Make a Date

A few weeks ago my girls and I were talking about new ideas for Posy Pins, we all agreed that it would be a lot of fun to have a Posy Pair that would be great for a play date... so the newest addition to the Posy collection is the the Play Date. Two hair pins one big, one small. Perfect for you and your girl, or your little one and her doll.

It just may be time to have a play date

Sealed With a Kiss

One of the weekly engagements I have is to go to my daughter's school and volunteer in the literacy and reading programs. Today as I made the rounds with the kindergartners, a little girl's hair clips caught my eye. They were cute, she wore one on each side of her head and they matched her valentines themed outfit. When I collected her for reading I realized that those little clips were Posy Pins. This little girl and I had a breif conversation about them, I said I liked them she said she liked them too. She looked at the one I was wearing and then I let her in on a my little secret. When I told her I made her Posy Pins a big smile crossed her face....

I've been thinking a lot lately about Posy Pins what they mean to me, where they end up and what our future together will be. I love Posy Pins but sometimes I question their intrinsic value. Its at the times that I question them most deeply that they reappear where I least expect them. That little conversation and the connection between that little girl and I, sharing and comparing our special Posy Pins, reminded me that its the little things that can bring us all together.

What you think about expands.... and today it all came back to me as a great big SWAK!!!

Mapping Happiness

About a year ago a friend of mine bought a single bright red Posy Pin before she went to a conference in Bhutan. She was wearing a great smile of satisfaction when she told me she planned to wear it during her trip. Ironically, after asking her about the conference theme, she said Happiness.

I was thinking the other night after my last post that Posy Pins make me happy. The process of designing them, building and packaging them, and sending them out into the world makes me really happy. And I love that Posy Pins are making other people happy too.

And so the Posy Pins Mapping Project has begun. If you are interested in mapping happiness or Posy Pins' travels please post the cities, states and or countries to the Posy Pins Fan Page on Facebook. You can also track Posy Pins' travels on the map located on Posy Pins Profile in the Travel tab.

Happy Travels!!!

Posy Pins to the World

A friend of mine and I talk sometimes about the PP Empire....that is the Posy Pins Empire. Its funny how those conversations spark a curiosity about how these sweet little flower pins could evolve and just how they might make their way into the world. That little spark of curiosity gets me pretty fired up I must admit and these conversations generally end in my declaration "Posy Pins to the World".

I love Posy Pins, when I make them I giggle, I smile and think "wow now that one is really cute", "ohh that one is much better that I expected"..... "Ohhh now that one I have to keep"..... it gets a little silly after a while. When I package them up and get them ready to send out, I look at each one and think "gotta love that".

I know why I love Posy Pins.... tell me why you love them and I'll put your name in the Pick a Posy hat....if you have the luck of the draw I send you a pack o' posies!
