Spring is here!!!

You just have to love spring in Chicagoland ... ok you don't, but it is always surprising! Last week we had almost 90 degree weather, the week before we had a snow storm, today we woke to frost on the windshields of the cars. Makes me wonder why I haven't fled south of the Mason-Dixon line. I was definitly born on the wrong side of it!
One of the things I truely love to do, no matter what the weather, is window shopping. I have several friends that have wonderful shops on a website called Etsy. I can while away hours looking at all the hand/home made items there. I have purchased several items there ... much to my hubby's dismay as he has been trying to break me of my "see & spend" ways .... I have become best friends with some of the operators at QVC & HSN on the over night shift .
One of my dear friends for years has a shop on Etsy, here is the link http://www.etsy.com/shop/ablastfromthepast
Yellow Bracelet - Here Comes The Sun...

and the second link is to one of my fave pieces she has made. It is a fun & funky shop, be sure to stop by & check her out! I wish I could figure out how to post pictures on this blog, but since this is my first attempt at this ... I am hoping you will follow the link.
I will ask some of the people who are much smarter then me about this stuff & get back to giving you some more window shopping to do.
For now I will close ... but be sure I will return
