Share The Love

Etsy is partnering with City-meals On Wheels to bring Valentine's Day Cards to the elderly. City-meals On Wheels serves over 18,000 people, that's a lot of cards.

You can help by making  them or you can purchase them from Etsy sellers to donate to the cause. Either way it adds a whole new delightful meaning to Valentine's Day for me. I hope it does for you too. :-)

For more information, please read the Storque article, Special Delivery: Share Your Love 2010. Now I'm off to find paper, cut out hearts & razzle dazzle them with a little love.

Back to School

Dahlila hasn't been getting the attention she deserves. The typewriter sits idle. The yarn basket runneth over. Distracted by other projects & mishaps life just got in the way.

Back To School

I'm brushing up on my graphic's skills this spring, antiquated as they are. (I can run a Multilith 1250 printing press with feed control, cut and bind your paper reams, hand set your business cards, but in InDesign? I learned it then lost it. Oh my.)

Once that project is under way my Naughty Thoughts cards will be getting a makeover. My fingers can't take the typewriter anymore--neither can my neighbor or my dog.

So, keep your eyes open for new and improved cards. You never know what I will say. ;)

Moving Continues . . .

Beginnings are always a bit confusing, a little disorienting. You may at times need to sit down and have a cup of tea, or something stronger.

Let me explain. The banner above reads "Dahlila Found" and that is my Vintage shop on Etsy. (There is also Dahlila on Etsy, my other shop, but that's for another story.)

But your address reads Snowflower Street; where are we? I am so confused. I feel faint. Please bring me that tea and pour that something-stronger in it please. . .

Snowflower Street is my home. It is where the real me lives. Snowflower Street began over on Wordpress where it will remain--all the questions, the confusion, the exasperations of life, the sighs, the yelling, the ennui, but also the beauty, the details, the walks, the observations, the little nuances of life that don't necessarily pertain to Etsy. The name just had to come along because I couldn't bare to come up with a new name.

This new blog will be mostly about my life on Etsy, my shops--both of them--and all the beautiful things I can find to share with you.

It's terribly dusty here still and it will be for quite some time. As unpacking can take me, well, as long as it takes me, but I'll try and share the journey along the way. I hope you will come back as I move in, rearrange the furniture, paint and settle in.

Meanwhile, you most welcome to read Snowflower Street. A lot has taken place there, dahlila.
