GOING CRAZY LISTING HERE!

Whoever said 

ETSY IS EASY

might have been telling a lie...

and YOU know who YOU are!

Anyway,

It takes time to get things ready,

photograph them,

resize them for Etsy,

research pricing 

(if you can FIND pricing)

figure out shipping costs 

if you are going to include that...

and then just jump through the hoops

to get the listing up and running.

Yeah--

It's a lot of work

but, so far,

I LOVE ETSY.

(ask me tomorrow- I might change my mind)

Here's what I listed in the shop today:

Cottage On The Cove

Pop over HERE if you have time.

And, as always, 

Thanks for taking a peek!!

FALL IS IN THE AIR-AND If You Visit Me At The VA YOU Might Be Falling Down

I really need to get myself in gear,

get my pictures loaded onto my computer,

get them to Picmonkey,

 and then share them here.

I am WAY behind in doing that.

Not that I have anything else to do or anything.

So, that being said-

I have a few shots of the dining room dressed

as it was for Fall.

Here is the bombe chest

with Grandmother Clara's 

Silver Tea Service-
It needs a good polishing right now....

From a bit further back...

Did you notice my little lamps are

WEARING HATS?

I got those after season last year.

They are DOG HATS 

from the Pet Section....lol

I think I paid 50 cents apiece for them.

The dining room table arrangement

started with my old turquoise basket.

The little old blue level is from my farmhouse.

It was along the cellar wall.

See the MIX sign tucked down in there?

It was "stolen" by my girls from an abandoned building where my father used to go.

I have no idea where it came from.

The POE card/tag was part of a giveaway from 

Vera-Row Homes & Cobblestones 

a couple of years ago.

My poor crow 

is looking a little worse for the wear.

Looks like he got in a fight 

with another crow and lost.

And just a peek at 

the backside:

I am loving the blue mixed in with 

the colors of fall here this year.

Lots of other stuff to show you

when I get my pictures loaded so 

BEAR WITH ME!

Oh- and did YOU get YOUR flu shot yet?

We HAVE to have them to work at the 

VA Center.  

I never get them but I sure would not want

to infect any of our older vets-

many of whom are already in 

weakened physical conditions-

so, I will have to get one next week.

I have never had the flu in my life-

knock on wood-

(or laminate-your choie)

I am thinking about offering 

those sweet old veterans

FLU SHOTS

right at the front desk.

Aww...C'mon

It's the Irish in me.

It would make me father proud!

And, I would actually give them

out for free.

Don't you wish you were in my line?

Have a Happy Wednesday!


I have a few new things listed today
in my Etsy shop if you are interested..

SOME NEWS FOR YOU-----POP BY MY OTHER BLOG

I have some

STEALS AND DEALS

over there for you today.

Better hurry!!!

Click here to see what's up 

over THERE at

A Cottage On The Cove!

WHO'S THE APPLE OF MY EYE? IS IT Susie @ She Junks?

BIMBO, BOMBO,

TOMKIN PIE.

She's  the apple of my eye

Swing her low or swing her high.

She's the apple of my eye.

The original poem says HE but...

I took a little liberty there..

If you have never read 

FATHER FOX'S PENNYRHYMES

you have missed something

WONDERFUL!

My friend, Judy Tower,

(I have sadly lost touch with her-

if you read this Judy-please call me)

gave me this book and it soon

became my children's favorite.

Speaking of friends,

I was

SO VERY LUCKY

to meet Susie,

from the  SheJunks blog.

A REAL LIVE BLOGGING FRIEND!

You KNOW how sweet Susie is on her

blog and leaving comments in blogland?

Well, she is even sweeter in real life!

I don't think either of us felt

the least bit awkward when we met.

She is a very pretty lady

and a lot of fun!

I was lucky enough to meet her 

sweet daughter, too.

We met at Horton's in Tipton, IN.

Susie only lives about a half-hour from my daughter, Mimi.

We talked so much I don't remember

half of what I saw at Horton's

but it is a FANTASTIC PLACE.

I will write more about that another time.

Right now-

I need to get busy because I have been 

a bit lazy since I got home.

I left Indiana the day after Jason's surgery.

He is doing well and thanks

you for the prayers.

So...I will say..

TaTa for now

and head on down the lane--

just like little Miss BrightEyes.

She has two lines for me-

She wakes me up with 

"Good morning, Beeyoutuful"

and when she turns her back on

me like you see below

she calls out over her shoulder...

"Go 'Way, Nana"

Sigh....

So---off I go.....

Next week I'm gonna have a 

NEW APPLE OF MY EYE...

It might be one of these three!

Or....maybe not.....
