31 days come and gone in January. I had my birthday. I hit a flea market with Amy. I had a day of junking with with Amy and met a woman who has a crazy paint by number collection (post coming). I was busy in my studio creating Valentine goodies for Etsy. I hit a couple of estate sales but still wishing the season would start up soon. I bought a new cabinet for my studio. It was a good month.
Follow me on Instagram for snippets of my crazy world between my blog posts. I do have fun!

December. I had my two biggest holiday shows of the season and they both broke previous records for sales. I decorated for Christmas in my usual over the top holiday fashion. I shared a booth with Amy at Monticello Antique Mall for the holidays. A group of women runners came by my house one evening and handed me "A Best of Show" handmade award for my festive holiday house. I stayed up till 12 on New Years.
Happy 2015. Start out your year by following me on IG...day by day Magpie Ethel adventures!

November, November, November. I crafted like a demon. I had two holiday shows. I listed my holiday stuff on Etsy and mailed out a record number of boxes (thank you). Plucky Maidens was amazing. I got two new swim caps for my collection. I hit the mother lode of spun heads. I made a triple batch of Chex mix for Thanksgiving and Kate came home from college for Thanksgiving break. (she also brought a kitten with her and my house is not kitten proof!) I finally started my holiday decorating. November was a good month and I am gearing up for the insanity of December.

October was a crazy busy month. (Is a month ever not crazy?) Lots of Halloween decorating. Lots of holiday crafting. I hit a big antique show and some decent estate sales. I helped with decorating for Plucky Maidens Gets Hitched Bridal Show. I worked at an estate sale. Kate turned 21. I found $20 in the street. I hit 1500 followers on Instagram. It was a good month.
Lots of snippets from the past month. This is only a portion of what I post. I usually share about 4 or 5 photos a day. If you want to see more you can always follow me on Instagram!
Happy Day!
Instagram is like multiple mini blog posts during the day. It is fun to share tibits of my life and I have met a whole new community of like minded people. It is addictive....
September took me and the family to Multnomah Falls for a day trip. We went to Bonneville Dam and saw the sturgeon. I took Kate back to college. I went to the Coburg Antique Show. I hit some good estate sales. I did lots of holiday crafting and am crafting like a madwoman with the approaching holiday season. I got out my Halloween bins and am ready to start decorating today. September was very busy.
And on to October...
Another month come and gone. August found me quite busy. Two trips to the beach. The humdigger sale with Amy. Huckleberry picking. Good Halloween finds. Lots of studio crafting for the upcoming holidays.

Instagram is like doing a quick tiny blog post multiple times a day. A tiny peek into what my day is like. I will never quit blogging and still love that, but Instagram has become a fun little addition to it. You can follow me if you are on Instagram - Magpie Ethel.
