Happy Birthday Little Bird!!

this little bird turns 1 today!  I know it's customary to call it an "anniversary" for a shop, but this "shop" is such a piece of me that I feel it's a birthday!  And.... on my birthday, I'm giving you presents!  Starting today through next Thursday, 11/11, I will be giving you a handmade treasure with each purchase from my Etsy shop.  It's going to look something like this:

Felt bird ornament

These felt bird ornaments are my gift to you to say thank you for a year of support and encouragement.  They will be available for purchase beginning 11/15, but for now they are my special gift.  Color combinations will vary but each one will be made with love!

I really can't believe an entire year has gone by and that I'm still at it.  This started almost on a whim as a means of selling the items I was going to sew anyway, because sewing is my therapy, my sanity, me.  It's amazing to think that people out there like what I make so much they want to pay me to have it.  Just crazy, but fantastic.  As I start this new year of adventures, I promise to continue bringing products made with love, care, and quality at a reasonable price.  I promise to continue blogging my adventures and hopefully reaching others and making more friends.

Thanks again to friends, family, customers, complete strangers, and blogging friends!
Cheers,
this little bird

Spooky Scenes and Birthday Plans

Something pretty sweet happened today.  A seller on Etsy featured my pumpkins on her blog and sent me a little note.  It totally made my day (and can I mention she's in England!).  Cris from Koalita Craft and Me did up this amazing collection of pumpkins in honor of her little pumpkin's birthday!!!  Check out her full blog post here.

The cuteness is almost overwhelming and the fact that Cris has a koala in her logo makes it an instant favorite.

Speaking of birthdays.... I don't believe it but a week from today This Little Bird will turn 1!!!  I can't believe it's been an entire year almost.  Leaving aside reflections of how this means I'm a year older too, I am so thankful for all that this year long journey has brought me.  I've met amazing friends on Etsy, in the blog world, fabulous customers and more.  How one girl could be so lucky I don't know! 

I'm thinking of having a sale, yes a SALE in honor of the big day.  I will suss it out over the weekend and let you all know what I'm up to on Monday.

For now, I hope you are enjoying fall.  Cheers,
this little bird
