Been Busy

I wanted to share a few things with you that I made over the weekend.  First, I must give credit where credit is due.  The idea for these place mats came from my blogging friend Sherry who shares goodies she sees on her monthly Scott's trip.  I loved them so much that I made a couple of sets to put in the etsy shop.

I also added these colorful books last weekend.  When I was in the apparel business and we were in the early stages of creating a new collection for a season, we found color inspiration everywhere.  When I look at these old Reader's Digest books, the color combinations inspire me.  I especially love the navy, white, and orange together.  My blogging friend Jaime shared this NY Times article with me.  Apparently books are big now.  Who knew?

Have a great week!
