I like the ideas presented in this article today.  I am passing it on as it said much, and more eloquently than I could.  Thanks to Etsy for this good advice!

 

Here are a few pictures from the recent Scattered Seeds and WEST sales.

WEST and Squidee at Scattered Seeds

Everyone meet Squidee. (Do you see him peeking up at the Scattered Seeds sign from the Christmas Tree?)

He's a spoolknitted creature made by Tawny Bee.  And he's the new mascot for the WEST booths at Scattered Seeds this year.

Yesterday he made the rounds.

He was spotted swimming in one of Nancy Blokland's pottery bowls.

He took a ride in a quilted purse at Tawny Bee.

He enjoyed a little snooze in a nursing cover at On The Go Designs.

Then decided to attempt a snack at SOGA Soaps (but quickly realized those treats were beautiful cupfakes - not good for Squidee to eat! Much better for a luxurious bath instead).

Then he wandered over to check out the fortune cookies at Hoshii Designs (and quickly realized that those weren't for eating either! But oh such a pretty accessory!)

Squidee filled in for the mannequin head over at Sage and Olivia for a spell.

Then headed for Cloverleaf Art and Fibre where he learned about his roots.

It was an awesome journey for Squidee yesterday at Scattered Seeds.

Today is the last day to check out the sale and visit the new WEST booths' mascot!

He hopes to see you there!
