great etsy gift idea.

I love etsy. I'm already searching for cool Christmas gifts.

A blog friend, Shelane, just opened an etsy shop selling cool stained glass pendant necklaces. Wouldn't this image be cool for my mom? That's a swing in the old church yard my mom used to play on when she was a little girl. I spent many summers on that swing; and here she is swinging with three of her grandkids. Nostalgic.


Here is part of Shelane's growing library of images, or pick your own.





I think I'll order one for myself with one of these:



because I love laundry. and pyrex.

    Be careful with that pyrex, it'll last FOREVER and sometimes that's not a good thing. :)

    We had that exact pattern.

    I LOVE laundry, too!!!!!! I love it when you get so far behind that not even a full day of complete laundry-doing will catch you up. Love laundry. love it.

    If I were you I would go with the pyrex... but I am not so I will have to see what you decide.

    Darling idea... I will have to visit your friends Etsy spot.

    couple of things ---I loved the MESSY party idea. YOU are brilliant!!!!
    soooooo fun
    I love that photo of your mom and the kids on the swing.
    Leslie and Travis gave me a beautiful pendant necklace for mothers day and on the back had a photo of their 2 kids. It is so neat.
    you and your pyrex love makes me giggle ---I HATE it, but that is cause I lived with it in the 70's.
    love you my dear

    I hope you're kidding about loving laundry. Although I love that image of the laundry-lovin-lady, I was just telling my sister TODAY that when I am a millionaire, the first thing I will gladly give away to the poor minions is the opportunity to do my laundry.

    I love Etsy too, so many wonderful quality choices.

    I hate laundry, I will gladly exchange laundry for any other household task!
