Looking for the Color Red

Our assignment this week as a scavenger  hunter on ESN is to write about something red.  With Valentine's Day around the corner, there is red everywhere. Well, looking through my store, Hazel's HodgePodge, the only red things I found were Christmas items and a few of my sun hats.  Maybe a few souls who are much less procrastinating than I am would like to look HERE for items for the coming Christmas.

Otherwise get ready for summer with one of these unique sun hats.  They are great for gardening, fishing, going to the local fair or trade days--anywhere you need a portable sun shade. Cute sun bonnets for ladies or girls.

This red little girl's sun hat is reversible.

I will be listing more hats as summer approaches.

For Valentine items see our Featured item blogs last week and upcoming this week.

Also check out the plethora of items offered by our friends at ESN.

Valentine Clock

Featured Item of the Week!
Since Valentine's Day is coming soon--sooner than we can imagine, the way the days keep slipping by--I am featuring a Valentine item this week.
This little clock would make a perfect Valentine for someone who collects angels, or for a clock collector.  The clock which is only 1 1/2 inches across is mounted amid cherubs.  One cherub is in a heart.  Take a look at this and other items on Hazel's HodgePodge.

The ribbon hanger doesn't look it in the picture, but it is a pale pink.

Be My Honey! Planning ahead for Valentines Day!

We've just barely gotten through the Christmas season and into the New Year, and Hubby is still telling everyone "Happy Ground Hog's Day".  Wal-Mart had Mardi Gras stuff out the day before Christmas, I think.  I am a "last minute" person. In fact a little plaque over my desk says "If it weren't for the last minute nothing would ever get done."  This drives my mother-in-law crazy, as she is a "get it done way ahead of time " person. I am learning from her, but have a ways to go yet.  Anyway, I usually find myself way behind when listing seasonal items or decorating the store or planning seasonal sale ads.  Sometimes I even miss the opportunity of the season completely.

This time will be different--I hope. I am going to think Valentine's Day beginning tonight.  I know I have some good Valentine things here.  It is just a matter of hunting them up and listing them.

I started by looking through my "already listed" items for Valentine-y things. One of the first things I saw was this Dreamsicle cherub entitled "Be My Honey".    What better way to ask someone to be your Valentine than with this cute little cherub?  It would be especially fitting for someone who collects Dreamsicles.  Hurry and get this collectible for your "honey".

I also just listed this collectible Otagiri Japan Music Box that would make a wonderful Valentine gift for someone who collects either Pigs or music boxes.  It plays "Top of the World". That's where you are with your sweetie.Right?

Please check my store, Hazel's HodgePodge often in the next couple of weeks. I do plan on listing some other neat items that might be just right for your valentine. You might also indulge in a treasure for yourself to add to your collection or decor.
