Oh, how pitiful!

I can't believe it's been so long since I blogged! We're leaving for our vacation in sunny Washington, where the mountains are high and internet access is sporadic. My final act of art was making this page for a collaborative calendar.

Here's my page - it's my birthday!

A good shipping day, I think...

Today I finished packing up a mongo huge Uncommon Goods order, and I even signed up online with UPS to come pick up the package. Oooh, technology. They haven't come yet, though... am I worried? What can brown do for me? Yikes!

And I made this pendant:



On the back it says, "She Should Have Gone To Charm School." I don't know if anyone else should have gone to charm school, so who knows if this one will sell, but I do like that birdie with the McKenzie Childs hat! That kind of birdie is called a rollerbirdie, if official parlance...

Hmmmm... wonder if UPS is here yet?

How rich would I have to be...

to justify spending 307 dollars plus shipping on a handbag? For a long time now (well, long for my tiny little brain) I've been searching the web - mostly Etsy - for the perfect new backpack/handbag to make me smile and fit me juuuuust right. Finally I googled 'recycled handbag' and found THIS!! I love love love these bags - but I don't think I'd ever spend that kind of money! Ooh, maybe I could justify it if I was in England. Yeah, that's it...I'll save on shipping! So I'll go to Cornwall and THEN it would be worth it, 'cause then it would be only 150 bucks. Even if the bucks were pounds...

My favorite part of the website is when they say:

Addicted to fabrics, colours & textures? Not grown up enough for a real handbag?
Pockets not big enough anymore? Still six years old at heart?
If you answered yes to any of the above, read on!

I answer yes to all of the above!!
