Promoting friends' work.

Dear Dawn from the States had sent me this great book some time ago. It is The Sea Glass Rush by anotherof my sea glass friends Bev Jacquemet. You can find Bev at her facebook page if you would like to order the book..

I took my copy of this great book of sea glass photographed by Bev herself to the beach with me at Easter. Here are a couple of photos!

Spot the Old Saybrook cap, that's from Marabeth of course! Thank you ladies!

And here's something else. I had won this T-shirt at a giveaway of the Greek magazine Etsi Apla.It is handpainted by Elia Creations. It is gorgeous!

Thank you Elia!I am wearing it all the time!

Showing friends' work

I have lots of friends around the world who are very creative. They make various things which I consider art.
At times and when my financial situation allows it I buy their work.
Here is a post about those people and their work.
So when Paula of otchipotchi introduced her new line of Christmas porcelain ornaments I bought a set. They are lovely and very affordable. I will also show a pic when I put them on my tree. You can buy them here.

 Also Sonia from Cozymemories introduced a new line of cardholders, lovely for little gifts and stocking fillers.You can find them here.

 Another person I really admire Margie from Resurrection Fern blog makes these lovely crocheted stones and takes photos of them. Here is my wall paper for December. Yes I know it is a bit summery but I prefer it that way.It reminds me of the sun and the sea and that's good for my mood and for the very rainy and cold weather we are having now.

Another sea glass friend Bev, just made a sea glass book. I haven't bought it yet but many sea glass friends have and they say it is very good. So you can find it here.

I recently bought something from etsy from a seller I didn't know but they were very good so here is what I bought at a very good price from The Realm Collectibles.

Well and because as the Greek saying has it..."If you don't praise your house, it will fall on you!" I have to say a little bit about my etsy shop thalasseaglass. I am having a 20% discount on all items till December 21st.
Use coupon code XMAS2012.

I am hoping to add more items during the holidays.
