Kuriosities

Not too much to write tonight. Life is exceedingly busy. Lots of orders and chaos with some supplies mix ups, where I was sent something that was inferior to what I had ordered, but already had about 25 customers waiting for. I somehow magically (read with some diligent sleuthing) found a new better supplier within an hour of the supply crisis, ordered new pieces and had them shipped speedily and averted  a disaster. Hurray! The previous supplier apologised, and will take back the crummy pieces too. Stressful yes, but fixed in no time flat. And now I have another supplier to add to the list -AND even better they will do small run custom castings for me (as well as large runs) so I am set for some future projects that I have.

Also, the van died. It didn’t die a nice slow death where I could go out and buy a new one. It just died, suddenly and altogether. The transmission has cracked open. <sigh> I do not like cars much, and I like car shopping less. And worse is that we now have no car to shop for our new car in. Luckily  friends have come to our rescue with the offer of their van for the day. So hopefully, we will have a new van tomorrow – but a lot of pressure for one day’s shopping. I am not looking forward to it at all.

Some photos to post and then I am off to beds…

It’s all about the skirts and the boots…oh, and the sexy dodge ram pick-up! (nothing is hotter than a 20 year old farm truck. seriously. nothing.) I love this picture.

Laughing on the truck…

I think I am getting better at jewelry photography…I am liking how these are turning out lately – and the fresh flowers from the garden are so lovely. Just a simple silver ring with a tiny little rustic heart.

Home is where the heart is… (or alternately ”just looking for a home” ) copper bird’s nest pendant with blue lace agate eggs and a sterling silver heart bead.
