Confession #843
I don't need any more pouches. Seriously, I now buy them for other people just because I like them so much and yet if my husband finds one more.....I'll be cut off for good. So one could imagine that when I saw Bungle Bear Designs had contributed pouches (and key fobs) to the sampler, my heart was all a flutter. I love, love, love all the vintage style fabrics that Bungle uses for her pouches......now I just have to pick which of my pals will be the lucky one this time....er....maybe the hubby won't notice one (or three) more?

Fun Is Always In Style
Sorry for the super late post tonight! One of my favorite Sampler contributors this month is Fun Is Always In Style, whose Little People portraits and class pictures just crack me up. I loved Little People as a kid and even had a special one that I named after myself- it was a little brown-haired one in a green dress I called Green Annie. Here's Fun Is Always In Style's Little People class picture, printed on 8 x 10 glossy photo paper and framed in a reclaimed frame: And I'd love to have Little People Grandma on my desk at work. Grandma's picture is in a 3 x 4 oval frame decorated with ribbon: Fun Is Always In Style contributed 75 Little People greeting cards to the May Sampler. For more information on their products, check out the Fun Is Always In Style Etsy shop. Your Thursday Blogger, Green Annie

Sorry for the late post, but this week has been crazy. For the past few weeks I've been trying to post about Neveroddoreven. I wish I wore jewelry, because they have some cute little baubles with a vintagey feel. neveroddoreven is original handmade jewelry and design. Here you'll find ephemera-inspired necklaces, kitschy rings, fun, fancy earrings and other handmade art pieces. neveroddoreven is just that- always unusual, always unique, never the same. Hope your day was great! Jennifer Angry Chix

Marvelous Monday, Mateys! I don't know where the pseudo-pirate lingo came from, but shiver me timbers! It's Monday! I love Monday's because it's the beginning of a new week - a clean slate, if you will. All your co-workers forgot by now the inappropriate email you mass messaged by mistake Friday afternoon and the kiddies are in school! A cause for celebration, if I do say so myself.

Let's get this party started (I know, traditionally 11:00am Pacific Time is a little early to party, but then why do they have morning cocktails such as the Mimosa, Irish Coffee, and Tequila Sunrise? Hmmm...) with one the things that excites me the most, artistically speaking, that is. Photography!

I absolutely LOVE it when I get a photo print in my Sampler. One of May's Sampler Contributors is Hilary Hitchcock. She kindly contributed 100+ 4 X 6 inch prints of her wonderful photographs!

Hilary's been taking photos for several years. She especially likes documenting things that are rarely seen or are disappearing. "The design sensibility of days gone by tends to make me swoon, as do rural Midwestern landscapes. Thank you for taking the time to look at my work!"

No, thank you, Hilary! You can experience more of Hilary's photography at Hilary Hitchcock Photography.
