A few days ago, Morgan, one of my customers, asked where I bought my dresses on Etsy, so I wrote her a list of places I’d bought dresses before or had favorites from. I have some other favorite pieces from various shops, but this is a list of places that I visit A LOT and just love in general. I’m probably forgetting some, but here’s a good start!

I’m Your Present

Lynn’s Rags

Miss Alphabet

Pretty Snake

Luminia

Rusty Cuts

Nicole Carey

Let me know if you have favorite Etsy shops with cute dresses!

So pumped that Marie from Agent Lover wrote about the Yummy You! Pizza Scarf as “Item of the Day” over at HelloGiggles!!!

Dear Diary,

I have a Snack Confession: I LOVE PUMPKIN PIE POP TARTS.

I didn’t want to. I really didn’t . I know that Pop Tarts are really bad for you. They’re like cardboard and plastic injected with fat and covered in sugar.  BUT. I. LOVE. THEM.

This is my second box. I’ve been buying them at Target. That they are limited edition makes me want to buy them more.

Upon the rare occasion that I actually purchase Pop Tarts, I always opt for the non-frosted kind, so I was afraid that the Pumpkin Pie version would be too sweet for me, but it’s not. It’s perfect. Marry me, Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts.

There seems to be this joke on the internet about who exactly likes the Pumpkin Spice Latte and all the season’s pumpkin spice whatchamahoozits, and if there’s any truth to that joke, then I guess my spirit animal is a white girl in Uggs listening to Lorde, eating Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts.

The Yummy You! Pizza scarf is available at HotTopic.com, and the whole site is actually on sale right now!

My crochet book is back in my Etsy shop while my new supply lasts!  I just received them today. When I hauled in two superheavy boxes, I was like, “What did I buy??! I don’t remember buying anything heavy!?” And I got scared, cuz, shopaholic amnesia brain damage. BUT, then I looked at the return address label, and saw that it was my book distributor!

As some of my newer blog readers may have noticed, my book has been difficult to find, or really expensive. This is due to the fact that my book sold out of its print run and will not be re-printed by my publisher, as they are no longer publishing craft books. My plan is to get the rights back to re-print/re-pub it, but that can take some time. I read on my latest royalty statement that my publisher actually had more books back in stock (this happens when stores return books), so I asked if I could buy them all for you guys and put them on Etsy!

So if you’ve been looking for my book in the U.S., here’s your chance to get it! (Sorry for the long rambly story, but I don’t think I ever blogged about it before, and I thought some of you might want to know what the situation was with the book.)

Also, it’s my plan to start writing Book #2 in November after I’m finished with Renegade Craft Fair, so…. hold on tight!
