One more time..or- it'll work out, it always does...

This is the 3rd time that I have had to start over with the blog. In my previous blog, I was writing that while I am out and about in town or at the beach, I think of creative blogs, attention grabbing, something my 1 follower will just fall in love with!! Hi Jewelsthings LOL So, now that I am sitting here on my daughters laptop that she let me borrow- thanks Aubrey- I have nothing to say. I am drawing a blank. I feel like I should write a note to Jewelsthings, since she is my only follower LOL

oh- what happened to the other 2 blogs you ask? Weelllll...I don't know what I'm doing here and there are icons to click, I guess the SAVE YOUR WORK mantra fits here as well as when working in Word or any other program for that matter! Yeah, I learned it the hard way.

One thing I have done since my last blog, I have decided to turn my hobby (making jewelry and selling cool vintage items) into a business. Right now, its in the form of an etsy shop. I have had a few sales, and now its like someone turned the faucet off. When the faucet was running, I thought having a business was a good idea. I don't know about this now and its only been a month! I'm not giving up. In fact, I'm going to continue to make jewelry and then have a "Open House". I hope it will generate some sales for the month of July as I am currently on a Buying Ban LOL It'll all work out, it always does!!

Please feel  free to post any comments, suggestions, ideas, etc about having a jewelry open house or turning my hobby into a business. God idea? Bad idea? No response?? LOL

That's OK, it'll all work out, it always does :)

The great finding of Mr. Burner- an incense burner tale

Hello!
I must say I am pretty excited to be doing this Blog. Sharing with you my random thoughts and purpose filled posts. Now I need to find some readers....todays exciting news is my great finds of yesterday!!

We have a thrift store in town, its called Noahs Arc. The money they get from purchases helps pay the staff, rent on the building, the general expenses of a store and the best part of all, they help ARC, another local organization for adults with disabilities. ARC Nassau primarily serves individuals with cerebral palsy, autism, spina bifida, Prader-Willi syndrome and varied mental disabilities.If you would like more information, here is the link http://arcnassau.org/.

Now for the cool stuff I picked up yesterday! First I have to tell you that I went up there for 1 item in particular, a handmade incense burner. I had been in there the week prior and looked at it but at the time, didnt really have an interest in it so, I left it on the shelf. I guess this thing had a spirit because it followed me home and I have thought about it all week!! I could not wait until Tuesday (one of my thrifting days) to go back and buy this poor lost soul and give it a new temporary home.

Upon entering the store, I got distracted by a few other items, of course, so it took me a few minutes to get to where I had left it the week before. As I approached the section of the shelf where I had placed it, my heart sank. It was gone! Then I realized, it had been a full 7 days since I was there last. Did I really think that something as marvelous as this muted dark colored handmade with love incense burner would still be there? YES!! I did, I had its soul so yes, I did expect it to be there waiting for me. I looked frantically, maybe it was moved to the plate section? When, it caught my eye, it sent me a signal (smoke of course), the sky opened, I heard angels and my eyes came to rest on my find of the week!

Love, Peace and Happiness~

Hippy Cheeks!
