A couple of weeks ago, i received a blog award from a very nice person. I meant to blog as soon as possible to pass this award to some wonderful blogs i have discovered over time, but i have been and still am actually so busy, that i find it harder to come here and blog. I miss it though, i love to blog, to spend time reading other blogs. This post will be a bit short as i am short on free time and want to pass this award to others who deserve it even more than i do. I also want to say something about this lady who honored me with this award. I will give you the link to her blog, but she shut it down for some time because she is going through a very difficult period at the moment. It made me really sad to read her email and i wanted to help her feel better, but not knowing how...And then i thought, maybe if everyone of you reading this post could drop by her etsy shop and leave her a little note from there. She may not email you back, but i am sure she will read your thoughts and hopefully this will make her feel a bit better. We all need support through difficult times, so be generous ? Her blog url is purple sunset I am giving you the link even though she shut her blog for the moment. Let's send her lots of positive thoughts and love. She will undoubltedly appreciate your kind words .
Ok, i am going to pass this award to some nice ladies who deserve it, but then i think that many of us deserves one.

1- encore petite
2- beatrice ze blog
3- dinky daisy
4- around the house
5- dove grey
6- ivory blush roses
7- krys kirkpatrick design
8- little black crow studio

My list could go on and on, but i have to stop here as i have to contact everyone of those ladies. And i have so many things i need to finish today. From now until christmas, i will have to be very strict with myself and my tight schedule. It does not imply that i wont be coming back here. I just need to be more organized. I am such a nonchalant and lazy girl. :)
Do not forget to leave a sweet note to purple sunset through her etsy.

Have a lovely day everyone ♥

Oh, i forgot ! For those of you who received the award, you are free pass this award to your favorites and let people know who gave you the award. thanks so much ♥

Finnigan's Market

Everyday saturday is Finnigan's market for the quaint little town of Hudson, QC. Many vendors gather there each week end to sell their products, from baked goods, to dried flowers, antiques and crafts. And once or twice each year, i love to go and sell my dolls and handmade sweets. Yesterday was particularly cold. I woke up early to find a hard frost covering the ground and thought it wise to wear my winter boots and coat. I also brought a thick wooll blanket to wrap myself when i get some free time to sit down a bit. The sun, a bit shy i must say, managed to warm us during the afternoon. Nevertheless, the crisp autumn air made me feel good and i was happy to spend some time outdoors, admiring the beauty of the surroundings. The trees are still spectacular, but soon the remaining of the leaves will sadly fall to the ground. We must really make the most of what is left of this beautiful season, the snow may start covering the ground anytime. Here in Quebec, we never know when winter will surprise us. One christmas, i could sit outside wearing only a light sweater, there was no snow and the grass was still green. But i admit that was very unusual.



My day at the market was really fun and i met some very wonderful and friendly people, venders and buyers. It is a good place to make sales , but also to promote my shop and my coming christmas show. I handed out many business cards, hoping that some of those who seemed pleased by my crafts, will come at my show in december. From the moment my summer vacation were over, i practically locked myself inside my sewing room, making muffinpies, cute little pouches and halloween stuff. One of my favorite was Romilda the witch and she was adopted very quickly. I felt a bit sad to part with her, but then i can always make another one for me...If i ever find the time. Having time, i wonder if i know what this really means. ( smiles ) Starting this week, i must work double shift making christmas stuff for my show, i have 8 muffinpies to finish for a sweet lady in Louisiana ( a true fan of my muffinpies i should say! ) and i must take care of my shop as well. All that and the house chores, shopping for chritsmas, cooking for christmas. Boy, when will i have the time to shop for clothes or even to have haircut ! My wardrobe is in a poor critical state as for my hair.... well...I can find no words...Ok, i promised to find some time and go for my hair soon. In the meantime, before i end this conversation with you, i urge you to pay a little visit to pepperberry and Co.
she is having a very fun giveaway. ok for now, i must go do some cooking, my daughter Maude is coming over for supper.
Until next time my friends, i hope you are all having a very lovely week end ♥

50 sales !

I finally reached my 50th sale today ! I know, this is no big deal, considering that many etsians have made hundreds, even thousands of sales. But no longer than a few months ago, i was hardly selling anything and i was even thinking of closing my shop . I am more confident now. It is a slow progress, but with determination, hard work and imagination, i beleive it will get even better. What do you think ? I need to mention here that i have been honored by a sweet lady with the one lovely blog award. I want to express to you, dear friend, my gratefulness and happiness for choosing me. As soon as i have a moment, i will pass this award to some wonderful ladies who deserves to be discovered. I am working double shift at the moment. As a matter of fact, autumn is always a crazy period for me. This week end, i will attend a craft market and i will bring some of my etsy listings and halloween goodies i made especially for the market. i promise to take pictures and show you later next week. And starting next week, i will start making christmas goodies to list in my shop, but must make a lot as i will be having a christmas show in december. I will tell you more about this later on in another post. It is getting late and i am starting to have droopy eyes.
Have a nightie night full of sweet dreams ♥
