Ok, on to this weeks Thursday's Three... it is all about my family! I want to support their little businesses any way I can. Here we go...

Thursday's Three: Family

1) Spittin Toad: My cousin, Denise, runs this fun little shop. It's full of her unique creations and I just love it. She has always encouraged me to be creative. I know that a lot of what I create today probably stems from the time I spent being crafty with her while growing up. She recently donated an item for a giveaway on my blog. (Athena Workman won!). Please check out her blog and her shop. Feel free to buy stuff too. :D

2) Pepper and Farley: This is my Mom's Etsy shop. She makes some very lovely nice quality purses, pouches, pendants, and a few other creations. In addition to her Etsy shop she also has a quilting business. This doesn't mean she'll MAKE the quilts for you... she let's you do that part. She owns a GIANT quilting machine and freehands the stitching on your quilts for you with this machine. She's very good and her pricing is great! She accepts quilts from any state (you pay for the shipping). If you are interested in getting your lovely quilt quilted before the holidays, hurry and contact her! Her time fills up quick! You can contact her through sending a conversation in her Etsy shop.

Here I am laying on a quilt made by Janis (my mom). If you go to a larger photo you can see all the detailed stitching. :)

3) Cositas Bellas:  This is my VERY good friend Roxana's shop. Ok, so we're not technically family, but we've been friends for about 10 million years now and we know WAY too much about eachother. ;) I love her like she was family, so please show her shop and blog some love. She is extremely talented and very pregnant. :D

I hope you do visit them and enjoy their shops!!! I do!

This weeks Thursday's Three is inspired by a shopping list I found in my purse... it looks a lot different than my pre-baby shopping list:

- Diapers
- Butter
- Chicken
- Sugar
- Diaper Butt Cream
- Beer
- Milk Storage Bags

- Lanolin

On to my Thursday's Three...

1) These bags are perfect! I hate using plastic bags at the grocery store. This would help solve my problem! So perfect! Mesh produce bags.... Just throw them in the wash!

A Day in the life of Chelsey!

Sooooo, I had a Chelsey day! I did some shopping, I drank some tea, and did some crafts. Good day!

I think I may be addicted to tea. I LOVE the Trader Joes green tea. Also, when I'm in town I love Portland's local company Peet's Coffee. They have great Earl Grey tea. I love my C cup.AND, I bought some cute items today.Okay, I totally had to fix these earrings after I bought them! They had loops on BOTH ends! I know they were cheap but really? It took me a minute to figure them out. I couldn't figure out how I was supposed to put them on. Luckily I knew how to fix them! Now I love them.
THEN, I found some cute new shoes that were majorly on sale! How could I pass them up? By the way, my neighbors must think I'm crazy. Here I am trying to get the best light for the photo and putting my foot up on the entrance table to our house. Right in front of our house. I know they've seen me taking photos with my paper Queen crowns on too.
I've been working on my new shop a LOT! Here's another item that will be in my little paper home shop. I LOVE these! They are repurposed tea cups that I have turned into birdfeeders or planters. I will have them up in my shop tomorrow! I may keep this one though. I really love it!
They would also be perfect for a little herb plant! Hang them in your kitchen! I know I'm going to do that!So please! Check out my new shop tomorrow. I hope to have them up around 4 pm Pacific time. Each one is unique! So, if you see one you like grab it before its gone!

Don't forget to vote where my girlfriends and I should go for our 30th birthdays in 4 years! We want to know what you think!
