Good morning team!

Monday again, RAK day :) Random Act of Kindness! Show some kindness to a team member or 10, fave bomb their shop, make a treasury, a little purchase, give a word of support if they are feeling down, anything you can think of :)

The sun is (sort of) out again, today is a Bank Holiday in the UK, so I'll go and open the shop on what would normally be my day off.

Have a great day everybody!

Re: AAA Cafe' Daily Chat 05/05/2014

Good morning everyone :)
It's vaguely sunny here today, almost a miracle seeing as it's bank holiday therefore almost always rains lol!
One RAK done, I've created a team treasury of most of the people that join in daily chat regularly, although a couple of shops didn't have any pink items, so will hopefully return later and make another treasury to include those peoples items :) here's the link, I hope you all enjoy it - as I'm a proper girly girl I love it!!
https://www.etsy.com/treasury/NDAwNzQxMTl8MjcyNjEzODc2NA/in-the-pinks
Also, my dad's birthday is coming up on the 19th of this month, as is Father's Day, and I would like to buy him something from etsy for at least one of these. He's a nightmare to buy for off the high street so I'm hoping there's a few ideas on here for him. I'd like to buy from one of my teammates so we can help each other out :) There's a few things he likes; motorbikes, guitars and mechanical pencils (random I know lol). He's a recovering alcoholic so any item I buy has to have no mention or link to alcohol of any description. If anyone sells anything along these lines please let me know and I'll take a look. Thanks :)
Right back to knitting headbands I go lol!

Good morning everyone:

Lucy: If your dad likes mechanical pencils, you may want to check out GlensWorkshop. Also, thank you Lucy for including me in your treasury.

I will do my RAK once work settles down for me.

Have a good day everyone!

Good morning, everyone!

I have a doctor's appointment early this morning, so I will come back and do RAK later.

Lucy, thanks for including me in your treasury. It's beautiful!

Here are some more items listed yesterday. The light is yellower than other pics. I had to replace the bulbs I used before because one of them broke, and I think I got the wrong kind. These are some of what I call my Celtic critters:

Congrats on a successful show, Sara!

Stopping in again, this time to recommend a book. http://www.amazon.com/dp/1250044723

How to show and sell your crafts by Torie Jayne. Includes a section on marketing, including social media marketing. Looks interesting.

RAK not yet attended to, but hope to do so once I've finished here.

Thanks for including me in your Treasury Lucy - and Alanna just love your Celtic Fox tote. Am a sucker for Foxes, but that's probably stating the obvious! You're making it increasingly difficult choose one when the time comes for me to order - as I fully intend to do.

Have suddenly discovered I've got a lot more Toys requiring Renewing than I thought, so have had to deactivate some, as I've not yet taken new photographs of them. I've had to renew some, which will be more difficult to take outdoor photos of - Glove Puppets for example.

However, did take some of these guys, who have just been renewed for today's offering.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/108763404/toy-long-legged-tigers-yellow-tiger?nc=1

Talking of photographs - thanks Alanna for that one of Kili! It will be used in an upcoming blog, which I'm also hoping to do, but after the RAK's. Have started by faving everything posted here already.

Feeling very virtuous - got all my week's washing done, dried and put away (bar the stuff that I have to iron) and it's still not time for my evening meal!!

Weather has held up nicely too - despite the forecast. But it's not sounding terribly inspiring (or suitable for outdoor photography) for much of the rest of the week.

Off now to do my internet duties - here and elsewhere.

@Hafsa, I recommend using "bookmark" as one word somewhere in your tags, like "watercolor bookmark." Here are some others:
--gift for book lovers
--gifts for readers
--graduation gifts
--party favors

Like the sound of that Amazon book Laura - so have purchased it. Now have to wait till June before it arrives, but good things can wait, eh? That's an RAK in itself by the way!

Hi All,
Spring weather has recently arrived in the Philadelphia area. Gardening last weekend. Actually, I was sick so my husband did all the work. I admired the results.
2 RAK done. Faved Val's 1st page of Natural Clocks.
Faved 1st page of Mary's Nature Poet. You gotta love this one.

Re: AAA Cafe' Daily Chat 05/05/2014

Hi Everyone, I did not do my RAK last week, but I will try better this week.
I am slightly overwhelmed with how things are going. It is not a lot, but there are so many new things it is just a bit stressing.

Today I decided to buy new lamps for product photography. Only to find out after the payment I apparently ordered the wrong sockets. I already contacted the seller and I really hope they will give me my money back. 40 euro's is a lot for 2 usless lamps. It does not help the situation though. It was via Ebay and I am not used to buy via Ebay, so I really really hope it works out.

Glad to see so many lovely items in this topic today!

Back again. Had my DEXAscan and physical for life insurance. Did 4 RAKs. Here's one more listing I think is a hoot:

Sara, congratulations on the weekend sales!

Charlene - loved (and faved) your new items!

Bye again!
