Dear Readers,

We had a rainy, cold weekend. What is your favorite things to do in a bad days summertime?

One of my favorite thing dreaming about traveling, looking for nice destinations.
Anita's photographics gives you  some inspiration:

 I love reading about natural stones and crystals, like Howlite.

"In folklore, Howlite was a lovely stone used when needing to reduce anxiety, tensions and stress. Howlite was used to facilitate awareness, encourage emotional expression and assist in the elimination of pain, stress and/or rage. Howlite is a lovely stone and it's veins are similar to turquoise stone hence it is often dyed to simulate turquoise. It's natural colour is white."
 

You find more beautiful stone jewelry at Sally's shop.

I know it's not so popular,  however cleaning your house in a bad weather is not so horrible:) A little help from Amy , a cleaning pad in a blue color (these are my favorite).

"You can use them:

to clean pots & pans
to wash dishes
to wash counter tops
to clean the bathtub or shower
to wash your face or body
and many other uses..."

 and look the clever way you can use it:

After your house is clean, it's time to think warmer days, party on the beach.... you can be a princess with these crowns

Tomorrow will be a warm and sunny day, I have to go. See you next time!

Hi, my name is Ildi. I really enjoy the process of making pottery: I sit down at a table with clay and try to make something that I have an imagination of. I want something and the clay wants something but in the end I can work until I am most satisfied with the outcome.     Ceraminic on Etsy

July Shop Of The Day Part 1

PRESENTED TO YOU BY OUR CAPTAIN  :

Hi I'm Amy. In my shop I offer a variety of crocheted items and occasionally I list vintage crochet & knitting pattern books. I enjoy working on custom orders. My customers often come up with the best creative ideas; and sometimes offer me the challenge of creating something I've never done before. It’s always satisfying to take a piece of yarn and create something new from it.
