Let's Smile About This, Shall We?!

 (Saddle Leather and Grey Denim Fabric Panel Shoes by ARAMAshoes)

      Okay...lots to share today! Shoes and everything smile-worthy!! ^_^

      Aren't those the cutest shoes?!!...And, frankly, I like those colorful socks they were photographed next to in the header photo too!! ^_^ Although they might be a bit too colorful for formal occasions. :-)

      I'm sharing the shoes because they were one of the things I singled out to show off from this etsy treasury below...

      So many cool items are in there!...including these ankle boots! (below)...

      It was so nice to see one of my necklaces get some love! :-) ... But then...

      ...these earrings (above) ... and my other crochet button ribbon necklace (below) also got picked for a treasury!!! :-) ...

(End of Summer -Etsy Treasury by Spillija)

      It was an 'end of summer' treasury. :-) ... So, see there! There are some nice things that happen on Mondays...besides more crochet time I mean. :-))

      In fact, what could be better than having two of your items picked on the very same day to be in individual etsy treasuries?! ^_^ I'll tell you what!...having 'three' of your items picked on the very same Monday to be shown off in 'three' individual etsy treasuries!!! ^_^ Yes, that's right! THREE!!! :-) My crochet baby blanket...

      ...and this cute teething necklace...

      ...got picked for the etsy treasury below!!...

 (My Favorite Things III - Etsy Treasury by Spillija)

      What a great, nice, surprise too!! :-) All of that etsy gallery love, all in one day! :-)

      You would think that since all of my practice hats are done...*I'm waiting for the customer to let me know what color hat they want me to do in what pattern now*...that I would have time to just sit here and bask in the glow of etsy treasuries, right?!.....Nooooooo! ^_^ Today I've been making flowers again!! ^_^

      One of my customers let me know that he was interesting in four specifically colored boutonnieres. :-) So I'm trying to get them in the shop as soon as possible! :-) This white one, with a black center, was one of the requests...

      Of course, I had to go one step further and make a matching 3-layer brooch for the ladies too! ^_^ ...

      I'll probably do the same with the other three boutonnieres too. Why not! ^_^

      I guess that's all I have to talk about today!...I could talk about some other stuff that's been in the news lately... like people dying and stuff :-( ...but there's all kinds of talk about those things on the news, and I'm sure you're talked OUT about it! So I'll leave this as a smile-worthy zone and leave you with this...

      Have a good rest of the day, Everybody! :-]

Reasons To Smile

I don't really need a reason,
to let out a great big grin;
But I do from time to time,
just to exercise my chin.

Sometimes I do it just to see
what reaction I will get,
in the places where I've gone,
and the people that I've met.

Sometimes it's just for me!
To amuse some silly thought;
Or to show just how excited
I have been at what I bought.

Sometimes a smile can change my mood,
when weather forecasts make me blue;
Or when I see a baby playing!
Oh yes! Oh Yes! I smile then too!

Truth is, I really don't need a reason.
Frowns just,frankly, aren't my style.
I could sit and write about it,
But even that would make me smile.
