Nanticoke Lane

Happy Monday friends! How about the Super Bowl last night!? What a game! Congrats to the Chiefs (although I was rooting for the Eagles as I was born in Philadelphia) Both teams played great!! So, How was your weekend? Mine was both restful and productive, but this morning I feel like an extra day off would have been nice. 🤭 Sleep is my friend these days.

I recently did a custom order for bookmarks. They were for a book club. I liked them so much that I decided to list them in the shop so others might enjoy them as well. These are great for more then just bookmarks. They can be used for junk journals, scrapbooking, to display, etc. Think creative. 😉 Link is in profile. I’d love to hear what you think. Have a good day…and don’t forget to smile. ☺️

Hi friends! Yep, it’s me! I really am hoping to do better with my Nanticoke Lane IG this year. Time just slips away and I have to prioritize in an effort not to push myself harder then what I can handle these days. I trust everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Mine was lovely…and quiet. 🙂 I’m hoping for great things this year…I need it to at least be better then last. That would be a step in the right direction.

I wanted to share some new items that just dropped in the shop. Happy Easter Stickers, Happy Spring glad Stickers and Spring Gift tags. All three are in this image. Bop over to the shop (link in profile) and check them out. I’m running a sticker and ribbon sale (25% off) through 2/11. A great time to stock up or purchase something you’ve been eyeing. I look forward to sharing more. Appreciate that you’re still here. ❤️

Hello friends! Sending some holiday cheer your way on this Wednesday! I decorated my desk at work this year and absolutely love this little area! 🥰 Do you have all your Christmas decor up?

If you haven’t bopped over to the shop….you should. There are still some gift kits, gift tags and holiday stickers available! Oh, and the 2023 business card size calendars are available too! Link in profile. Let’s make today great!

Happy Hump Day! Trust everyone is having a great week! I’m exhausted, but trucking along. There is ALOT going on this week on top of my normal schedule.

I adore these pumpkin stickers and they are a top selling item in the shop this time of year. You can get a set of the small pumpkin, a set of the tall pumpkin or you can do half and half. Very versatile stickers too…can use on just about any packaging, envelope, treat bags, etc. Link to shop is in the profile. 🙂

Happy Sunday friends! It’s been a gorgeous weekend here in Springfield….and I’m so excited that Fall is finally here!! 🥰 I went to .gray Fall Market yesterday and it was wonderful. The smells, live music and colors made this girls heart full for sure. Plus I spent some girl time with my mom, sister and a friend who joined us.

On a another note, the shop has some fun fall items and I’ve even got all the Christmas items up as well. Bop over and take a looksey. Link in profile. 🙂

Hi Friends! It’s been a minute, right? I’ll share a little below, but wanted to let you know that despite my lack of posting on here since January (yep! 😳), I am working hard to have a GREAT Christmas selection this year. This is just a few new items that will be in the shop in September! Yay!!!

So, after having Covid in December of last year and things shifting in my role at work, my overall ability to do as much as I was with my Etsy shop shifted. Covid affected my energy levels and that has taken a real toll for the better part of this year and then add to that, the stress of my new role at work (including some travel) leaves me exhausted at the end of the day. The struggle has been real so adding new items and spending “extra” time on Etsy has been hard. I also battle with anxiety so my exhaustion levels can get intense at times. It’s hard, because the Etsy shop is my creative outlet and I really enjoy it, but finding time and balancing the other areas of my life is necessary. I’m still figuring it out….as I’m sure many of you are as well. 🙂 So there you have it.

Christmas is the one time I go all in and I’ve been planning/gathering/creating for a couple months now to ease into getting items together and listed. In my mind…it will have been worth the wait and I hope you feel the same when everything hits the shop. Christmas is my favorite time of year for anyone who really knows me. 🎄

For those who have stuck with me (and are still following Nanticoke Lane) - THANK YOU! I appreciate all your support. …STAY TUNED!

Morning Loves! It’s been a minute since I’ve posted and I apologize for that. I was put in a larger role at work and that has really rocked my world a bit. Then the holidays rolled in and the orders tripled…which is a good problem to have. Lol. Mid December I got covid pretty bad and was down for two weeks and then got a wicked sinus infection and got on some antibiotics. So, here we are a month later and I am just now feeling back to myself. I’ll tell ya…as I get older, I have no tolerance for “sick”. Can anyone relate? …and on top of all that, I had car issues and mohs surgery on an area of my chest. SIGH.

HOWEVER, I’ve been working on adding some new items to the shop and am going to try to get on here more as well. I can’t commit to it, but I will certainly try. 🙂 These Spring Stickers are new to the shop and so stinkin’ cute. There are gift tags from the same cute family, so bop of to shop and check them out. Link in profile.

I’ve babbles on enough for one day. Lol. How are you? Anything new or exciting you’d like to share? How were your holidays?

⁣

Morning Loves! How are you doing? Life treating you well? I have beeb BUSY. This time of year is always crazy as the Etsy shop really picks up. ☺️ plus I’m making an Advent calendar this year for Max and I. It’s been a bit more challenging then I imagined, but the end product will be exactly what I wanted and will full creativity every year - going forward. WIN!

I added these holiday sticker wraps to the shop this year. They can be used like washi tape, but aren’t removable like washi. You can use them on small boxes, bags or to seal your holiday envelopes. SUPER CUTE!…definitely would add some class to your holiday packaging. Stop over to the shop and check them out. Link in profile.

I am sooooo excited that Fall is here. It really is my favorite. What isn’t there to love (well, maybe the rain)? I’m in awe of natures beauty, the smells, bonfires, cool temperatures and FOOD. ☺️ I’m not even sure I could pic a favorite. How about you? Do you have a Fall favorite?

The business cars size 2022 calendar is now available in the shop. This cuties sell fast, so be sure to bop over and get one or two. You can even purchase a plastic case that opens to display it! Link in profile. They are great for small spaces and make great stocking stuffers. ☺️

Morning loves! Trust you are all doing well on this windy Monday morning (we’re under a wind advisory 💨 here in Springfield, MO). I cannot believe that we are almost half way through October! Where in the world has this year gone? I’m already filling Christmas product orders…which seems crazy, but I commend those who get a jump start and plan ahead. ☺️ I’m not quite ready to start posting Christmas in my feed yet, so will most likely keep it Fall for a tad bit longer. Stories will probably be Christmas though…for now. Ok, I’ve blabbered on enough. Bop over and see the Fall fun in the shop as well as lots of Christmas Cheer! Link in profile. Have a great day!!

Hey there! I’m back from a MUCH needed vacation (it’s been 6+ years). Max (my fur baby and I went to Gulf Shores, AL. Soooo nice and relaxing. I’ll try and post some pics later so you can see some of our adventures.

This navy and cream ribbon in new to the shop. It has farmhouse flare and I love it. It would look great wrapped around a gift or even a on a kraft gift bag tied in a pretty bow. Bop over to the shop and check it out. Link in profile.

Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine was B-U-S-Y! I’m planning to take a vacation in the Gulf Shores next week and wanted to get some Christmas items captured so if I want and/or if I get restless I can edit/resize and get drafts set up. I am really excited about the Christmas stuff…probably because it’s my favorite. Lol.

Anywho…have you started decorating for Fall yet? I’m starting to see pumpkins and mums and love it! I personally haven’t done anything yet. Because of being in an apartment again, ai can’t do what I’ve done in the past….but would like to do something. Stay Tuned. ☺️ Let’s make this day GREAT.

Hi friends! Trust everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend. I took my pup and we went to Branson, MO To spend Saturday night with my sister and brother in law in their camper. Then the family came and we had a bbq at the campground Sunday. It was a good time. What did you do?

Are you looking for Pumpkin or Fall stickers? These are new to the shop this year and are available in white or kraft. Bop over to the shop and check them out. Link in profile.

Hi friends! How are all you lovelies doing today? I’m a bit tired and was running behind this morning. I take Max (my pup) to daycare on Tuesdays and we are usually there before they open. ….not this morning. Lol. Some mornings, the struggle is real! 🤪

It’s hard to believe that Fall is just around the corner, but I’m so ready for some cooler weather and all things Fall. If you are looking/needing some Fall gift tags, these are now available in the shop. Link in profile. 🙂 Have a fantabulous day and don’t forget to smile!

⁣

Morning friends! How is everyone holding up in this heat? We’ve been under a heat advisory again…and all I can say is that I am sooo ready for Fall. Lol. Can anyone agree?

I’ve added several new items to the shop this week and most are Fall items. Bop over and check them out. These mini brown floral cards are super cute and versatile. Put with Fall arrangement for a friend, put in a lunchbox or leave on a co-workers desk with a little note. It’s a set of six and come with kraft coin envelopes. Stay cool and have a GREAT day!!

Hi Friends! It’s been a hot minute and I know I’ve been M.I.A for awhile. I’m going to “try” to get back to posting again, but it will most likely be slow moving. So much has been happening, but the biggest was my move into a studio apartment. Things got a bit overwhelming/exhausting and once I was officially moved in, I needed some time to breath. I opened the shop back up about a month ago and have added some new items, but remained off social media for the shop. I’ve finally decided to make an appearance (🤣) by showing a couple pics of my new little abode. It’s perfect for me and my fur baby, Max and we have settled in nicely. Yay!!! The first pic is the living space/bedroom. I bought a sleeper loveseat from Lazyboy and it’s been a perfect way to blend the space. The second image is my workspace. I’ll share more of it later, these are just quick and easy views. The studio is beautiful. Gray walls, wood like floors, high vault ceilings, has a w/d hookup closet, a porch with storage as well as a great size kitchen and bathroom!! I’m feeling sooooo blessed. I’ll be posting some of the new items in the shop here in the feed and in the stories…..so stay tuned. How are you??? I’ve missed connecting, but as we all know, life happens and my free time has been more limited these days.

Morning Facebook! I "hate" that I haven't been able to post as often on here, but hoping by the end of June things will settle a bit - with work and my move. My anxieties have been off the charts and that really drains me. I know many don't get it, but let me tell you...the struggle is very real my friends. Although I haven't been posting on here or in my stories as much, I have been trying to work and think about new ideas and such for the shop. This image is one of the ideas. It's packaging for a large journal kit. I actually put a kit together and gave this cutie to my sister as a birthday gift. The fun thing is that the packaging can be used for junk journals, scrapbook as well....so it's a WIN-WIN. What do you think? Would love to hear your thoughts. I even thought that I could sell something like this as a gift kit?? I tend to put ideas to use when I'm putting gifts togethers for friends and family. 🙂 Anywho...trust you are all well! Have a fabulous day! MUAH!!

Hi Friends! Wow...so much has been going on and I've been pretty quiet on here, but unfortunately life happens, challenges present themselves and we do what we can, when we can, right? This is part of the journal kit I did for my mom for Mothers Day. Once things settle down, I'm excited to share some new things with you in the shop!!! WOO HOO!! Who doesn't love "new" things?! lol. I really enjoyed putting this together and loved how I packaged it for her....it's in my stories today. 🙂 ⁣
⁣
Ok...let me fill you in on what's been happening - I'll just put the top three to prevent writing a mini novel:⁣
1) The place I'm moving to called and said they had a Studio A available as someone backed out and because it's the Studio I originally wanted, they wanted to offer it to me. It has a little patio, storage off the patio and I can take my washer and dryer with me. BOOM!!! ....and it's not going to cost me a cent more! I've been selling away and continue to purge, but packing will now need to begin. ⁣
2) Have had a couple maintenance issues at the duplex I am renting. 🙄 So over things breaking, but things are resolved and all is well in the land of little abodes.⁣
3) My pup, Max went to the vet Thursday for his annual vaccinations and his heart rate was 1/2 what it should be. UGGGHH!! Friends...this stress alone is weighing me down. I'll leave it at that for now, but will update when I know more or if things resolve themselves. You're thoughts and prayer are GREATLY appreciated!! ⁣
⁣
HOW HAVE YOU BEEN? Trust all is wonderful and the mothers out there had a fantastic Mothers Day weekend.

Hi friends! I've slowed things down a bit in terms of adding new items to the shop because of the upcoming move; however, I've been working on ideas and think you'll enjoy them...so stay tuned. ☺ In the meantime, I'll be spotlighting some current items in the shop like these hand stamped bird tags. Fun for this time of year, but great for use year round. Check them out in the shop. Link in profile.

Hi! I thought it was time to put a face to the feed. LOL. If you look at my stories from time to time, you may have seen me, but for those who haven't...this is me..in BASIC form. No makeup - which is my jam lately and my hair is down which is pretty unusual these days. I usually pull it back into a low bun. Anywho...this is my official introduction. It's WONDERFUL to meet you and I'm so glad you're here. Here are some random facts about me and then I'd love for you to share too. Okie dokie?

◼ I'm an identical mirror twin
◼ Right now gray is my favorite color
◼ I'm obsessed with the ID Channel & all things True Crime
◼ Diet Dr. Pepper is my go to cold drink lately
◼ I’m a TRUE introvert with anti-social tendencies
◼ My miniature schnauzer, Max is literally my kid
◼ Born in Philadelphia, PA & raised in upstate NY
◼ I have three tattoos

Your turn! I'd love to get better acquainted.

I absolutely love this image taken in my bedroom. There is a bit of sadness knowing it will soon just be an image in my phone. lol. I went and saw an empty studio where I'll be moving and decided that a hideaway bed is best. I know, I know...some of you are going to think, "are you sure"? I am. In living in a small space, it's necessary for it not to be cramped, but functional for me and my lifestyle. In saying that...the living room space is important and the workspace is vital. The change will be different....for sure, but I'm still excited! 🙂 So, in saying all that....I will miss this view.

Happy Monday! How was your weekend? It was a gloomy here - cold and rainy, but overall was still a good weekend. My place is looking a tad sparse as I've been selling "stuff" every weekend. I'm holding on to the BIG items till the move gets closer, but hey... I'm making progress! 🙌 Plus, my sister and I are going to have a BIG Garage sale in May...so trying to get things together for that too. Garage sales are so much work, but usually well worth it. 🙂

If you're a sewer, seamstress or fabric lover, check out these gift tags in the shop (link in profile).They have some vintage flare and are great for packaging orders or just to give to someone who could use a smile.

I'm a true earth tone gal...I love the browns and gray tones. You just can't go wrong with them. EVER. lol. 😊 It's one reason I added these to the shop. Very versatile....and can be used as seal on envelopes, for packaging, journals, scrapbooking, etc. I'd love to hear if there is another color pallet you'd like to see in the shop. Let me know....and in the mean time, have a FANTABULOUS day!

Good Morning and Happy Monday! I don't know about you, but I love all the colors right now. I captured this image several years ago, but it's still a Spring favorite of mine. 😊 The end of last week, I noticed the beginnings of a nest in a nook on my front porch. I know some refuse to have nests on their porches, but I don't mind and have enjoyed watching it from a distance building the nest. I am amazed at God's marvelous creation! Well, I got a late start this morning, so I'm off to get a cappuccino - Mondays are not my best days lol! 🙂

Happy Saturday! What are you up today? My mornings on the weekends usually start with cuddles with my pup, Max, a cup of coffee and a walk (with Max, of course). 🙂 Today I'm hoping to make some headway with taking pictures and listing stuff to sell due to the upcoming move. We'll see how that goes. lol. These compass stickers have been a hit in the shop. They are 1" and you have the chose of having N-S-W-E on them too. Very versatile and great for all kinds of creative fun. Bop over to the shop and check them out. ....and have a FABULOUS weekend! 😊

This Gray and Cream Striped Ribbon is new to the shop. It's exactly like the red and cream ribbon one in the shop, just gray. It's great for crafting, gift wrapping, product packaging, and scrapbooking. There are lots of possibilities. Think Creative. 🙂
