant Cinderella wedding. Since we don't get to use these affordable finds and ideas I thought I'd pass them along to you.

I hope you enjoy my find and will visit Katie HERE an Etsy seller known as ShabbyRoses4u

We were going to use these precious paper teacups and paper tea roses for the reception. Did I mention she does custom orders. We wanted blue and silver tones.

These gorgeous Tussie Tea Roses were going to be used at the bridal shower. Did I mention you can really make tea with these? Not only beautiful, but usable.

Precious doily Tea Roses were going to be used at the wedding party dinner. Made with 100% food safe papers and materials each rose individually handmade by Katie making each piece unique.

All I can do is sigh for now, be happy that this break up happened before and not after, share and have a cup of tea. She uses Lipton Tea Brand my favorite for green tea.

Red Rose Faux Porcelain Painting

2008-05-19T13:32:00.015-05:00

I have had more requests for red roses lately. The latest requests are for 3 plates one with red roses, one with pink roses, and one with yellow roses. I don't porcelain paint and don't have a kiln. That being said I can faux paint with a porcelain look. This plate has metamorphosed into something other than the ugly apples with less than attractive blue edging that originally adorned this plate.

Google Checkout versus Paypal Checkout

2008-05-02T13:31:00.010-05:00

First sale from my store www.sophisticatedrose.ecrater.com and I've received a glowing feedback.

This sale is important for more than one reason. The item was purchased using Google Checkout. Being an experienced ebay seller I am familiar with Paypal but this was my first experience with Google Checkout.

I found the Google Checkout to be rewarding because Goggle charges less fees than Paypal giving me the opportunity to lower my prices to buyers. Rewarding to the buyer for it's ease of use and savings on product.

This has taught me when given a choice between Google Checkout and Paypal Checkout I will use Google. It's a win win situation.

Leather Journal

2008-04-30T09:07:00.007-05:00

The journal sold fast. I have been asked repeatedly if I had journals and of course I did not. I have searched for a quality affordable journal for what seems forever. I finally found a style I feel is exceptional. The only problem, I could only get 6 of them. So once there gone it's over and my search begins again.

Let me know if you want one and what color of roses. Price 24.99 plus shipping.
