London Craft Market and Shopping

In hindsight, I wish I would have taken more pictures at this market, but some people do not like for their craft ideas to photographed. So, here are the few I was able to take.

Old beer bottles turned into glasses.

These looked like jewelry boxes with a compass attached to the lid

Love this display piece!

Ladies, you will need at least two full days to shop in this area!

More shopping!!

Of course, the Apple Store in London

This is an old deli turned t-shirt shop. Love how they use the old meat cases to display the t-shirts! This place is called Johnny Cupcakes.

I only wish I had more time there!

Upcycled Domino Tile Pendant Necklace

My metals/jewelry making class that I am taking has inspired to create some really cute upcycled/recycled tile art necklaces . I was at the thrift shop last month and I picked up this tin full of Dora the Explorer domino type pieces. They were in great shape and made of a nice heavy filled plastic/resin with white on one side and Dora characters on the other side. I sat them aside until this past weekend when I thought – I need to do something with those cute little pieces. By nature, I’m a big recycler. I love taking something old and making it new. I’ve seen these necklaces all over Etsy so I thought I would give it a try. So, while hubby was out and about, I plopped down at the kitchen table and began creating. I had already downloaded a few art sheets specifically designed for domino size pieces from Etsy (these sheets are really inexpensive). You don’t have to use these, I just chose to. Leading up to this project, I had already ...

25 Things you might not think to bring Cruise Packing List

Tendering away from the Carnival Spirit Since I just came off my third cruise, I thought I would put together a little cruise packing list. I was searching on the internet and I came across so many sites that tell you to pack things like bra and underwear – well duh, I don’t need help remembering to pack things like that! So, this is not your normal cruise packing list, this list contains stuff you might not think to bring. Please feel free to add anything else you can think of to the comments section of the post. 1. Walkie Talkies – since you won’t be using your cell phone on the cruise, these would have been invaluable to bring. Notice I said ‘would have been.’ We were cruising with some friends and there were times that we wanted to get in touch with them, but we had to rely on pure luck to just “run into them . ” 2. Power Strip – there was only one outlet...

Let’s jump right in. Out of the hundreds of thousands of items and shops on Etsy – what is the best way to be “found” in your experiences? Stacey from Vintage Jane said “Best way to be found is through Etsy "search" Laura from Peachy Chic Boutique said “I think SEO words are the best way to be found. Describe your item in the exact words you think someone would search for your item. I always put the word Vintage first, if appropriate to the item. Adding a color to the title will help people making treasuries or searching for that color find you. I copy my titles into my tags & separate with commas. I always add my shop name as a tag.” Susan from Callooh Callay said “I think paying attention to SEO is one important aspect of being found (don't know what the ...
