Ode to SimplySparkles

Hold it I feel a poem coming on ....

Today, I hit a new low.
A diaper let go of the flow.

On the road with a dipe M.I.A.,
Paper towels had to save the day.

And though I felt like a mess,
to see me no one would guess.

For my SimplySparkles earrings are so divine,
I LOOK like I have it together just fine.


As I mentioned in my post, Ode to Aqua Poppy Designs, I often feel
poetic when I feel intense joy and gratitude. Today my muse is SimplySparkles, a jewelry site on Esty for two reasons:
  1. It provided me fabulous new earrings that have given the illusion I have my act together. (The compliments I received on a recent visit to school when I was groomed and wearing clothes -- not sweats, made me realize I needed to step it up a notch when it came to my appearance.)

  2. It introduced me to Esty, this online marketplace of handmade goods. It is awesome! It has so many unique and personal items. Decorations, invitations, party favors, keepsakes -- I'm out of breath! And so reasonable -- I've seen similar things in cutesy boutiques for twice the price.

While on browsing Esty, I found a kindred spirit at Oh Sew Sweet Creations. There was a stuffed letter birthday banner that I had to have and in the description it says "Every Special Day deserves a little whimsy!" RIGHT ON! Although, I might just part with it for my first giveaway which will be revealed next week. (Wait for it...)

Now, my fabulous earrings and I are going to go fold some laundry.

  1. BLUSHING! You really did write that poem didn't you :) I'm glad the earrings added some "glitz" to the mess. I am SO with you on the "need to step it up" thing. I look like a train wreck 99.9% of the time, so much so that I get "wow, you're glamming it up" when I put on lip gloss and eyeliner. Sorry I'm a day late getting to this...I had a homework assignment to tend to, but I'm honored and I'm glad you are enjoying Etsy!
