Howdy!
Thank you for bearing with me this loooong, cold, winter. I haven't been posting as often as I would like, but now that Spring is just around the corner, I'm getting my groove back and things will once again be hopping right along!! I have been selling a few purses and other fun stuff over on Ebay, and want to remind you that you can order over there too. Here is the link:

I also want to let you know that I will be closing my Etsy store. While I do love the funky junk part of my business, the Etsy store just isn't working for me. It's a lot of work, and I can only put the little stuff that can be shipped on there, and I just don't have the time to do it justice. So, I will be closing the store this week. I have also decided to sell the "junky treasures" I've accumulated, at the Shady Hallow Flea Market this Spring. (Hopefully in May! I'll keep you posted.) I am going to let someone else make something fabulous out of it all. I have found that while I like to make/re-purpose/upscale old junk, I am better at doing it when something inspires me, for me or my friends. Not on a schedule/demand for a show or a market. It took the wind out of my sails and became work instead of fun. So, I will return my focus to my first love, my purses. My funky junk love, will be my hobby to fulfil my need for fun. I truely believe in the old cliche's, "You never know until you try." and "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!!" I do believe this is my 3,577th "try" for the decade. And I'm not out of ideas yet! The ride is far from over. Yee haw!!
Have a WONDERFUL day!

Howdy! Before we get started, you might want to grab a cup of coffee or a glass of wine here, as I tend to ramble a bit...First of all, let me tell you a little bit about the reason for this blog in the first place. You see, I have another blog called, "365 Days Of The Year." Four years ago, I started it as a challenge to post a photo a day on it for a year, and I did! When my year was up, I thought I could just drop it, but I found I missed it. So, instead of the pressure of taking a "picture worthy picture" every day, I just started to post random thoughts and stories of my family and friends, with an occasional picture. After each year, I would have the entire year made into a hard cover book, to some day give to our son Landon. I also have a handbag business that I do on the side from my full time childcare business. Occasionally, I would post on my blog, things about purses or shows/expos that I was doing and it just didn't feel right. It was business and my blog was for family, friends, and my place to go to vent or just tell my little stories. I would also post a bit about business on facebook and that didn't feel right either. Now, I have started to dip my toes in a little crafty stuff. Nothing major, but a little something here and there and I needed a place to put it along with my purses that felt right. That place is here. Here I will post things about purses, re-purposing, flea marketing, or maybe just take you along on a few road trips with me. Wherever it takes us, I hope the trip is as much fun for you as it is for me. Ready to ride?

I know. I know. The length of that purse site link is insane! But, when I created it, I couldn't think of anything short and cute that wasn't already taken, like... "The Swedish Cowgirl." Ha! By the way, I am 1/2 Swedish. On the other side it's a bit Heinz 57. English, Dutch, German, Irish, Chinese and Indian! My dad's side was the wild side! So, it is what it is. I am what I am.
