Things at Inspiration Cottage are very busy. We have wonderful new ribbons that I need to get pictures of and get listed. Our new ribbons are wonderful fall ribbons!! I know what your thinking (at least some of you) fall already. Summer is a great time to get started on your fall and Holiday inventory, that's why we like to get it out there and available to you. The custom designers we purchase from are really on top of their game this year and made things available to us early. We also will be adding Russian birdcage veiling, shabby rose trims, resins, chevron ribbons, neon ribbons, and much more! Stop by often to see our new inventory!!<br />

A bunch of new ribbons have arrived and I have been working at listing them to the shop. We have got a new group of glamour ribbons for the girls... hearts, ponytails, zebra stripes.... These are wonderful ribbons. I love the new moonstitch zebra ribbon, the stitching on the edges is actually hand sewed. I loved it so much I have already ordered it in some new colors.

Do you recall gathering for pictures after that wonderful Easter meal? I do! All the cousins gathering together on Grandma's lawn, we were all decked out in our pretty dresses, hats, gloves and the boys in their suit and tie. There were nine of us together on Grandma lawn in front of her garden. What wonderful times we had!!! Times have changed so much but you can still recapture the times gone buy. <br />
<br />
At my shop on Etsy, InspirationCottage, we have lots of pretty things for you to create that pretty hat you once wore. Some of our new products are Ostrich Feather Puffs and new colors of Marabou Puffs. We have a wonderful line of ribbon and flowers to choose from and even pretty iridescent leaves! You may not want to wear an Easter Bonnet now but I think it would make a lovely centerpiece on a side table or hung on a coat hook by the door. Put one on the end of your dresser and let it bring a flood of members from the past.<br />
<br />
This slideshow is a sampling of some of our products. We hope you enjoy! Leave us a comment and let us know if you like what you see or if you're looking for something in particular. We are always on the lookout for new items to carry. <a href="http://www.inspirationcottage.etsy.com/">http://www.inspirationcottage.etsy.com/</a><br />

<br />
Luke 2<br />
<br />
1And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. <br />
2(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) <br />
3And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. <br />
4And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) <br />
5To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. <br />
6And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. <br />
7And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. <br />
8And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. <br />
9And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. <br />
10And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. <br />
11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. <br />
12And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. <br />
13And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, <br />
14Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. <br />
15And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. <br />
16And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. <br />
17And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. <br />
18And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. <br />
19But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. <br />
20And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.Pamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11201583928708858790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6565286126836245032.post-49063091992100065312009-11-28T17:14:00.001-05:002009-11-28T17:16:39.032-05:00It's Beginning To Look Alot Like Christmas<div><embed flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=3530822107896151106&site=widget-42.slide.com" name="flashticker" quality="high" salign="l" scale="noscale" src="http://widget-42.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" style="height: 320px; width: 400px;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"></embed><br />

The sunshine is shining brightly on the leaves that are quickly starting to change. It is so pretty! I thought this morning I would post another vintage image for you to enjoy. These images are wonderful for making cards or invitations but, I also like to use them with t-shirt transfers and put them on fabric to make ornaments or favors. For Thanksgiving I ironed the images on little muslin bags and filled them with candies for favors. Everyone enjoyed them, even the men, because they brought back members of time past. I would love to hear or see what you plan to do with the images I post!<br />

I just love this gourd vase with the beautiful mums!<br />
It would be a welcome sight to your kitchen table or desk.<br />
Mums give your yard a splendid autumn touch but, don't <br />
forget to decorate your home inside as well. Enjoy the wonders<br />
of autumn! Remember it's only here for a short time!<br />

The cool crisp air and the changing of the leaves seems to give energy to me. I have always wished autumn would last much longer than it does. Yet, if it did, I don't think the splendor of it all would be appreciated as much. I think of all the wonderous colors we enjoy and just praise my heavenly Father for them all. God, the most magnificent artist of all!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> Don't let the time slip by without you enjoying the colors and the sound of rustling leaves. Enjoy the leaves as they swirl in the autumn breeze. Celebrate the autumn nights around a fire with some warm apple cider and the ones you love! Tis a cozy time of year!<br />

Post a comment and link your shop.<br /><br />ALL ETSY SHOPS - HANDMADE, SUPPLIES AND VINTAGE - are invited to participate by placing an announcement in your shop and joining in with promoting on the "Official" Promotional thread in the Etsy Forums. This will be a “Shopping Event” similar to a Public Marketplace. There will not be a "Overall theme" since Etsy is a Global Marketplace hence, the seasons, cultures, holidays, etc. can vary quite a bit. Although not required, we do strongly encourage shops to have a feature, theme or sale as this can pique interest and help you to draw people to your shop. You do not have to participate for the whole weekend simply join in when you can on the Promo thread in the Etsy Forums. You can search for the official thread - “AUGUST WEEKEND SHOPPING EXTRAVAGANZA 8/1-8/2”.<br /><br />Here is the Promo thread in the Etsy Forums: Will be posted once the Extravaganza has started! The only requirement is that you have a shop on Etsy and help promote by joining in and bumping the thread throughout the weekend. Talk about your shop and what you have to offer our shoppers. Those of you who blog or twitter can post and/or tweet about it and promote to people that are off Etsy to visit us. It will provide the Etsy community with publicity, making our shops more visible, and hopefully creating a monthly event shoppers will look forward to.

If you're like me every year right? Well, now is the time. Plan out your holiday projects, collect your supplies and start creating. I think we loose the enjoyment in our crafting when we wait till the last minute.<br /><br />Crafting for me is a big stress reliever. Instead of worrying about the things I can't do anything about I do something that makes me happy. Don't you love the feeling you get after finishing your project? <br /><br />Here is two vintage images for you to use in your Christmas crafting projects. Let me know if you enjoy the free images so I know whether or not to post more!Pamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11201583928708858790noreply@blogger.com1
