Here's a picture of the Colorado Rockies. And if we get to their cabin in the mountains I'll be sure to post picture of their spectacular view!
Until then enjoy your summer!

Vacation!!!
Yeah, the DH and I are on vacation after work today. Early, early, early tomorrow morning we'll leave to drive to Colorado to visit JW and her DH. I can't wait. The DH and I love taking road trips together. We sing, and talk with southern accents and make each other laugh. I've copied recipes I want to make with JW cause that's the kind of vaca it's going to be. Just chilln' with good food and good company. And maybe a specialty martini or two!

Here and Gone!
I know June just started, but for me it's already over. I have so much going on! But I do apologize for not blogging regularly!
Bead and Button was amazing as always! I always bring cash les I forget what I charge like the first year!!! Thanks to a wonderful DH who bailed my ass out!
This year my plan was to stash half my cash in a money belt that you wear under your clothing, so as not to spend it all at once. Well it almost worked too well, with an hour left to shop I still had half my cash! In my mad dash to the bathroom I forgot to jot down the places I found with the best prices! Which also meant the last hour was then wasted trying to FIND these places once again! Alas I still had $38 when they closed! I'll just have to keep going back until I perfect my strategy ;-)
This past weekend was my first Art Fair of the year. All in all I did pretty well. Unfortunately there was a huge storm coming our way with 70 mph. winds, so we all shut 'er down an hour early and headed for the buses to take us to where our cars were parked. After dropping off a friend I was 4 blocks from home when mother nature slapped us in the face with a wet dish rag! Pulling up to our house in time to see the garbage can lids fly up in the air. (FYI it always rain on garbage day!) I got out of the car and through them into the culver before I would have to hunt them down in the neighborhood! In the 20 seconds I was out I got drenched!!!
Arriving at the show the next morning and finding out one out of the two tents, MINE, had blown up and over a foot! I was lucky nothing broke and after straightening out everything it looked good to go. The day was sunny with a nice breeze. Though I hoped to do a little better, you can't complain working outside on a day like that in a summer dress and barefoot! Plus I had a blast chatting with my neighbor Michelle.
Friday we leave for a road trip to Colorado to visit my sis and her husband, we can't wait. All I can say is there is never a dull moment with JW!
I was trying to find some little excursions to go to on the way, really hoping Curious Sofa would be close enough to stop in and shop for an hour or three! Turns out it's more like and all day adventure than an excursion so guess not. So if you know of any great place to see between Chicago and Colorado please leave a comment and let me know!
I spent the morning catching up on all the blogs I read. Check out this incredible artist who paints with staples! That's right people this picture is made up of all staples!

It's a steal!!!
Some people think the prices on my jewelry are a little high. I just spent the last 4 hours putting 3 new pieces on etsy. The hours I spend doing this alone could equal the price, forget how long it takes to sew one little bead at a time!
That said, click on the picture to go to my esty shop. I'm uploading all (12) new pieces through the next week. Just a few everyday so my shop is at the top of searches.
Don't you just love this color combination? Very summer picnic in the park! I must admit if this one doesn't sell, I'm going to keep it.

Foodie Friday!
Back when I planted my garden I didn't really know what I was doing. A lot of what I planted were plants that spread. Some I knew would do that, and was OK with because I thought, good less plants to buy! WRONG! Don't make that mistake, because the fact is they will take over your garden! And they won't stop EVER! I'm the kind of girl who likes to turn lemons into lemon drops! So with the mint that I can not get rid of to save my soul, I plan on making this
Minus the chips because I like smooth creamy ice cream!!!
It will taste soooo good after throwing all that mulch that's in our driveway!
And so would this if I had it of course!
