Kansas Artists

Blech more snow.  We all have cabin fever, I can not wait until spring so we can go to the playground, ride bikes, and just be outside.  We enjoy taking day trips & I would love to go to the Salt Museum in Hutchinson. I live in Kansas y'all, gotta work with what we got!  Today I will be featuring fellow Kansas etsy artists.  **If you don't mind clicking the socialvibe link to the right, it's free & donates $ to suicide prevention.  Thanks**

Etsy allows you to shop local, simply type your town or state in the box.  Don't forget to visit my shop, Facebook page (leave etsy shop link in discussion), & learn something new: An apple, onion, and potato all have the same taste. The differences in flavor are caused by their smell. To prove this - pinch your nose and take a bite from each. They will all taste sweet.  Tomorrow let's do vintage toys.  I'm worried about running out of categories, so feel free to leave suggestions as to what to cover next, as well as your blog addy if you want.

Are You Ready for some Football?!

Yesterday I never got around to doing a blog post (bad mammamyst!) but had a great day with my mom, grandpa & my two boys.  We ate at a Mexican restaurant, went to Wal*Mart (where I found my 4 year old a "next year" coat for five bucks!)  And if I remember correctly, today is a very special day in the sports world....nah I must be confused.  My boys are ready for the "football stadium party" at grandma's house though!

Meanwhile, back at etsy, a treasure trove of vintage items is awaiting us.  Since vintage will net thousands of results, let's focus on one category....*thinking*...heck let's do football related.  AntiqueAli has a cute rah-rah football pin, hoppersbazaar has a rah cubed (that's three folks, the one thing I remember from algebra!) pin.  VintageVamp has an old Steelers coloring book & cellarsellardweller has a lot of '60s Steelers collector cards.  LJKsupplies has a Packers jacket for kids & worldwideoddities has a Packers necklace charm. 

For those who tolerate football out of love, pattiesprimitives has this whimsical sign.  Inkwear99 lets you shout to the world who you support.  This next one, NSFW & not safe for children.  Adult humor apron from leapinchubb.  For me, this day whos name I forget, is good for 3 things: time with family, great food, & hilarious commercials.

As always, check out my shop, like my Facebook page & learn something new today.  Something like in 1958, Thomas Watson (chairman of IBM) forecast a world market for 5 computers.  Huh, reminds me of one of my FB friends posting a video from (they said) 1994, culled from Youtube, where the Today show anchors were asking what the Internet was.

Tomorrow... let's do funny stuff.  Try to brighten up Monday
