A Jersey Girl With Cowboy Boots?

You bet your sweet bippy! When Hubby and I first started dating, I spotted a black pair of cowboy boots that were calling my name. Unfortunately, they were out of my price range. Well, being the romantic that he is, Hubby bought them and surprised me. That was about 20 years ago. Those black boots were loved and worn to the end. They were resoled three times and when the fourth time came around, they were too worn out to replace. The only remedy would have been duct tape. I wasn't going there. I managed to live without cowboy boots for two years. I could never find the right ones. UNTIL.... My Hubby bought me a gift certificate this past Christmas to a Tac shop a couple of towns over. We went to visit, but no boots were calling my name. Hubby actually put a 'bug' in the owner's ear and she ordered me new boots. RED BOOTS! THEY ARE FINALLY HERE! I WORE THEM TO WORK TODAY! I was like a kid with new sneakers. I wanted to wear them out of the shower, to work, to Princess' LaX practice and in my pj's! My Hubby is going to have to remove them when I'm asleep! I L-O-V-E THEM! I know not everyone will understand, but that's ok. Like Hubby says, "As long as you like them dear!" He's a keeper! (and so are the boots!)
ps the UGLY rug is at work!

They're Here!

Finding a few hours after work during the week and a few minutes on the busy weekends, the coop and the chicken yard are finally finished. Phew! My Hubby and my Princess went to Salem Feed and Grain Store and picked out their hens. There's one Buff, two RI Reds and two white Delawares. As if you can't tell by the HUGE smile on her face, my Princess is so excited! I think she would have slept with them if Daddy allowed! I'll keep you posted on Farmer Princess and Farmer Hubby. Oh, we introduced Pat the Cat and Skippy Doodle to the hens, and neither seemed to care a bit. BONUS!

More Frozen Charlottes!

Yes, I'm still addicted to the littles! These Frozen Charlottes are lots of fun to work with. I have so many cute ideas....I can't work FAST ENOUGH! As you may well know, I LOVE THE FLEA MARKET! I scored some old tins, took them apart and made these assemblages with the Charlotte's. I used a combination of old and new goodies. It's hard to pick a favorite. Here is a sampling. Another fact about me, I will never be a prize winning photographer! Check out the littles on my ETSY. Enjoy!

Button, Button, Who's Got the Button?

There was an azaming booth at the Sheep and Wool Festival....It was ALL BUTTONS! New ones, old ones, shell ones, bakealite ones, stone ones, rhinestone ones, you name it, they were there! I fell under the vendor's spell, and purchased some 'stack' buttons to make myself a ring and necklace. When I got home and into my studio, I could've kicked myself! I have TONS of buttons! A LIGHT BULB WENT ON IN MY HEAD! So, I decided to make my own button stacks and button jewelry to sell. They are already available and listed on my site. Check them out. Let me know what you think.
