Back To Life, Back To Reality & A Shop Update.

Hi all!  I trust that your holiday was lovely??

Ours was great!  We took a luxurious two weeks off to just hang out at home and have a staycation.  We usually travel at some point during the holidays, so it was nice to get to just relax here and not have to worry about traffic or weather or anything like that.  One of our favorite things to do when we snag ourselves a staycation (next to cooking) is catching up on shows or movies we've been wanting to watch.  Sounds boring, I know, but to me, there's nothing better than holiday left overs to rely on for simple reheats, a glass of wine, and a marathon of our newest favorite.  This time it was Breaking Bad- we're finally caught up, and man, what an exciting show!

Come this past Monday, I was slapped in the face with the reality that our house is a disaster.  I'd been neglecting errands & housework, so took two days to get caught up there.  I'm finally feeling like my head is above water again, so it's back to work for me.

I started photographing and listing all of the items left over from my holiday show which is actually quite a lot since what I sold there was mostly deeply discounted older inventory.  I'll be working on this a little each day most likely through next week, but you can peek at some of my new items here:

Organize It Kits
I've added a section of Organize It Kits, my combo pack of coordinated items to organize your purse including a coin purse, a tissue case, and a keychain.  Some even have a free gift- one of my knit heart brooches.

Organize It Kit in Avocado & Spots

Organize It Kit in Hot Pink & Zebra Print

Keychain Sets
 I've also added a section of keychain sets.  I'm selling them in sets of 3 since shipping & selling separately won't be economical enough for me.  I may chance my mind on this: we'll see what kind of feedback I get.

Your time off together sounds very nice! I bet it was really hard for M to go back to work! :) Good luck with your new products!

great coordinated kits. And I love the size of the keychains - they won't get lost in a purse! {:-D

The Organize-It kits are such a good idea!! I'll have to get one that matches the checkbook wallet I just ordered.

House-cleaning! Ugh.
The heart freebie is a sweet idea :)

We did the exact same thing for 2 weeks as well and it was pure bliss!! I can hardly imagine that the first work week of 2013 is almost over already (thank goodness though)!
I am off to check out all those goodies you are adding to the shop!

Honestly, we did a lot of the same thing after we got back from our three-day holiday extravaganza. We're total homebodies anyway, so having a few days off to just veg was really nice. Isn't Breaking Bad awesome? I can't believe they're making us wait until summer for new episodes. Good luck getting your new items rolling! I think the organization kits are really smart.

So glad you had a wonderful, restful holiday! Sounds great to me!! Love the new items - so cheerful!!

We always have staycation now, but it's just business as usual since we have the kids and they don't know the difference! I hope you had a wonderful holiday and that everyone loved your handmade gifts! Sorry about your show- most of mine were like that, too, so I'm definitely going to be revisiting that idea to determine whether it's worth it!

Welcome back! Staycations are my favorite. It's so nice to have relaxing time at home.

I love your purse set with the polka dot fabrics! It's matchy but not matchy matchy, if that makes any kind of sense :). The colors are fantastic!

I keep meaning to watch that Breaking Bad series. Everyone I know that watches it, just raves about it! I love you purse organizer sets....very cute! Love the pink zebra one!

I don't know if we could pull off a staycation. I'm glad yours was relaxing and fun.
great new items!
