This just might be the cutest thing I ever did see.
It's a good thing it was already sold out once I saw it, or else I probably would have made a completely impractical impulse buy! (impractical because I don't really wear rings.) The rest of her stuff doesn't excite me quite as much.
So we've been really busy, between prepping for holidays, being gone for the holidays, and recovering from the holidays. There are things I've meant to post that I just haven't had time to do. Not that I have time now; I'm at work and stuff. But I just remembered that I meant to post this and if I don't do it now, I'll forget forever.
My friend Kim has an Etsy store with some great paintings that you should check out. I got a set of Christmas cards from her to send to people for Christmas, they were photographs of some of the paintings she has for sale. And she's selling stuff for super-cheap, so if you see something you like you should snatch it up soon!
If you're overwhelmed by the thought of asking for more "stuff" for Christmas (or people gifting you stuff even though you didn't ask for it), try asking for something a little different this year... like a sheep, or a crocodile, or an irrigation system. Not for you, of course, but for people for whom a gift like this could change lives. Oxfam Unwrapped has a ton of new gift ideas since the last time I talked about them, so you should check it out and see if there's anything in there that strikes your fancy.
I know that personally I'm afraid to give these gifts to most of the people I need to get gifts for, because I'm afraid of offending them by not giving them something tangible that can clutter up their homes. Maybe I'm totally misguided, but I keep hearing everyone's unenthusiastic "uh.. thanks... this is... just... great," when I think of giving these gifts. So if you would like something like this, make sure to tell people so that they know this is a gift you would enjoy. I'm all for it, in case you were wondering. :-)
So I did some freelance work for a woman I used to work with in Vidalia, for her soap company. She makes it all from home, so I exchanged work for soap. Today the box of soap came! I'm pretty excited to have yummy soap for a while. My eczema on my hands totally cleared up when I started using only organic soap, so I'm happy to be stocked up for a while.
If anyone else wants some yummy soap, you can order it from her website. I think she's also got some at Wild Fibre in Savannah.
