an ode to friendships….

What is it about friendships that make us cry, laugh, love, behave like babies, and make us downright silly? I know for myself, that I treasure good friendships. Why are true, meaningful friends so hard to find?

Oh, I have a lot of friends, but true friends, those that truly, and I mean truly care about me, and what goes on with even the mundane little things in life, I can count on one hand.

I’ve lost good friendships over silly things. I’ve seen friends behave like i don’t even know who they really are, and wonder what is it that I first saw in them.

Who wouldn’t want a true, real friendship?

I’ve come to know some pretty wonderful friends through this blog, and you are so inspiring, you are, and you.

Friendships. Here is to a new year of getting to know you better.

A surprise visit….

Why is it when you most need the camera, that it’s not available?
So sorry for the awful photo, it’s with the camera phone:(
Etsy girls were in the house today, it was so exciting.
Alyssa, the one in the middle, has the Etsy shop Revamp Boutique.
The one on the right is Vana, and her shop is Le Papier Designs.

It’s so fun to see “word of mouth” customers come in, because that is really how my shop operates. No budget for advertising! Thanks girls for popping in!

Now look at these AWESOME skeleton keys! My good friend Tracy, who also is customer #1, brought me these keys! Just gave them to me, out of the blue!

yippeee…….
