New Stock is Coming

Had a fabulous weekend - the Township 7 market - despite a drizzly start - was a great event. The sun came out, there was a great band, we had a glass of wine, and really good people there. And trust me, the wine is very nice. If you get a chance to visit the winery or see it listed on a menu - give them a try - I really like the Syrah and the Cab was great too. Also sold some pieces to a very chic boutique in Cloverdale, La Belle Vie. The toile tile pendants are now on sale in the shop and off my site. Will be looking for some more vintage, toile, italian, just funky tiles to solder into more pendants and charms for bracelets. I've restocked with other trinkets though so there will be a new crop of pieces coming to the web soon. Can't wait to make some more collages - and I've been feeling a bit frisky lately so there may be some sensual content.....not smutty - flirty, coy, sexy. As anyone who knows me will attest - I am a total flirt. BTW - we did do the pirate pack thing the other night and my daughter, the bottomles pit, polished off one and then promptly ordered another - and ate that too. She's getting expensive to feed - we're going for sushi tomorrow and I know that she will be ordering a buffet for herself. And no, she's not fat - she is very active with sports and has a jacked up metabolism. So jealous.....

A busy week ahead -
Had a great time at the White Rock Farmer's Market yesterday (www.whiterockfarmersmarket.ca) Lots of great feedback, some good sales, and the weather was fabulous. I've been asked to join the Thursday market now so will head down there this week. It will give me a chance to, hopefully, try out my new wireless credit card terminal. That's right - as of tomorrow (August 5th) I will be able to take Visa, Mastercard and Interac payments at my table. Get my lesson on using the terminal tomorrow so hope it's easy! Come on down and spend some money!! :) I really think it's an important customer service tool to be able to offer that kind of convenience. Then on Saturday - off to Township 7 Vineyards for another market.(www.township7vineyards.com) Should be a lovely day and what a pretty place to be.

Posted all the new soldered pieces today on the website. (took a bit longer than it should have - somehow I managed to delete all of the pictures when I should have been saving them. Figured out how to get them out of the trash finally.....) The tiles and collages are really pretty and so much fun to make. The only thing I have to remember is to stop licking my finger to turn the pages of those old magazines. Ick! 40 year old cooties....

Oh and one more thing - I just wanted to give a sincere thank-you to my family and true friends who have stuck by me and supported me in all of this- whether or not you've bought anything - that's not the point - I just really appreciate your interest in what I am doing, your suggestions and your encouragement. And last week, when I was so excited when I saw that I had a sale online but then saw that whoever had put that purchase through was just pulling my chain with fake information - big thumbs down to you. Obviously, there won't be anything in the mail for you anytime soon.

I've left the minions to their own devices so far but I think we're off to go see Journey to the Centre of the Earth, then maybe a pirate pak at White Spot.
