A Peek Into My Studio & Street Faire Preparations

Only two more days until the Camas Vintage Street Faire and there is still plenty to do!

Keep your eyes peeled for the new products from Between the Lines!

Hello August! Featured on Papernstitch!

Woah!  It's August!  Are you ready to make this month one long, summer hurrah?!  I plan to!  July went out with a bang.  Over the weekend, we enjoyed the Newberg Festival, I took a stroll through Camas Antiques, (a place you must visit if you're in town!), attended a baby shower for a dear friend who is so patiently waiting to find if she is having a boy or a girl next month, got to catch up with a bunch of my girlfriends from high school and college, and last night, we enjoyed a mouthwatering salmon dinner.  It was a great weekend!  

On another fabulous note, beginning today, my shop, Between the Lines is featured in Papernstitch's, Back to School Exhibition!  The exhibition runs August 1- September 4th, and there are many new bookmarks on display.  Plus, there are some other very cool handmade shops on exhibition, too.  Isn't handmade great?!

Like my shop on Facebook?  Please do!  There will be promo codes linked through the page around the holidays and I'll even be doing a drawing for all my Between the Lines "likes" in the next few weeks.  Thanks so much for helping me grow my business!

From my hands to yours,

Reader Love/Giveaway 3!

Welcome back!

I've finally finished round one of my

Fall line
of book marks.

This series of book marks has been the most fun for me. 

It's most likely because I am fall.

I was born in the fall--September

Started my blog in the fall-October

Married in the fall-November

I love sweaters in the fall,

scarves, boots, hot drinks, pumpkin spice treats,

and walks on cool, crisp, fall days.

I heart the fall.  Big time.

 It is the best time of year, wouldn't you agree?

While visiting my sis in Montana last month, we went bead hunting.  After coaxing my sister's husband into watching six children (including my two) we made our way into the city to explore the bead shop of downtown Missoula.  My sis, Tammy is quite the shopper, and she has one keen eye.  She helped me swoop up some lovely pieces.  Let's just say I spent a nice chunk of change on some fall-esque beads and charms, and didn't regret a penny spent.  How could I?  During our shopping hunt and upon return home, we got quite the kick out of talking about my "Fall line."  Either this is quite funny to you, too, or it's a Davis thing.  Must be a Davis thing. 

I can't believe I'm writing about this.

We also laughed quite a bit that day when my brother-in-law called my two-year-old a "human recking ball." 

I, obviously, received this statement in the form of a compliment. 

He ain't easy.

Go here for more evidence.

I felt understood!

Someone felt my pain!

(Husband does too, but he's Husband, and his type doesn't always realize the reality.)

I'll tell you more about yesterday morning when I woke up to the fumes of hot pink nail polish on my bedsheets and slathered all over Asher's toes, which somehow managed up his neck and in his hair--another time. 

I'm still working through that one.

Now for the GIVEAWAY!!

But first, I'd like to say thank you!

I love exchanging with my readers and getting to know you better.

Thanks for helping me celebrate three years of blogging!

You truly make my blogging experience worth while.

I love this book mark.

I love the filigree, the crushed chocolate ribbon, the unique antiqued copper clamps,

and the gold brushed teal leaf.

 It will make you sigh each time you close your book.
