Wicked Mint on ETSY

Yay! My new Brown Tweed Honeysuckle pillow made it to the front page of Etsy this weekend!



A mega thanks to carolinascreations. I was in Boston all day and wouldn't have known if she hadn't sent me a message and a screen shot!

Shop Update: Love Bird Dish Towels

Fresh off the sewing machine: new dish towels for sale in the shop!



This large, cotton dish/tea towel with a thick weave is ready to lend you a hand in the kitchen.

The print is of four love birds filled with navy/turquoise or magenta/red ink in a flower pattern. Both the pattern and image of the birds were drawn by me.





Towel measurement approximately: 16" x 28"
100% cotton.

Machine wash cold & dryer safe. The towel will become softer and more absorbent after a few uses.

This listing is for one towel.

Fresh off the sewing machine: a chocolate brown, corduroy bag with print of two gold stallions.



Exterior pocket for quick access to lip gloss, iPod, or sunglasses.



Interior pocket with zipper to organize and protect your valuables.

Large interior is big enough to fit books, a pair of shoes, a sweater, or just your wallet, keys and phone.

Interior is lined with magenta brocade fabric.



Straps are sewn from faux leather (animal-free!)

Shop Update: Linen Dish Towels

Fresh off the sewing machine: new dish towels for sale in the shop!



This over-sized linen dish/tea towel is ready to lend you a hand in the kitchen.

A ribbon is sewn into the hem so it can be hung from a hook.



The entire towel is printed with inky-lined plaid pattern in red, navy, periwinkle and cream.

The print reminds me of a house we used to stay in on Cape Cod. The entire bottom floor was red/white & blue and probably hadn't been touched since the 1960's.

Towel measurement approximately: 20" x 30"
100% cotton linen

Machine wash cold & dryer safe. The towel will become softer and more absorbent after a few uses.

Skip the Email Once in a While

My friend Colleen and I had an idea for a greeting card company back in 2004. It never amounted to much, but we did enjoy calling business meetings, making lists, and discussing our future millions over beer at Sweet Ups (I think that explains why the business never took off).

Just as well, there are so many great stationary designers out there:

T-Shirts Available on ETSY

I stocked my Etsy shop with mens/unisex tees - $15. Fresh off the press, get 'em while they're hot.

A Tiny Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite days of the year - a no-stress holiday, lots of delicious food & quality time with the family. Why not celebrate Thanksgiving all year round with a collection of miniature food? (You might have to do this in secret because it's going to look pretty weird to your friends.)

I recently got into creating Treasuries on Etsy, but the problem is that I haven't been able to publish them because the Treasury limit is always maxed out.

I hope to still publish what I have on, but for now I'll just post here on Wicked Mint.

Let Freedom Ring

Thank you to all past and current military servicemen and servicewomen for doing a job I would never want to do. I'll be thinking of you on this Veterans Day.

Front Page of ETSY!

Just heard that the Treasury bluehourdesigns curated a couple weeks ago made it to the front page of ETSY! Her Treasury included my Spring Green Honeysuckle pillow.

Mug Shots

I love coffee mugs. I especially covet vintage Fire King mugs. I'm also very particular about shape. I prefer an oval shape that allows me to tuck my thumb into the handle and wrap my hand around the body of the mug.

(Wow, I'm seriously channeling Andy Rooney today. Let's just roll with it.)

I also don't really like clear glass mugs - it makes me feel weird to use them for hot drinks.

Pedestal mugs are very nice to look at, but I'm afraid they are going to tip over and they aren't as comfortable to hold.

I'm not a big fan of kitschy coffee mugs, such as ones that say "Number 1 Dad" or ones that describe your zodiac sign, but there are exceptions to all rules.

Get a Handle On It

Um, I just went a little nuts and bought a whole bunch of vintage drawer pulls from this fantastic ETSY shop Violetteslippers. Some already have pieces of furniture assigned to them, but others will be saved for future projects.









I owe my impulse purchases to Kate over at For Me, For You.
