~Yankee Peddler 2010: Two Weekends Down...One to Go~

We were blessed with a second beautiful weekend at Yankee Peddler Festival 2010. The weather was once again just perfect. The crowds were never-ending, and we sold non-stop....arriving home Sunday nite pooped but grateful. These are some photos from the weekend. I'm off to the studio. We are literally sold out of everything....including the inventory I had set aside for the last weekend. I'm still praying for those 'elves' to show up! Have a happy week. Stop by booth #214 in The Glen and say hello~

~Weddings and Tutus and Monkeys, Oh My~

The wedding is now only 11 days away. I'm working on finishing up Amy's veil today. Along with shipping out 8 jewelry orders. And seeing Mom. And my Aunt Grace, who we moved into the same place Mom is at this past weekend. And making more Cheeky Tutu Monkeys and Tutus for little girls, as my first 3-weekend show begins in August~

The nightmare of all nightmares happened last week: I shipped the wrong necklace which was meant to be given at a shower on Saturday. This is the second time in 8 years that I've done this. I feel awful about it, and am waiting to hear back from the customer....and the OTHER customer, too. sigh.

So....I'm off to the nursing home.....and then the studio this morning....waiting for the gray clouds to clear and let the sun shine. May it be sunny wherever YOU are in the world today~

~Monday Blessings~

Our Ella Layne at 20 mos.....she's now 5, and will soon be a Big Sister not only to her 2-year-old brother, Jackson, but to her new sister.


~Spring has finally arrived here in Ohio. Daffodils, tulips and flowering trees are everywhere.

~Adjusting to the new medication (Victoza) for my insulin resistance. My stomach hurts terribly. I can't eat. ugh.

~Can hardly wait to stick my toes into the ocean come Saturday~

~Hoping that each of you are counting the many Monday Blessings in your lives~
