friend friday & some links

via apricot basket

Wow, what a rewarding week.  It started off with this Apartment Therapy post that I was featured in, and ended with a mention in yesterday's Etsy Finds email!  So, I wanted to say hello to any new readers out there.  Hi!

On Fridays I like to share work from friends, and today it's my friend Virginia Evans, aka Apricot Basket.  I mentioned her a few fridays ago (she runs the Etsy dinner meet ups in Philly), but we met at the last Clover Market of 2011.  Now we see each other at least once a week at quizzo!  She takes really pretty pictures that she sells online and at shows.  In fact, she took this funny photo of Steven holding up his copper pipe handiwork on our windy stand last Sunday (we may have forgotten some stand elements after attending a wedding the day before...).  And she has an awesome orange tabby cat named Gwenevere as well.

Some links I liked this week:
