Good morning team!

Another wild day out there today, we should be getting a bit of everything, sun, rain, sleet, wind. The saying goes: if you don't like the weather in Britain, just wait for a few minutes :)

The plan today is to go with my neighbour to the opposite side of the county in the North, about one and half hour drive away, to the Wool Clip, a cooperative set up and run in a mill by farmers wives where well... everything they sell is local wool, from skeins to crafts. I've been wanting to visit for years, I've just been too lazy to get there lol! I'll find out a bit later if she still feels like going today or if we should postpone it to a day with better weather.

Monday again and that means RAK! Random act of Kindness. Do something nice for a team mate or 10, fave bomb their shops, make a treasury, a little purchase, some promotion on your social media, anything you can think of to put a smile on somebody's face.

Have a great day everybody!

Good morning, Val and all!

Val, if you end up going, have a fabulous time. Or else, have a fabulous time at home lol.

Haven't made a treasury in forever, but enjoyed putting this one together and browsing members' shops:

We are back to beautiful weather here in the Sunshine state and I am hoping winter is over for us. We had some pretty cold nights and days this winter.

Happy Monday all!

Hi All,

Val, have a great time. The co-op sounds so interesting.

The temperatures here are going to be in the 20's this week which is so much better than -6 degrees F.

My treasury is called Words and Writing.

Have a great day.

Good Morning Evewryone,

Yup, it's beautiful here in Key West again. We should be moving to a full hook up site on Wendesday so tomorrow is pack up day. It will be time to get the shop put away and get everything else packed away as well. We've been on our current site for four weeks and will miss it.

I will be off to do RAKs shortl;y, but first here is my latest Civil War Bullet Pen.

Thanks for your support.

Have a great day everyone.

Thank you so much!

Good morning everybody! I'm on a pinning spree so I will be pinning a lot from this team throughout the day. Happy Monday to all!

Good morning everyone:

Cold here this morning but finally it is sunny. I will be off to do RAK's soon.

Val: Have a great time!

Genevieve: Congratulations on your Etsyversary.

Vicky: Hope you feel better soon.

Donna: Thanks for including me in the treasury.

Very busy workday ahead but hoping to make a lot more progress on my new wildlife wood signs after work.

Have a great day!

[GlensWorkshop]

Good Morning Again,

Thanks to Alanna for pointing out I had posted the wrong link for my new listing. That is the cutest Civil War Pen ever though, don't you agree? LOL.

Here is the correct link:

Five RAKs completed so far today.

Have a great day.

Glen, lovely little girl and lovely pen.

Crown, happy 1st etsyversary.

Donna, lovely treasury, I faved, pinned and tweeted.

[naturepoet]

Holly, thank you for pinning your team mates. Very much appreciated by all of us.

Val, be safe traveling if you still go to the coop. Sounds like a great way to spend some time.

[naturepoet]

RAK done. I will do my best to do others later.

[NaturalClocks]

Great treasuries everybody!

Happy Etsyversary Crowlandcottage! May this be the first of many! :)

Vicky, I hope you'll get better soon. I've seen that you've had quite a bit of snow last week, that doesn't happen often in Israel, does it?

We postponed our day out at the end, the wind picked up and we had heavy hailstone one hour before we were due to set off (luckily that was 10 minutes after I got back from my walk with Blake! pfiuuuu) so we chickened out, if it got this wild here on the coast, what was it going to be like for 60 miles across the mountains? I waited this long, another few weeks won't make much difference haha. This is the place if you want to see it http://www.woolclip.com/

So I got myself into town instead as I had to collect a couple of parcels from the sorting office (I was at work on Saturday, and I wasn't expecting them until this week, I can't really complain at the speed of despatch from those 2 ebay sellers lol). I went back to the vintage shop and picked up this copper plate which I saw last week. I personally love it, I hope it'll find a home soon!

And for the American amongst us, after selling the Independence Hall plate clock a couple of weeks ago, I now have Boston in blue and white :)

[COLDHAMCUDDLIES]

Faved all the new items posted here and also "treated" all the Treasuries. A bit late here today, because for some reason there've been a lot of new shows Following the Cuddlies, after faving a lot of them, as well as the shop today. Think some of them may well be newer members of the Team, so as I normally convo folk who've faved multiple Cuddlies (over 4 at a time), I've been sending them messages and fave bombing them too - so hope they count as RAK's as well as the Treasuries etc.

Still no word from my Hairy Bear Buyer; have decided in my own mind which one should be sent to her, so if I don't hear by mid-week, and because I need the space for the replacements I'm planning on starting tomorrow, I'll send him off on Thursday. She did ask for a Bear with a Big Head and Brown Eyes, and I've delivered on both those!

Bitter cold here today. Waited nearly half an hour for a 'bus that still hadn't arrived by the time I'd walked back from the stop and visited Clare before coming home here. It's on those occasions I wish I still had a car. Decided that what I planned on doing in town this morning could well wait until later in the week, and haven't regretted that decision at all.

Hope you'll get to the Wool Clip, Val. It looks well worth a visit.

Get better soon Vicky.

Right, getting near bed time, and I still need to visit my usual threads, off to do those too. Hope they'll count as RAK's for today as well.

Another RAK done.

[GlensWorkshop]

2 More RAKs completed.

[RedRiverValley]

Got several RAKs done. Beautiful treasuries today! I thought I had posted earlier, but something must have happened and I didn't hit the button to post because I don't see it.

I finally finished that custom order from last week. Do you ever agree to a custom order and then once you get started think "what was I thinking" lol It was a lot of work but I think it turned out really well. Hopefully she likes it!

Val, I love the new copper plate clock!!

Well I am going to try and relax a little before heading to bed. I hope to finish a new set of wood candle holders tomorrow. Good night AAA team!
