Another week has flown by

Well another week has flown by. I still remember my grandma telling me how much faster time goes when you are an adult. It is so true. Seems like just yesterday I was enjoying the summer with my friends and getting ready for school. Now my youngest child will be a senior in high school!

One thing that I am thankful for is my family and friends. They have been with us through the tough times and the fun times. Please take time to let your friends and family know how much the are valued.

This Saturday I have decided to set up my bags and jewelry at the Farmers Market in Independence. This is something new for me. I heard they they have a few craft vendors and the fee is very affordable. I am going to try it a time or two and see what happens.

Getting a little discouraged with our craft shows. I understand the economy is not the best so I am trying to stay positive. We always get a lot of nice comments so that is good just need to turn those lookers into buyers!

We are thinking about trying to do a few home shows to see how that would go. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Keeping Up With the Appearances..

Have you ever watched the show on the BBC channel called Keeping Up With the Appearances? It's kind of a funny little comedy about a woman who is trying to be high society but her family keeps bringing her down to the real world. Her name is Hyacinth and all of her sisters have flower names as well. Anyway this title just kind of popped up in my head today when I thought about blogging so that's that. June and July have proved to be very busy months for me.

We had a nice 4th of July weekend. My husband and I went to a T-Bones baseball game which was great and they had a great fireworks display after the game. Then on the 4th my husband daughter and I went up to the square in Independence and enjoyed their fireworks display. We also had a nice 4th of July dinner of cheeseburgers, potato salad, corn on the cob and brownies with ice cream! A big thank you to all the men and women who have and are serving our country!

We have 2 craft shows coming up. This Saturday 7/9 will be at the Bingham Waggoner Estate in Independence and next Saturday will be in Atchison, KS at Amelia Earhart Day. I am hoping for good weather and good luck both days. I am also to offering Free US shipping in July on all my etsy store items.

I hope everyone has a great week!
