Furry Companions

In memory of my Loki who passed recently, I dedicate this posting to him.  

He came home with me when he was just a tiny thing, 

the runt of the litter but was very feisty and playful.  

My daughters named him Loki after the Norse god of Mischief 

which fit him to a "T".

Loki lived a long life (13 years), my loving companion, was such a chatty guy, 

always talking to me, and begging for food!

Here are a few items from CraftCafe, 

for those who love their "Furry Companions".

End of Summer...

It's mid-August and summer is almost gone!  What does end of summer mean to you?  

For me, it used to mean the end of staying inside where the A/C kept me comfy instead of being hot, humid and sticky, eating ice cream, or being at one of the fabulous beaches in NC!

Now, it means looking forward to cooler weather, enjoying the smells of fall weather (including the aroma of delicious NC State Fair food!) and the energetic atmosphere of art and craft festivals!

To get into the spirit of promoting for upcoming festivals, I'm starting a weekly blitz for promotions of fellow artists and crafters on CraftCafe.co where I now have 3 active shops (OOAK Jewelry, Affordable Everyday Jewelry, and Fabric Stash).

This first installment is around the theme "End of Summer".  I've asked several artists / crafters to recommend an item of another artist or crafter that reflects this theme.

Please be sure to stop by each shop, browse, and spread some CraftCafe Love!
