Uniquely different OOAK for Christmas

I love OOAK items and I found a bunch of them on Etsy to share with you in a treasury.  Aren't they all beautiful??? 




Who gives a hoot???

Well, I do!!!  As you can see from the photo's below.  I love owls.  Lots of folks seem to like owls.  So this year I made a few little owl ornaments that also can be used in many other ways such as using it as a key chain, turn it into a little pocket pet, put a safety pin on the back if you want to wear it as a brooch, use it on top of a present for somebody special, hang it on the mirror in your car, and a perfect stocking stuffer or whatever else you would like to do with these little guys.  They are up for grabs in my shop and I will have them at the Christmas Market in The Plains, Virginia this coming Sunday.  I sold some last Sunday so don't wait too long to purchase the one you like as I can't promise you it will stick around very long.  They are all a little bit different and since I make them from fulled wool sweaters when that fabric is used up that's it.   So hurry on over to the   http://www.etsy.com/shop/MauveMoose    and get yourself a cute little owl!

Chocolate mirage?

Who doesn't like chocolate???  I'm sure there are some people that don't care for chocolate ... must say I haven't met too many of them.  Funny thing about chocolate ... I was born and raised in Belgium and moved to the US when I was 18.  When my parents used to come and visit me I always asked them to bring me back Belgium chocolate.  Usually the Cote d'or brand, my favorites are the ones filled with banana cream or the coconut filled bars.  Yummmm.  Back then you couldn't find these in the Bay Area where I used to live.  Now the grocery store where I work carries them so no need to have them shipped from Belgium anymore.  The funny thing is that when I went back to Belgium to visit my family they (usually my dad and my brother) asked me to bring back Hershey's chocolate, they thought that was the cat's miauw!  Everybody thought they were nuts bringing chocolate into the country that's famous for it's own chocolates????  But, they like it.  Just like my dad always liked the Miller Light when he came to visit even though Belgium has sooooooo many breweries and great beer!  Kinda silly isn't it.  Anyway, I was craving chocolate today so I couldn't resist making this treasury.  Enjoy the chocolate!
