barren river emporium February 9, 2011
mr. d and i would like to introduce you to our new etsy shoppe!
barren river emporium ~ curiosities from nature & industry.
we got inspired by all the wonderful natural findings we’d pick up
on our hikes & walks through the woods & whatnots
and i become more & more obsessed with vintage, re-purposed & up-cycled knick-knacks.
we have TONS more yet to come
{like up-cycled bottles & jars, driftwood & driftwood art,
and more rustic/industrial/vintage decor & natural curiosities}
please check out & stay tuned to Barren River Emporium
“favorite” us on etsy & let us know what you think!
{be curious. wander. re~discover.}
and we’ve already gotten some etsylove with a few VERY COOL treasury features already!

new crafties update January 13, 2011
hello lovely people….the blogging really got away from me!
i have been crafting up a storm & and i guess if i had better time management
i could accomplish both blogging AND crafting…but sometimes i get so obsessed with a project
and/or don’t really feel like i have anything interesting/new/clever to show and say here…that i lose spirit.
but in my many years on the planet…the only thing that inspires me and generates MORE creativity is to JUST DO IT!
GENERATE IT EVERY DAY.
it’s really hard sometimes, i know {and there’s nothing wrong with taking a day off here & there}
but let’s make a promise to our creative selves…to…DO SOMETHING CREATIVE EVERY DAY.
okay…that’s outta the way {i feel so much better}
here’s some goings-on from the last few weeks…
new paper mache creations {available in the shop}…
…sold a few items {aren’t the labels cute?}…
and have gotten lots of treasury features on etsy…
so i have been pretty productive…just waiting for the valentine~themed items to start selling!
i wish you a happy belated new year & thank you dear fans for reading and for diggin’ OliveLoaf Design
