Of Many Things

I had grand plans for this quiet Saturday evening. Well, more like homework, really. I am submitting an article for publication and it is due to the magazine on Friday. It is mostly written but needs some editing and tweaking. However, technology is failing me tonight. I’m unable to log in to my work computer […]

All Good Things Come To An End

The last night of a conference is always bittersweet. Every bone in my body is ready to head back to Arkansas, to the Sweet Boy, to the Schmoo cat and to my own bed, but a part of me wants to stay immersed in this environment. My brain wants the continued wealth of knowledge that […]

To Take a Moment

I just need to take a moment… … a moment to slow down, to breathe, to enjoy life as it comes, to watch a sunset, to listen to a thunderstorm. I just need to take a moment for myself. Life has come fast and heavy since my last post. After returning home from the conference, […]

Sorry to be so bland…

I just reread my previous post. Sorry it’s bland. I’ve lost my snarky writing style and I promise you this… I swear, upon all that is holy and sacred in the blogging world, that I will make sure to find my humor and snark before writing another blog post. Perhaps I’ll find it in NYC […]

It’s here!

My sister and me after 3 days of getting ready to open our Flea Market booth No, not 2011… although it is most certainly and without a doubt here… but I’m talking about the Junque Rethunque booth at the Fayetteville Trading Post. My sister and I spent the better part of the past 3 days […]

My Greatest Fear

Before I traumatize you with a terrible story, I’ll show you my latest yarn. It will break your heart (it broke mine). Enough yarn. I came to a point tonight when I found myself facing something quiet ugly. It was hideous… scary… frightening… not for the faint of heart… and definitely not for the eyes […]

Happy Dance

This is me… happy dancing all over the place. Okay, so you can’t see me dancing, but I promise you, it’s good. I created my first newsletter tonight. If you didn’t get one and want to partake in the 15% discount then fill out the appropriate information over here —————————————————> You’ll be sorry if you […]

A Promise

Dear soon to be 30 year old self… …I promise to stay true to myself, even if that means finding myself again …I promise to let my mouth be the voice my mind so desperately needs …I promise to do better about finding you handmade tortillas more than once a year …I promise to stay […]

I need help. There. I said it. That wasn’t so bad, was it? I typically pride myself in my creative organizational skills but I’ve hit a wall with my latest project. My jewelry supplies used to live happily on my sun porch. They were all nicely stacked and tucked away on shelves underneath a vintage […]

Peeking out from the piles

I’m purposefully taking time to peek out from behind the piles of boxes and books and other crud to say that I’m still alive. I’ve been in my new place for the past two weeks and still it looks like we JUST moved in. The Sweet Boy mentioned that this is the first place we […]
