Glitter Lollipops & Whimiscal Cupcakes

Hello friends!

I wanted to share with all of you some fun news! I am so happy to announce I have officially opened up a new shop on ArtFire! Of course I will always keep my Pinks & Needles shop on Etsy but I was too excited not to share the exciting news! My new shop frosted window on ArtFire is dedicated to Year Round Holiday shopping.

        Lollipop Ornaments in Progress - still need to add ribbon and a laminated tag that reads "Sweet!" to each pop!

I'm having this image made into glossy postcards and it will read "Happy Birthday!" down at the bottom in Pinks & Needles font!

 I'm thinking I would like to keep my pin toppers in their proper Pinks & Needles place but frosted window will offer an array of handmade items like all different styles of  faux dough cupcake & lollipop ornaments, felted cotton candy necklaces, postcards of my photography, prints of my original paintings & drawings ~ and gifts in general. I would love it if you popped on by to have a look when you get a chance!I should mention too that I will be listing 20 new pins in Pinks & Needles tomorrow morning (Thursday July 29th) ~ many of them brand new designs and some Halloween related!
I'm leaving for a wedding this Friday in Santa Barbara which I am thrilled about! it will be so nice to get out of the desert heat and into the refreshing ocean breeze!
Have a wonderful rest of your week everyone!

Hugs,
Gigi

Launching New Etsy Shop "Frosted Window" in July!

 Hello friends!
Wow what an incredibly busy month for me! After getting home from our 6th anniversary (spent at the Summer Bay Resort in Vegas off the strip)...I have been playing mad catch up with everything and everyone. We've already been cursed with 111 degree days which makes working with clay and nightmare so on those days I piddle around the garden and nap......I know it sounds like I'm a real slacker but for some reason I can't sleep at night when it's super hot like that! I have become nocturnal for the most part : )
Last July I wanted to open up another Etsy shop Frosted Window but it never quite got off the ground so with careful consideration I have made it a priority to get it up and running this July! Why July? Well for one thing I have always loved the idea of Christmas in July! If it were up to me I would have 12 Decembers in a row just so I could bake and make all year long!
I will be dedicating Frosted Window to everything Holiday related so I hope to see you all there soon!
In Pinks & Needles news things are changing for me somewhat in the next few days. I'm going to be making very limited amounts of pin toppers starting July 1st through the end of the year. The reason being, I will be dedicating my time to Pin Topper of the Month Club (PTMC), and working on getting the new shop stocked for the upcoming holidays! Plus I will be working on some really fun projects that I hope to share with all of you soon! It is my goal to have around 20 NEW pins listed in the shop by the first of every month! So once they're gone......they're gone : )
I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Hugs,
Gigi
