I decided to join the 21st century and get a phone that I could check email on. (I know , I know I ended the sentance with a preposition.) After dithering for a year and a half (really.) my husband quizzed me and ordered a phone for me. Then my beloved took three hours out of his life and transferred my addresses onto the new fangled instrument we started to test drive it. Obviously I should have started out on one of those "senior" phones. I can't read it wthout my reading glasses on and I can barely manipulate the screen with my XXL fingertips. I actually have been reading the directions and so far I can take and make a call. I can call up my email but can't actually reply to a message with hitting a wrong spot on the touchpad and causing a garage door to open further down the street. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Luckily other systems are out there to facilitate ease of use more so than our wireless purveyors. My other new-fangled toy is ETSY. A global network of artisans and all of their wares, my new web site can be found at

Etsy really shares my esthetic. Handmade and vintage are two concentrations. The only issue I have is that I want to spend more than I list!
I have three Christmas trees in my truck that I have been riding around with since Saturday in the hopes of doing some MORE rearranging in the shop. All of my die-hard customers are telling me to get with the program re the holidays. SO far I have Halloween and Thanksgiving items on display and have resisted Christmas! I did however just get in new collections from S&J and Ting & Pixie, so stop in and see what is new!
