The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

I am never sure which I dislike more~ being in pain and not knowing why but still going about my daily activities ~or~ going to the doctor and finding out that is causing the pain and being told I cannot do certain activities. Well the good news is I will heal. The bad news is that I more than likely have torn the cartilage in my knee. It seems to be healing already, that is a good indicator. The ugly is that I have to wear a big. black, ugly leg immobilizer for two weeks. As my leg is immobilized straight, there will be no sitting at the wonderful new Husqvarna in my wonderful studio. But this, too, shall pass.

MMP Friday Shopping Event January 7th "Winter Romance"

When I was a young woman, the two simple words “Winter Romance” had a much different meaning than it does now. Today, I find romance in so many different things. The soft glow of an antique boudoir lamp, the faint etching of roses on a glass vase.  An eiderdown comforter, with a covering of pink roses, folded at the foot of my bed.

When I hear the words winter romance, it conjures up images of creamy white roses, arranged in an antique cut-work glass vase. A soft fire glowing, the fire light dancing off the teardrop crystals that drape from the chandelier. A book of old poems, laying in wait upon a down floor cushion.

An heirloom bracelet, with clusters of pink roses, or something as simple as a soft dusting of snow, beyond the warmth of creamy velvet drapes, is enough to capture the feeling of a winter romance.

Please visit the boutiques at Make Mine Pink and have a little winter romance of your own.

Expect Delays

So sorry~ but shipping has been delayed! I have injured my knee and I am not functioning well and since the 2 college girls are back in classes ~ I am doing things on my own. Oh~ I wish I could tell you that I injured my knee in some skiing accident on the slopes of Aspen or in a mad crush at Macy's After-Christmas Sale, or racing sprint cars on the speedway~ but alas I injured it by helping the divine-and-long-suffering Mr. C'est Chouette clean out the garage. I knew I should have stayed in my studio ~ but seriously my studio re-do caused the mess in the garage~ so on two cold December days I worked in the the cold cold cold garage. I am such a namby-pamby. Anyway~ with the Divine Mr.'s help~ everything will be shipped tomorrow.
