Working at the desk

If it is necessary to have lunch at your desk, you might as well treat yourself. This lunchbox that I found at my favorite antique store in Sinton has lots of character. I love the little push button closure. I wonder how many lunches it has carried in its lifetime?

Happy Independence Day!

Light up those sparklers! It's time to celebrate!!

Featured on Etsy!

How cool is that? One of the buyers on Etsy, bdpayne, featured my little baby shoes on her Etsy Treasury! Wasn't that sweet of her? Thanks, Dianna!!

Sinton score

She shopped. She scored! I met my friend, Betty in Sinton yesterday for lunch and shopping. We had a lovely lunch at Odom's. Jean serves a wonderful chicken salad. YUMM! After lunch,we hit 3 wonderful antique shops. I love small towns!

I've missed you!

For the past six weeks or so, I have been working at a full-time temporary job. I may be called to work from time to time, but for now, I am finished. I was working quality control with the U. S. Dept of Commerce, U. S. Census. It was very interesting work, but it left me with no time to keep up with my blog friends. In the next couple of weeks, I hope to get "caught up" with each of you! I have a feeling I have missed much.

I "heart" you too!

I appreciate each and every one of you who have "hearted" me on Etsy. Thank you so much for making me feel so loved! If one of these hearts are yours, please leave a comment and let me know how you found me. Thanks!

Drumroll, please!

First of all, I would like to thank each and every one of you for stopping by. I enjoy the visits and lovely comments. I also enjoy stopping by your blogs and seeing what you are up to. Well, here goes . . . Good luck to each of you!

Jumping up and down

Can you see me? I'm jumping up and down. I made Etsy Finds today! I was reading the email and thought to myself, "Those look familiar". As soon as I realized why they looked so familiar, I let out a whoop and jumped up and down in my chair. I just think that is just too cool.
