I want one of these!





When I saw this I made my husband backup so I could take pictures....and drool! I have wanted a panel truck for longer than I can remember.

When I was growing up in Orange County California we had a Helms Bakery truck that would come by in the mornings. It was a yellow panel truck. If mom was in a good mood she would let us go out and buy donuts.

The driver would open the back of the truck and pull out trays of donuts...what a treat!

Ican Iphone blog

Ok it must be really bad when your boss tells you to do a blog post! I knew that I had to find a way to do this with my IPhone. I bought a new lap top but it is so heavy! I got greedy and bought a 17 inch screen, and that is heavy. So let's see if I can be more attentive to my blog this way. I am including a little shot from my antique shop.

so hopefully I will be popping in to post like I should ......right Cynthia!?!

Cotton Candy Skys

This morning as I was getting out of my car the pink of the sky caught my eye...the photographer in me would just not let me move on...now mind you it was 14 degrees, I only had my Iphone camera, which will not work with gloved fingers! but I had to stop and capture this sky. What a lovely way to begin your day....
and if you wanted to add a little more Cotton Candy pink to your day how about this Goats Milk Honey Body Butter?
I'm thinking a hot bath to sooth frozen fingers, pink body butter and Raspberry marshmalows to finish out the day!


Sounds like Joy to me!


Joy....................all ways!

When fashion comes before warmth...


I always seem to find a coat to buy every year. This year the coat of my dreams....was sold out before I found it...so sad...until I found the next coat of my dreams....funny how it works out like that.



I found this dream coat on Etsy...Crows Cloth

And what a wonderful coat it is. It also helps me maintain my commitment to buy from the artist working day and night to support the dream of not working a 9-5 support job. Two dreams coming true.

Joy.....always

I missed you boots!

The one great thing about seasons...you get to rekindle friendships. This weekend I dugout my favorite gloves. While getting dressed today I found these boots tucked away in the closet. Thank you fall for bringing around old friends!

Joy....all ways

Still life

That really is dust on my camera! I noticed that I was not myself. Not quite able to put a finger on it. Was I a little depress that my son had left our home and the dynamics had changed. Yes, I'm sure a bit...but something else....what is it.....IT was a stuttering heart attack. I had a heart attack over a six day period. The only symptom was a bit of discomfort in the middle of my chest. When it wouldn't go away I was encourage to go to urgent care...and this is when my life took a spin! I was told that I was having a heart attack and rushed into surgery. I am now trying to get a bit of life back however the meds are knocking me for a loop. I feel blessed to be alive as family history has not been kind to our family. I was surprised as I have never been healthier than this time of my life......so all you woman out there remember....we do not have the usual signs of a heart attack....seek attention for those simple pains...better safe than not. Now I'm working on getting the meds changed so I don't feel like I'm dragging an anchor....soon to me my joyful self again!!!!

Joy..............always

Life took me so far away....

Family day.....many tears of joy!
BoldLiberty in Charleston SC, on Liberty St.! What a place to chow down after 13 weeks of mess hall food! He ordered a peanut butter and banana sandwich at Justine's and I thought the waitress was going to go crazy...she sounded like his mother, with a need to feed! He ate his sandwich and then more off others plates and finished off with a peach and blueberry cobbler.


When he saw the Apple store we lost him...this kid eats,sleeps breathes technology, so imagine 13 weeks without it! We bought 2 Iphone 4 to make the next separation a bit easier.
Home and his girl in his arms, his Iphone fully charged and a movie on the computer, his heaven!
I must say I will miss the letter writing. It is quite a different thought process. It really makes you tune in to you day. I think I will find another service man to write to that needs encouragement. I know my son said so sincerely that it was the letters that kept him going.

I'm going to enjoy the 10 days he has home and then try to get back to creating...it has seem to slip to the rear of things to do,but has been very missed!

Joy.........................all ways!
