Monday Marketplace #2 and a winner!

I think we got off to a great start last week for the first 

Monday Marketplace.

It was really fun looking through all the links to see all the great items.

If you're here for the first time, then let's go over the concept for this link up.

This is a linky party for Etsy and Online Shop sellers,

or if you've recently purchased something from an Etsy or Online Boutique.

 This is about showcasing items and the creative shops that are out here in blogland.

Here are a few items that caught my eye from last week.

A wonderful blue transferware bowl from our talented friend, 

Rosemary, from Villabarnes

Angie from Swede 13 has this fabulous mirror for sale

This Italian Porcelain Footed Bowl would look wonderful on my coffee table!

And I fell in love with this vintage straw hat from White Lilac Cottage

You may link up one or two items from your shop, please don't link up to just the store, but to individual items. Also, I'll give you enough space to list your blog name after the item description if you'd like, since it's not easy to put blog owner and shop together. I found myself trying to figure out what shop went with which blogger. And, you don't have to have a blog to link up, I'd just like that information available if possible. Then my next question would be, why don't you have a blog?

Monday Marketplace will be open all week, so be sure and check the entries several times this week, you have plenty of time to link up and browse. 

And one request please. If you are linking up to the Marketplace, I'm asking you to be a follower of Common Ground, and to grab the button for your sidebar. (upper right hand on the sidebar) Let's share the news. Thanks for making this new venue a success!

Such a great turnout for Nancy's Daily Dish Give Away, thanks so much for entering! And the winner is Nita Jo from Little Grey Gardens. Congratulations Nita Jo! Email me with your info and I'll forward it to Nancy.

I also have quite a few of the numbered brass tags left. I'm not selling these individually, but will be happy to incorporate them into a custom design necklace for you, to celebrate birthdates or anniversaries. If you don't see a number you need, let me know, I may be able to get one. Convo me on Etsy or email me with the subject as "Numbered TAG". 

So are you ready for some shopping fun?

xoxo,

Introducing Rosekraft

Hi Everyone, hope you're having a wonderful Sunday.

I want to take a minute to introduce you to my newest sponsor,

Rose from Rosekraft. 

On visiting Rose's blog, you'll see her San Francisco home, which is an expression of her love for Victorian cottage life. Even in the middle of a big city, Rose loves nurturing a small garden with her own vintage style. Her tiny city garden reflects how she maximizes her space, just look at these amazing homegrown lemons in a vintage copper bucket. Rose keeps a connection with the past, and it's evident in the items she creates for her Store and shows.

Can't you almost smell these fresh Lemons from the Garden?

Then come meet "the girls", where egg laying can cause a culinary celebration. 

Rose has a wonderful Etsy Shop, Rosekraft,

were she creates and sells beeswax candles from vintage Victorian molds,

and original Victorian Cottage die cut framed images.

How perfect for Easter

Beeswax Easter Rabbit Candle from a Vintage Candle Mold

and just to welcome Spring,

Beautiful framed images of original die cuts;

this is one of my favorite pieces.

Hope you'll drop by her shop and browse her lovely items,

to find a perfect gift for Easter and to welcome the start of Spring.

Are you ready to link up for Monday Marketplace?

Linky will be up mid-morning tomorrow.

see you, then.
