Purely for fun, check out this funky website www.skybluepink.com “Cool Stuff for Non-Fancy Prices!”
It’s a collection of stuff that’s perfect for collage and paper arts—feathers, charms, miniature locks and tiny decks of cards. All fun and light-hearted.
But for a real treat, sign up the newsletter. The Royal Newsletter Manager (aka HRH the Queen, the Royal Cook and Chief Bottle-Washer, and Christina Gibbs, owner of SkyBluePink) creates a whimsical world of self-appointed royalty and charm. Everyday occurrences (recalcitrant refrigerators and snowstorms in New England) become tiny adventures and tales of melodramatic woe. I find myself smiling or even chuckling out loud right along with her.
Here’s a snippet from today’s newsletter:
***PRICE CHILL
The Committee for the Review and Ascertainment of Non-Fancy Prices
(CRANFP), whose goal is the maintenance of non-fancy prices within the
Realm of SkyBluePink, hath scrutinized the prices of playing cards and
decreed a lower price on Round Playing Cards. Henceforth they shall be sold
for the non-fancy price of $1.00, matching the price of the Crooked Playing
Cards. The Queen would further like it known that the Crooked Playing Cards are crooked in shape only. No impugning of their character is implied in their name.****
Through her website and newsletter, Christina has created a distinctive look and brand for her small home business. It’s a light-hearted world she invites you to enter, and I am better for it on this cold, overcast, wintry New England day.
