I have had fun today making up a new treasury on etsy:


"travel around the world"

I'd like to share some of the items that I found for the new treasury:
Let's Go Somewhere 5x5 Quirky Illustration Print



Custom Handmade Cork Board Map
It all started with another seller adding one of my items to her treasury
"Tale as old as time"

http://www.etsy.com/treasury/ODg5MzAwN3wyMjgyNzQ5Mjc2/tale-as-old-as-time

She featured one of my recycled junk mail bottlecap magnets:

Wouldn't this fabric also make up a fab apron?
Use it to accent an apron made from coordinating solid colors.
You could make the pockets and trim from the World fabric.

Travel Around the World


I need to go get ready to go out for dinner.
A friend of ours is having a fund raiser for her orchestra (she plays flute, one of my favorite instruments). If we eat at a specific restaurant, they will donate a portion of the profits to her orchestra. Her parents invited us out!

Cool.
Good food and good company too.
