Busy... Busy... Busy...

It's been a very busy couple of days... Exciting... But busy... When I started selling my jewellery on Etsy back in early June, I could never have dreamed how quickly it would grow... I'm sending off two more wholesale orders today with a few others in the works... So that's it for my post... While little B is sleeping quietly, I must work!

Stay tuned... I'm hoping to make some wonderful new items this weekend... Lord willing!

Have a great weekend friends!

Etsy Feature: "Urban Basement"

I just adore the work of Kate, from Ottawa, that she sells in her lovely shop, "Urban Basement"... I could stare at her photographs for hours... And being that fall is almost here, I revel in the fact that they remind me of my favourite season, spring! You can purchase her stunning photos as prints, postcards & notecards.

Be Still My Soul...

"Be still and know that I am God..."

Psalm 46:10

The Lord has been continually bringing these words to my mind over the past few days... Life has been exceptionally busy... With little B to take care of, a house to clean, meals to make, and orders to fill, I've been struggling to find the time to "be still" and think about my God... That is my prayer today... That I will have the strength, through God's grace, to "be still and know that [He] is God"...

"Be still, my soul: begin the song of praise

On earth, believing, to Thy Lord on high;

Acknowledge Him in all thy words and ways,

So shall He view thee with a well pleased eye.

Be still, my soul: the Sun of life divine

Through passing clouds shall but more brightly shine."

Katharina von Schlegel, 1752

Etsy Feature: "Dear Sukie"

I absolutely adore the shop of Kristy from Toronto, "Dear Sukie"... She creates vinyl covered wallets, mini wallets, wallet clutches and card holders...

Just mention how you found out about her in the "Message to Seller" and she'll give you 10% off of her regular prices!

Up at Britain Lake...
