Hello Everyone. I just listed a new, unused Magnolia Tilda Mounted Rubber Stamp for sale on Ebay.

Tilda is up for sale, so check out her listing here . Cheers, Xo Rachael

Hi All, A lot has been going on in my studio over the past week. I’ve been invited to participate in “Village Night Out”, in which a collection of shops open their doors and there is live music and sales and food, etc. It’s a nice atmosphere and I’ve done VNO before.

Since I didn't want to bore you with these details I didn't take any pictures for today's post. Heartbreaking, I know. ;) I’m planning on making several sets of tags (of which I will be sure to take pictures of) as well and putting on a store-wide sale. So that’s what’s going on! Don’t forget to subscribe to this blog and follow me on FB for special savings and coupons. FB Twitter: Tweet Till next time! Xo

Saturday, however, was somewhat better as far as sales went. I made 6-7 sales and made back my booth fee, however no profit. And it was raining. All. Day. Long. Magnolia SummerFest was O.K., but I have strong reservations about doing that particular fair again because of the lack of organization. I guess it's just th...
