~ Creative Corner ~
















Actually, it is not a corner, but it is my staging area for the Etsy store. Even though my house is an entire chaos, I love the soothing look of the chippy whites and vintage finds. I am saddened that yet again another years goes by, and I have not partaken in the event that is known as Round Top...Oh well, another one will be around the corner, and the sad part is is that time will fly and soon it will be October before you know it. As a child I always heard adults say "enjoy it now, because time flies " boy, were they right!!! But we are here now and I am happy to be able to partake in daily wonders-which of course means awesome vintage goodies...

" First Rose...."

The sun is peeking through the clouds and I think we will be getting rain tonight, but in the meantime I took a few pictures of the great outdoors. My first Rose for Spring, the next door neighbors visiting cat Chloe, my front door wreath, and my beautiful statue...Still trying to get my foot in the door at the hospitals so I can start working, and listing a few more Etsy finds....

What is St Patrick's Day anyhow.....

Well, it is St Patty's day and what a lovely day it was. Had lunch with my pal Marcey and her daughter, did a little snooping along the way at Cottage Panache Antiques and loaded up my Etsy store again. You know with all the hype about Ebay (and don't get me wrong) Etsy is tons easier and to the point. If you have not tried it you really should. It is a very simple way to make some extra money with your discards. Ebay has really gotten to the point of fees and more fees and now they are advertising their new no listing fees, but if you really read the rules about that-not such a great deal after all...And they are now charging 9% on all sold items WoW!!! Someone is getting greedy. I have had some really great moments with Ebay and some not so great, but enough is enough already....Now I am on a tangent (hope I spelled that right). Either way you look at it there are some really great internet options to selling now. Especially during these difficult times it is nice to know that there are other options out there and ways to make a little extra cash...Try it what do you have to lose...

Well, one could get spoiled with the wonderful weather we experienced yesterday and hopefully for days to come. Spring Break is next week. Hmmmmm, is that a good thing? I used to wait eagerly for vacations from school, but nowadays kids get bored the minute the bell rings. How does one appease a bored 14 year old girl? Is there ever a right answer or the right thing to do? Weather permitting we might go junking (not that kids like that) spend some time out doors, clean the garage perhaps, or better yet clean her room. Either way I will have over a week to decide and be reminded everyday how bored she is. Whoa is me!.....

~ Spring Fashions ~
















Jennifer has been busy at Lone Star unpacking and displaying the latest Spring fashions. Her clothes and accessories are to die for, not to mention the prices. Ranging from $28.00 to $70.00 her clothes are truly unique and original. She gets what she gets, so one has to be there and snatch them up quickly before they are gone. The majority of her clothes are priced in the mid $30.00 range so with today's economy you really can't go wrong. They coordinate easily with one another and can be worn with leggings or jeans and still look great! And did I tell you they have that shabby vintage look.......Can't wait for Spring....

" Presley's new do "......




Looks like the warm weather is slowly approaching-don't want to say that too loud or we might get snow again...Interviewed yesterday at the hospital and hopefully will be on my way to employment soon. (fingers crossed). Added more to the Etsy store and even added a link on my blog. Maybe one day I can figure out how to do a fancy one, but for now this will work. Anxious to see Alice in Wonderland-I bet it is going to be fantastic!...
