Leather Skirt for $0.99! (225:365)

$0.99 day at Goodwill was today and I scored some sweet stuff. 

The best of which was a black leather skirt for, you guessed it, $0.99!

I'm not planning on wearing it though, but on using it for other fun creations, such 

as a cute new pair of shoes for the Goose.

I found this great pattern for re purposed leather shoes on etsy.

Hooray!

I Made It onto Nie Nie Dialogues! (153:365)

I took a shot in the dark a week ago and sent some of my etsy shop stuff to Stephanie Nielson's awesome blog NieNie Dialogues when she did a call for a homemade Christmas.

She received HUNDREDS of submissions and kept posting that she'd only be able to show off SOME of the items she received...

...drum roll please....

And she picked me as one of the luckies!!!

Check it out here.

I wanted to send a shout out to my honey Scott for staying up and tying bows until 1am, my mom for writing price tags until 2am, my sister for going with me to set up and for helping me stay calm, Ashley for encouraging me to try doing a bazaar and letting me share her table, and Julie for pushing my merchandise on all her friends that dropped by our table. Ashley and Julie, it was a pleasure doing business with you both. Let's do it again soon! 

You all rock!
