Summertime

It's officially summer now, Yay... I love the long days and the sunshine.  I'm not as much of a sun worshipper now.  I tend to cover up the skin a little more and wear large hats. Speaking of hats I ordered a bunch of hats for Pirates Plunder they should be fun. I also put a bunch of skirts in the store, here's hoping they do well.
I put some shell jewelry out and I make a few rings every couple of evenings to keep my supply up. Well another busy day.  All my packages are ready this afternoon and I am off to the Post Office, then back here to make a few new listings on Etsy.

More Tie Dye

It was a lovely day at the Beach and the farmers market this morning then into the kitchen to work.  I've been tie dyeing and getting things ready to go into Pirates Plunder.  I've also been getting things done to put into the Etsy store too so a little busy right now.
It is always joyous to pull that load of tie dye from the dryer and look at what comes out.  You never know how your luck will hold out but I think it's a good batch.  Lots of color and pretty flowing skirts, maybe I should go dancing next.

June 22 2012

Well the blog post the other day seemed to have been a nice little introduction on Etsy.  I had over 600 hits on my Saltlandia.etsy.com site and some sales were generated also, Yay...

For today I'm going to get my little smoker going and smoke some salt.  I will also be replenishing my rosemary salt supply too. Then while my salt is smoking I will get back to my tie dye.  I have some new colors I have mixed up and some new designs I have been working on so I will have photos for those in the next couple of days.

I will attach a few photos from the last few days, if you see something you like head over to nancystiedye.etsy.com and pick it up.

Pirates Plunder

See I'm back so soon. It's amazing what happens when you set an alarm and it tells you to do something.

                                                                                                                                                                               Today I will be working on somethings for Pirates Plunder. Pirates Plunder is an antique/craft mall in Newport next to the aquarium. I have it filled about 75% right now and working on that last little bit. I have jewelry, t shirts, sweatshirts, hand drawn cards and a few antiques. I have a few sun dresses I'm going to dye today to stick down there and maybe some Ipad cases. I'm also patiently waiting for my shipment of phone cases so I can get them turned into original art works, they will also go in the booth. Make sure and stop by whenever you are in Newport.

This summer has been busy so far and it will probably get a lot busier but there will always be time to head to the beach.

 Thanks

Things New and Old

Well I have missed out on my blog here but will set a reminder on my phone so I will be more regular. Allowing my phone to take some of my cognitive load is ever so helpful and I'm hoping to find a little more time to do all the little things. On to business, new stuff posted in Sheila's Attic. Sheila's Attic is our vintage finds, handmade clothes and miscellaneous art work, jewelry, etc... Nancy's Tie Dye will be just my tie dye nice and simple that way. Saltlandia is my salt infusions which will be rolled over into The Salt Distillery soon hopefully as soon as my agricultural license is taken care of. That is the lay of the land right now. Things do change and I will keep everyone up on what's going on. Right now I have some really cute dresses available at Sheila's Attic (see attached) We are also working on some maxi dresses which are just the longer version of our hippie dresses super cute for summer. Well I'm off to go do some more work in the kitchen. Thanks for stopping by, Nancy
