hEY! (gratuitous left my caps lock on so I'll just go with that)
Yep, it's Friday, and I don't know if anyone is still following along after all these months of nothing happening in this space. I just thought I'd pop in now that I'm sort of on a mini-vacation from doing whatever else it is that I do (which to be honest, isn't really all that much).

And suddenly nearly the middle of February.
Does this picture look crooked to you?
I don't know why I'm just now getting back to this. I was being pretty good about posting twice a week for about six months, and then December happened, and like many other bloggers, I decided to take a holiday break. Perhaps I should have said "Hey, I'm taking a break, but I'll be back on this date," and then I would actually go ahead and write a post janet in ft worthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06075018508112203423noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-418575408157862973.post-27840267436858259212018-01-17T16:46:00.000-06:002018-01-17T16:46:54.464-06:00Wishin' and hopin'...

Happy Friday! Running late today, but at least it's still Friday, right? I've spent the week, between other real life things, emailing myself links to fun and interesting stuff I've run across while on my phone. I hope you'll find them equally fun and interesting.

Shameless plug.
Happy Friday. Things are perking along toward Christmas, but thankfully it's still early enough in December that I'm not quite in panic mode yet. I have one last show to do tomorrow.

Five Things.The first Tuesday of December, and a little less than three weeks until Christmas. Time for some jewelry for gifting, selected not just for their simple elegance, but because they should be ready to ship and arrive in time for Christmas. All of these makers are located in the United States, so if you're shopping from another country, be aware of the shipping times shown for your location.

Hello. Happy December. Are you in holiday mode yet? I've been trying to ease into it, but I'm more inclined toward shopping and decorating and making merry than I have been for the last few years. I think perhaps seeing my grandchildren growing faster than I want, and seeing my parents age even more rapidly than ever, has filled me with a need to grab every moment of special that I can find.

My favorite Christmas trees growing up were the years that my mom went minimal and painted a bare branch to hang ornaments from. Some years it was white, and other years it was gold or silver. She used plaster of Paris to secure it into a clay flowerpot painted to match, and it sat on a low end table, atop a white felt runner she embroidered with beaded snowflakes. It usually held ornaments in janet in ft worthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06075018508112203423noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-418575408157862973.post-80086169347025921632017-11-21T08:00:00.000-06:002017-11-21T08:00:12.652-06:00Etsy Tuesday.

Hello there. Friday has rolled around again. It seems like it shows up at least once a week, doesn't it? Maybe not quite as often as Monday, though.
Here are some things that have caught my eye over the last seven days...

Five Things.I've spent the last year or so collecting new art for my walls, in the form of prints and small paintings, to replace the collection of mostly museum exhibition posters that has graced my walls for years. Somehow none of them have made it onto the walls yet, because there has been remodeling promised and delayed.

Hello Friday! I'm looking forward to a weekend without any real commitments other than keeping Nolan for a while on Saturday morning, while Kaylee's soccer game includes an extra hour beforehand for team pictures. Nolan's not really a fan of hanging out at the soccer field when he'd rather be having a nap. I can't say I blame him.
