I sold some stuff!

Here are a few pictures from yesterday's show. I actually had the chance to have my stuff at another one on Sat. afternoon. Both days, I sold 14 rings, which turned out to be the big hit, and 7 pins, a few cards and a couple of headbands. It was really cool to hear what people thought of my stuff (or my "babies" as Robin likes to call her stuff, which is true because you grow attached to the things you make in a weird way and then when they sell you have a quick goodbye moment when you wish it well and hope you taught it everything it needed to know to be a good headband, pin, ring, etc.). Anyway, it was a lot of fun and I have lots more ideas swirling around in my head. Robin (my craft/social media coach :) is also telling me to get an Etsy shop. I'm considering the idea or maybe another blog devoted exclusively to my "babies".

Here's my little setup...

And here's the backside of Robin's display. (Anyone looking for some great, handpainted Christmas ornaments? They can be personalized!! http://www.etsy.com/shop/lemonswithapea)

If your in the Asheville area...COME!

Clean Window

Today I'm enjoying a beautifully clean bay window that my mother-in-law so nicely cleaned for us. She saw a job that needed doing and she did it :) Thanks Terry! How come I didn't notice it had gotten so bad? I sure noticed a difference when it was clean though...and I'm still noticing it actually, each time I sit down by it or walk in front of it I see the trees clearer and the sun brighter and the leaves more golden. I could draw so many parallels to my life here. I won't, but I could, and this sentiment is definitely stirring around inside of me these days.

Jack and Terry did so much work on our house--mostly the bathrooms, but I mean we have an entirely new, updated 1/2 bath!! There is still work to be done, we of course we are being lazy and putting off now, but it is getting closer and closer to the finished product. We'll get pictures up as soon as we're done. Hopefully we'll make some major headway this weekend.

Charlotte is standing and pulling up these days...it's like I'm watching her go from being a baby to being a toddler already! We are enjoying playdates with our friends and the opportunity to watch some of our friend's kids. She's doing great with solid food and figured out how to wave. Waving is like the first real, visible, interactive connection we are seeing her make and it's so fun! We were Charlotte's Web characters for Halloween. Here are some pictures and a video from the last few weeks...
