Dearest Apron,Ah, yes. When I look at you, I can smell spring. You encapsulate me with a feeling of happiness... Every time I reach out for you, my heart aches because you are simply an image on the computer screen. I long to feel you in real life. Oh how I long to reach my hands, so deeply in your comforting pockets. I would grab you up and tie you on were you here with me.Ah, yes, apron of flowers and spring. I think, nay, I know I am destined to be in love with you forever.

I decided to continue my sale through Saturday. I have added some new items and have more planned for this week. The newest addition is the paperback book cover. I think these would make great teacher appreciation gifts! Not to mention friends and family. Really there are only like 4 more months til Christmas. CRAZY. This year I am going to try my hardest to have all of my shopping done in Oct. I hate hate hate being there during last minute shopping. I do not do well in large crazy mobs of shoppers. I get a little, (A LOT) stressed out by the whole thing. Do any of you have goals set for Christmas shopping? One goal I have is to make most of my gifts this year. I think I can do that for all friends and family.

Here is a list of all the sales for ETC First Monday. I hope you will check them out, there are some great sales going on!

Its time for the ETC first Mondays Sale again! Our team shop is a good place to start. You can find all of the other ETC members shops by clicking on favorites. I am participating by taking 20% off anything purchased during the First Mondays sale. I wanted to have a lot more added before this sale, but with everyone getting sick (food posioning) that has not happened. I will try to add some during the sale though. This sale starts at 12:01 am.

This week starting today and running through Saturday night you can get FREE shipping on anything in my etsy store. I will be adding more items this week so keep checking! Some of the things added this week will include the corset back apron dress. I have sold so many of these before finally opening the etsy shop, so I will get some more made and put them up. They fit a range of sizes. I have some previous buyers sending me pics of the dresses/tops on their little ones and will add them to the blog. FREE SHIPPING!!!

Some ETC street team members are featured in a treasury and when you buy an item you get BOGO 1/2 off!!!!! I am participating in this sale. So click the treasury above and go see all of the shops featured. Instructions are listed in the treasury comments. Have fun!!!
