Another highlight was when a young teenaged girl looked at herself in one of my lovely handmade mirrors (that I haven't photographed and put up on etsy yet but will soon) and said in disgust"Oh my god, I look like I'm middle aged."
I said "Hey! I'm middle aged."
I had another middle aged moment when a stunningly beautiful young woman and her 2 friends approached the booth. This girl was a Halle Barrie look alike. I was really hoping she'd buy some earrings from me so that when people are staring at her they just might notice the earrings off her perfect face. And then she looked into one of my lovely handmade handmirrors (that I still haven't photographed and put up on Etsy yet but will soon) and said "Your mirrors are beautiful until I looked in them."
Without even thinking I said "You've got to be kidding me. You're gorgeous." Her male friend said yeah, she's beautiful and the girl just got a dopish embarrassed look on her face and slinked off. And I thought there goes yet another twisted female who hates herself and can't see how beautiful she is. And I thought about how often I have felt that way about myself and still do at times and how stupid it is and I really hope I can completely get over all those superficial mental hangups by the time I'm 50.
Here's a picture from our Etsy shop of one of our best selling earrings this weekend that has never sold on Etsy.
They are made with the awesome chinese millefiore glass beads I got at the Eugene Gem and Mineral Show.Perhaps the picture is too blurry and the angle a little messed up to get the true glory of these beads.
Here is the link for them on our Etsy shop.
Now I can no longer ignore the screams of Henry who is demanding that I pay attention to him. Apparently Daddy just won't do, despite multiple "time outs" to try and curb his tantrum.

Congrats on your blog and big sales this week! Glad to have you bloggin now--yet another way to spend time on the "onputer" and drive my kids batty. It's parents like us that ensure the downfall of the computer revolution when our kids grow up. (At least mine will probably plot to wipe out all digtal information and ruin the electronic world). Sorry in advance, folks.
Any misspellings--Felice or Peter?

wish 50 was the magic number but being 51 i can tell you that i have the same thoughts still. why do we beat ourselves up so? kris
Kris-So it ain't gonna happen at 50? I'm just hoping i'll be confident enough to stop pathetically dying my hair by then. It's such a ridiculous waste of time and I'll feel like a real fool if i get some sort of weird head cancer from that nasty stuff.
Thanks P and L
you passed the grammer test today i think.
