A little wishlist gathered from PersunMall. Do you ever come across a shop online that at first looks deceiving to not be your personal style, but then when you start going through it you find some true gems? This was one of them for me. I would love to use that leather bag as a camera bag!
Just a little retail daydreaming. Got to do that from time to time.

A little outfit I wore last week when I went with my friend and her kids to the park. It was such a nice morning and so good to spend some time with her. She still has not had her baby, so now we are at the any hour point instead of any day point. At least in my head we are. Ive been on edge for a week now waiting for little Navarro's entrance.
I have a huge pile of new jewelry that needs to be listed in the shop (the necklace above is one of them). So many new pretties. But Im just not sure when Ill get them up. Thank you so much for all the love on my hubby's new Skyline Fever stuff. We are wild about it! I made this announcement on fb, but I should let you guys know too. We only have about 2 of each style and size available. We have to make these in very small batches as we can afford to. So once they are sold out, they are sold out until we can raise enough $ to invest back into it. We wish so bad we could just have a stock room full of all sizes and colors and be able to make customs, but for now its just not that way. But oh how we are dreaming it up for one day!!!
ANNOUNCEMENTS
If you saw my post last night about the Fuck It e-book, I just wanted to announce here that the price has been dramatically reduced! If you bought it already, no worries, you will be refunded! We had a pow-wow and decided we would rather make less money and have the e-book more available to anyone, for the price of a coffee. It's now only $5!!! A steal.
The winner of the Gaia Conceptions giveaway has been announced. It is on the same widget you entered the giveaway on!
A new giveaway is going up in just a bit today, so check back soon over on the giveaway page!

Saturday night we went to see my besties two little kids in their ballet performance. It was her son Xavier's first recital. He was so cute dressed up like a little bear! And Isabel was a bluebird. They were both so precious. Its been so fun to see them over the years at these recitals. My friend is about to give birth to her third child any day now! I can't wait to meet little Navarro. At any time I could be called to rush up to the hospital to be there.
The outfit above is what I wore to the recital. Actually, by the time we left the house, I ditched the sweater b/c it was still too hot outside and wore a vest, and I threw my hair up into a bun. I was sure it would be cool enough by the time we left, but nope!
Today I spent doing household chores, fulfilling a responsibility that I have put off for over a year, and worked more on a huge custom order flag that has been in the works for a long time. Little by little Im getting things done. Sometimes that is the only way it can be done.
Friday when James got home from work we went to the Kerrville Arts & Crafts Fair, a show my parents did my whole life, so I grew up running around there. I haven't been in about 3 years. We mainly went that night because Lady Jane Grey was playing, a local duo that I love. Sadly friday nights there are generally slow and it has poured down rain all day, so there weren't too many people there. But they still sounded beautiful. And when I bought a beer the guy studied for about a whole minute. He did NOT believe I was over 21, much less turning 31 this next month. It was pretty funny. I wonder how old I will be before that stops.
We saw a few of my parents old show buddies and talked to them for a long time. It was so nice, but so sad. One of them didn't know my dad had died so I had to tell him what happened. It was hard, but it was nice to be able to chat with some people who knew my parents so well. Then as we were leaving we ran into the woman who bought my parents jewelry business from us! She had a booth set up there! It was such a nice surprise, I had no idea they were there. It was so cool to see what they were doing with the china and just to catch up in general. It was such a fateful deal. The people who bought my parents business are named Tim & Linda, just like my parents, they have kids the same age as us, they live in the hill country and are obviously artists. There are so many parallels. They even have some of the same mutual friends and my parents never knew! I know my mom would be so delighted if she knew who got the business she worked so hard on for so many years. Im sure she had a hand in it somehow.
The past two days though have been so heavy for me. Im trying really hard to stay in the love and hope vibe that I so need to be in right now, but I feel emotional. Mainly about my parents. I also feel physically drained, and have for a while. After taking some tests online Im pretty sure I have hormonal, adrenal and thyroid imbalances. Which seems crazy for my age, but it explains alot and makes sense with how Ive been feeling for a long time. I ordered vitamins and minerals last night for all of it, and Im going to try my darndest to get into some kind of exercise routine and daily meditation. And change my diet. Im finally going to bite the bullet and go gluten free. Im also discontinuing my morning coffee. That is a HUGE one. But after doing this fast, I realize I wont die without coffee. So, Im going to do it. I will now have hot herbal tea as a replacement. I need to make some major changes, that Ive known for a long time that needed to be made. Its just so easy to keep on going like nothing is wrong. But Id rather reverse it now then when Im really sick. I do NOT ever want to go on meds, so I must be proactive NOW. The hardest part is causing disruption in my home b/c of all the changes. All the things James and I used to eat together that we wont be able to anymore. But I just have to know that this is more important.
