El Reno Road Trip

We embarked on a quick road trip to El Reno, Oklahoma to pick up Christmas toys for the children that come to the community center where I work. My Grandmother donated and collected donations for the kids. She, my Grandmother is truly a special person. She is so selfless and gives freely.

I scored a vintage Bulova out of the trip.

On the way back to Dallas, I couldn't help but notice how beautiful the sky appeared as the sun was setting. There were so many shades of blue, lavender, yellow, and orange. It was absolutely stunning.

Good Thursday Morning

Hello Everyone....I hope you all have had a wonderful week thus far.....Charles and I have been extremely busy....we launched an online bookstore and have been working diligently to acquire interesting books for our beloved customers.

I have taken a special interest in vintage and classic books. It has been such a fun challenge to locate past favorites and items I remember from childhood. In addition to the classic and vintage books, I decided to incorporate board and card games. I hope you all will check the site from time to time and see what we have available.

I took a break from the Etsy store but will be back in full swing at the beginning of March. I have decided to enlist the help of my daughter, sister, mom, grandmother, and niece in this adventure. They all are so very talented.

I want to send a special "shout-out" to our followers and my swap buddy for the Alice in Wonderland event.....Blessings....(Namaste).....

Our OWOH winner was tanya904. Tanya you will be receiving your goodies within the week...enjoy.

Well, all, I am off of here for now but will be back this evening to tell you all about my meeting with Dr. Cornel West......it is bound to be a ball and I feel so Blessed and Privileged to be in his presence.

Back from Break

Charles and I decided to take a small break from the blog to get some of our other projects organized. I am pleased to announce that the Etsy store is coming along nicely and the book site is almost up and running.

Charles came up with the idea of crafting netbook skins; so, we have been experimenting with a variety of materials to perfect this concept. We have also been madly hunting cool foreign books to upcycle into journals and fabulous vintage finds to add to the Etsy shop.

We have decided that we are going to participate in the OWOH challenge this year and look forward to gifting fabulous upcycled greeting cards. We plan to incorporate vintage buttons and fabrics into the designs. So stay tuned and check back regularly.
