Monday...a beautiful day!


It's Monday. I don't mind Mondays. It's gorgeous outside today...13 degrees Celsius! Spring is coming!!! And i made a sale this morning. That's number 4 in a month and a half. Yes! My favorite thing about sales is the packaging part. I love it. And i know when they're gonna open that package, they're gonna smile. I like surprising people with a little free gift. My "new" creation is recycled note cards and envelopes. The note cards, made from recycled paper, are hand stamped with an old eraser into which i carved the word "Hi". The envelopes i make from the pages of old books. They're so darn cute!!! And good for this wonderful earth.

Welcome!!!

Hello everyone and welcome to my new blog. I'll be blogging about my wonderful and new etsy shop http://www.goldcottonco.etsy.com/. I opened this shop because of an overload of inspiration which flowed over and...well i had to do something with it, so i started creating. I've been making things ever since i can remember. I love knitting (it calms me), making cards, sewing and photography.

I bought my Nikon D60 lasy July and fell in love with photography! But, i'm sad to say, i haven't taken any photos for a while now. Just a few of my etsy creations! Come spring, i'll be snapping away. I can't wait for spring and summer. My favorite seasons, ahhhhhhhh!

Anyways, back to my shop!!! It features my best creations and only the best. (i'm a perfectionist sometimes haha) I strive to be good at many things. I will work at them until i've got 'em right.
I make these awesome rocks with words on them! Anything you want to preserve...like small stories, famous quotes, baby birth announcements...the possibilities are endless!



I made this (smiles) beautiful rock for my first customer on etsy! It features a small story on a flat sandstone rock. The whole rock is sealed with a waterbased sealer. You can stand it up against something, lie it down or put it in a stand.
I make all shapes and sizes. Each rock is different and unique.
