NEW52-Week34, Many NEW Goodies

We just finished the mid-week and already I piled on many NEW goodies to share with you all.  To begin with, I went to the Made in Hawaii Festival on Sunday.  For those of you who have never been, they have tons of samples out, just tempting you to buy, buy, buy.  So here are a few things that I bought, salad dressing from Honolulu Gourmet Foods, kiawe smoke hawaiian salt from Salty Wahine, and Guava Smoked spicy pork patties.  I can't wait to try them out.


I then wanted to work on a paper layout that is a bit more grunge and dimension.  Lately I've been inspired by Allison Waken, Marcy Penner and the other fabulous folks at Elle's Studio.  I really wanted to try this NEW technique so I used up some of my Basic Grey supplies (from a kit class that I took at my LSS) and worked on an Elle's Studio Sketch.  I really need to do some shopping at Elle's Studio since they have a sale going on right now.

Yesterday, I got a box from Amy Tan of Amy Tangerine.  She has a new product line from American Crafts and I ordered this class kit from her.  I can't wait to use all her goodies.  You see the golden wheel, that is an old kodak film canister that I can jazz up and fill it with stuff.


So the fun and excitement doesn't end here.  We've been proud chicken owners for the past 4 months and we've been waiting for them to start earning their keep.  Finally, one of them laid an egg for us this very morning.  So exciting.



The last thing, a NEW dress for me.  When I want to wear aloha attire, I go to Manuheali'i.  They have classic prints with a modern twist on aloha wear.  I didn't have a chance to model it for you, so I took this image from their facebook page.  They don't yet have it available in their on-line store just yet.  I got the white/black/green colored dress from their downtown store.  I love this style of dress, so comfy to wear at work.


So did you have anything NEW to share this week?

    I meant to ask you about the chicks - glad they are laying eggs for you.

    Are you mailing me the spicy pork patties?

    Wow, that's a lot of NEW this week! I love it all! I love your paper layout, it's gorgeous. Amy Tan was down in San Diego this past weekend teaching the class (with the kit you bought) at Paper Tales. I didn't get a chance to sign up and go. :( But I did buy some of her American Crafts items from Two Peas and they came last week. That's awesome your chickens finally started producing eggs! Yay!
