keepin busy

Its been a few months that I've bene living in Port Aux Basques.  Rural life suits me and I'm inspired to make something or do something awesome everytime I turn a new corner.

I’ve got three etsy shops that cater to each one of my leisure musings:

Happy Utilitarian started as an excuse to be constantly using my incredible 1958 Singer sewing machine. It was one of the few things I bothered to move here with and I’m sure glad I did. Ideas for the shop spawn from what I think might be useful for my everyday life. When I think of something, I make it, and the end result is half decent, I refine the design and it makes the cut.
  




Matters of Little Consequence is a little more frivolous.  I was urged to make this shop after reading le Petit Prince (which is what the name of the shop refers to). This shop features little embroidered images.  I make custom embroidered images too!

  




Eureka Paprika is my flagship shop.  Its where I sell vintage finds and my scapegoat for my thrift shopping addiction. The thrift here in Port Aux Basques is limited, but when I do find something special, it goes straight to the shop.
