Not letting go of summer, not yet...

It's late summer and maybe you aren't ready to let go into autumn yet.  I'm not especially ready, myself.  Even when it's mid-January, you need reminders of summer in the house:

The bright green of the grass shows up in vintage enameled cups:

The garden produce looks out at you from vintage 1920's seed packets:

Sunflowers nod at you from a vintage souvenir cup and saucer set:

And the fairy of wheat harvest is baking bread!

Declaration of Independence

Several books in my shop have declared independence from the tyranny of shipping costs if they are mailed to U.S. destinations.  Search for "free shipping" under my shop and you'll get a listing of all of the little freedom-fighters.


Sarah Palin, when asked about these brave little books, said:

"They who warned uh, wonderdiva that she wasn't gonna be takin' away their right to a new home, uh by ringing those bells, and um, makin' sure as they are riding their horse through Etsy to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be sure and we were going to be free from shipping fees, and we were going to be mailed."
