On my cutting-table today.

It’s Monday and I’m back in the studio. Well, between loads of laundry. I hope you had an amazing weekend. I actually took the weekend off! Rest, relaxation, plenty of yummy  mochas, curled up in my cozy bed with a good dose of Hulu. Sometimes you just need to spend a little down time. Now, I’m ready to launch into something beautiful. New vintage ribbon arrived in today’s post. I see beautiful in Mireio’s future, too!

Is your week just flying by? I can’t believe it’s already Wednesday. (Just two more days until the next edition of The Best of Etsy. Or the start of your weekend. Woot!)

It’s been such a busy week, I nearly forgot to share with you how amazing Monday was! I woke up to find Mireio in Etsy’s Finds. If you haven’t seen it, click click. It’s a gorgeous edition chock full of minty goodness.

I spent the day catching up on laundry, baking homemade pizza for dinner, and attempting to make Chocolate Creme Brulee (We ate it, but it seemed more like a mouse!) in between pouring candles for recent sales. Some days are productive and I actually succeed at multi-tasking.  I spent most of the day off line, but managed to catch the debut Front Page for Mireio’s new Vintage Hand-dyed slips!

It’s always wonderful to make the Front Page of Etsy. But it was especially wonderful this time because one of my vintage slips was featured. I really adore the whole process of creating these slips and it’s so gratifying that Mireio customers adore the final product! I fielded more convos about those slips. Whirlwind of activity– mostly people asking for larger sizes since all of the Large and XLarge have already sold. Yes!! I’m working on creating more. In fact, if this sunlight holds, there should be more in stock by Friday.

Also waiting in my Etsy inbox was an invitation for sponsorship! Exciting, no? So, I’d like to introduce you to the lovely Nicole Jeannette of Sounds of Laughter, Shades of Life. Her blog is a collection of all that inspires her and in turn, she has a passion for human rights, so she’s pretty inspiring herself! I hope you’ll take a moment to read, especially her post about ways you can help end Human Trafficking. It’s not an easy read, but it is important. I really admire Nicole for stepping out and taking a risk.

Every day should be like that, no? I thought I’d share the wonderfulness and introduce (a wee bit early!) Mireio’s newest promotional! Each month I’ll be offering a discounted price on one special candle. This month, it’s the Custom Color Votive in Aquamarine for just $12.50. While supplies last and only until the end of January.

What a Monday! On a Wednesday. Which makes me wonder what tomorrow will bring.

Vintage Slips have arrived at Mireio. Hand-dyed, one of a kind, featuring handmade millinery blooms. Treat yourself to some Romance today!

This gorgeous Mireio candle was featured in Etsy Finds today. Along with some amazing spa and aromatherapy products. Go see all the lovely goodness!!

A very special thank you to the lovely Kerri of Ten Things for sending me the link! I’ve subscribed  to the Etsy Finds mailing list so I don’t miss out in the future.  You can too, right here!

Whew! I got my last Christmas presents mailed today. That was close!

So many of you are giving Mireio for the holiday—I’ve been very busy this week getting those last minute packages in the mail! I’m all caught up and your lovely gifts will be arriving soon. Which means I finally got around to sending off MY gifts to friends and family today.

I thought I’d share how I “wrapped” the boxes being mailed. I created a nest of tinsel on top of blue tissue. I tucked in a few mini candy canes and a handmade gift card. I’m so in love with the tinsel packaging, I think I might add it to Mireio next year. What do you think?
