Stories from someone just fumbling through
Okay, Danielle LaPorte is just fantastic. Just sayin. She had my full attention the moment she began talking about how college is unnecessary for most people. She's the perfect example of someone who's confidence has gotten them farther in life than college ever could. Oh if only I knew then, what I know now, I… Continue reading Fire & Desire…and my crazy biz plan
This month I decided to do something I've never done before, I'm sponsoring two blogs that I look forward to reading each and every day. In return for my sponsorship, they run a Sweet Pea's ad that hopefully drives more traffic (and sales) to my shop. It's a win-win. The first blog is SillyGrrl. Sarah… Continue reading Blogs I adore
My brother has been showing me no mercy in the book department. This past August he gave me about ten more to read and he calls me every week to see how far I've gotten. Geesh! He's a machine, I'm not. I have zero chance of matching his literary prowess, which means I will never… Continue reading I ♥ Fantasy
This weekend = me, you, and some large, tasty, juicy, ripe, delicious, scrumtrulecent tomatoes. Maybe we could wear matching tomato costumes and lose ourselves in the moment? Perhaps do some juggling? Let's do it! I know you want to. The Saugerties Farmers Market is hosting their annual tomato taste-off. Awesome prizes will be given for… Continue reading A ripe weekend ahead
http://youtu.be/Y001O8Azj1U Today I engaged in some soap photography (aka soapy porn) for my Etsy shop and I couldn't help but chuckle at how humorously absurd I am sometimes. Here I am, freshly moved into my new apartment, the neighbors don't know who the heck I am and I'm on my porch wearing Mrs. Roper's muumuu… Continue reading Where is my mind?
I will be at the Saugerties Farmers Market tomorrow for your shopping pleasure, from 10 am to 2 pm. My usual sales will be in full effect. In the meantime, enjoy some photos from last week's Farm Animal Day. What a blast! The event was not short on humorously incongruous moments. For example, there was… Continue reading More market action to be had.
I make it a point to check my spam folder on a semi-regular basis because I know even the good stuff occasionally ends up in that black hole of crap. Well during my scan-o-spam today I came across an email with "quilt" as the subject line. So either the spammers finally figured me out or… Continue reading A philosophical look at teaching
This Saturday, I will once again be at the Saugerties Farmers Market from 10 am to 2 pm so please stop on by. I'd be honored to see your beautiful, smiling mug. The sales are as follows: $1.00 soapy sticks, $2.00 bars of One Delicious Buzz and Benjamin Button, $4.00 glycerin soaps and $5.00 salves.… Continue reading Happenings this Weekend
My dear friend Carrie sent me these two pictures today. I appreciated her timing and the sentiment so much that I thought I'd share the love. Truer words were never written.
You can find me at the Saugerties Farmers Market tomorrow from 10 am to 2 pm. This will be my first market since I've returned from the wild west. Yay! It's good to be back. I'm dying to make some room in my tiny new apartment so salves will be marked down (from $8.50 to… Continue reading Deals Galore Tomorrow
