Because I've joined a blogging challenge for October, I will be doing what I can (internet connection willing) to post every day, even on the weekends. To those who don't know, normally, I like to spend time with the fam and crafts on the weekends but sharing is important too. And I do love to share. The posts won't be long-winded. I know I can get chatty sometimes. Hee-hee.

I'm starting to list pillow covers for Christmas and wanted to share the first one listed this morning.

Christmas Star

Isn't this photo pretty? I've got cards coming soon with the same print. Watch for those.

Please be aware, each item from my photo prints goes to a lab for printing and processing. I have them sent back to me for inspection and ship them off to you. This takes time. I estimate 2-3 weeks but normally it takes about 2 weeks, I am learning. It still means you have to plan ahead a little when ordering. I've noticed some folks don't take the time to do this (I've been guilty of it myself on occasion) but reading over the policies on each description provided in a tab within the listing is a great way to find out important information. Take the time to read it, please, before ordering anything in my shop not just photo printed items to familiarize yourself with them. Thanks!

What a pleasant surprise to see Deb Babcock from BlueSkyPotteryCO, my featured shop from last week, pay it forward in adding my most popular pillow cover to date into a treasury she curated called "Morning OJ". How cool is that?!

I'm excited to share my Featured Shop for the week! It's been 6 months since I've done one. Wow!

Picking the first Featured Shop since March this year, was not a problem. BlueSkyPotteryColorado is a great shop to kick off this weekly event.

Deb Babcock, the hands behind the pottery, is one of my favorite shops on Etsy and Zibbet. Her work has been featured in a few publications, most notably Better Homes and Gardens in March 2013. You can also find her art in several galleries and gift shops around the country and there's no wonder why. Her pottery is whimsical, earthy and user friendly.

Deb's pottery has that wonderful quality that caught my eye of handmade-from-the-soul-peacefulness about it. I love art that speaks to my hippie soul. I love art even more if it can be useful for the home.

BlueSkyPotteryCO has home/garden decor, ceramic cups and tumblers, bowls big and small, serving/baking dishes available for purchase. Take a look at some of my favorites below. Click on any link under the photos to take you to Deb's shop on Etsy.

On a personal note, my computer finally took it's last spin around the social media scene last evening. I may have a slower reaction time to checking email, writing posts here and all the rest, but I'll do what I can. If you'd like to help with the fund raiser, which I've decided to leave up even though I've announced many times I was going to close it, you can read about it, donate, share the link from here: http://www.gofundme.com/49qepk

Thank you and sorry to take the limelight, so well deserved, from Deb!
