WELCOME~

Growing up in a small town, we didn't have housing developments. What we had were streets lined mostly with trees and homes built by individuals. I remember when a small housing development began across town and I couldn't help but think how weird it was that a bunch of mostly identical homes were being built so close to each other... it was stark,ugly, and made me uncomfortable. I remember thinking I'd never live in a housing development..I'd always be in my own unique space. I was very young and I was very wrong. I didn't end up in a sunny cottage on the edge of town or a small farm out in the boonies.. I have landed in a house that's just like every 4th or 5th house in a housing development in small town suburbia. I realized that regardless of where you are..or what cookie cutter home one lives in, there are a buh-zillion and one ways to make it your own. From my own little suburban *cottage* you will find me posting anything from cooking to sewing to flower watching.. people watching, short stories, poetry, rants, raves and anything else you can imagine~ Please stay awhile, explore all little parts of my life. You may find your self, laughing, rolling your eyes, disgusted, inspired, aggravated, happy, ect ect ect..
Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing in my joy~

No walk today~

Nope,  I called it last night,  no walk today. The weather is weird, sometimes it's over cast, sometimes the sun peeks through. There is just enough humidity in the air to make me fee sticky and ick. Over all the biggest reason for no walk is I'm just lazy today. I mostly want to piddle around my house, watch a little television.
   I did wander around in my own back yard, and it seems to me the leaves on my Japanese maples have exposed themselves overnight!  I walked out to a burst of pretty green and red color from my trees and bush. I love my trees,  the artful and delicate way the limbs grow, each tree has a personality of it's own and I love to watch their slow growth year after year.  I took a quick pic ...It's so amazing and hauntingly beautiful..at least until it rains again.

 Beyond loving my small outdoors, I've been fondling the idea of starting up an Etsy shop. I've always loved crafts and handmade items, It's nothing I'd try to make a living at, but more for just the pure joy of making something pretty and sharing it with the world. Finding joy is one my goals.. finding joy in everything i do..
If you've never visited Etsy before then you are truly missing out. It's kind of like an internet galleria of mini shops. Each little *shop* is owned by one person or a group of persons. Items up for sale have to be handmade or vintage. There are specific outlines but the boundaries aren't so strict that you can't enjoy making a few things and posting them to sell.  So much nicer than eBay in many ways. Cheaper to operate too. Not  trying to dis all up on eBay.. it certainly has it place.. but think of eBay as the Kmart of online biz and compare to Etsy who appears calmer and more upscale. So if you are an eBay fan don't be hatin' on me.. I'm just pointing out the difference.

  If and when I open an etsy shop I will for sure post it.. but for now..I'll continue to fondle.

I have errands to run and hair to cut so I'll be back later..
