Well – the teenage man/child has been put on a plane and is winging his way to far-away places – Japan, that is. Sure is quiet here – I can actually hear myself think. Wow! When was the last time THAT happened! My girl dogs are not really sure what’s going on with number one son not here to harass them…..and I don’t think they like it! LOL We rang him on Sunday night and he was feeling homesick (Already! It had only been 3 days since he left!!!) . Plus he had an upset tummy – so the rose coloured glasses that he normally uses to see the world through were slightly fogged up.
Poor baby.
He’ll get over it. (Not sure his mother will…he he). His host Mum sounds wonderful and will take really good care of him. And he will be kept soooo busy that I will be surprised if he has any energy left to feel anything but exhausted at the end of each day! Anyway, will keep you posted on news from Japan. I think his school group was going to the Big Buddha today……among other things.
Other news is the Annual Jewellery Party that was held just over a week ago. Thought I would let you know that it went really well! Thanks to everyone that came and made it so memorable – I hope you all enjoyed yourselves. I shifted most of the furniture out of my open plan lounge/dining area and my little house was transformed into a makeshift “gallery” of sorts. Mum & I worked hard to put all of our boards up on various walls and windows and arrange gazillions of bracelets, necklaces, earrings, bookmarks, keyrings, blah, blah, etc, etc and I think it all looked pretty good. I should have taken pics but in the rush/hurry to try and get everything done before the “Grand Opening” I completely forgot to check that my camera batteries had charge – consequently a big fat red flashy thingy showed up on my camera screen mocking me with words to this effect…..”IDIOT – YOUR BATTERIES ARE FLAT”. Never mind – next time…..you’ll just have to take my word for it that it looked pretty good.
Well we sold a fair bit – had heaps of bargains. But having said that we had an awful lot of stock (and we were worried that we might not have enough stuff!! HAH!) and still had lots left over…….so now it has to be photographed and put on the Website, Etsy & Artfire. I will let you know when the listings start……just in case you want to have a little lookie.
Time to push off. Hope you all are having an awesome day wherever you may be!
Cheers ’til next time…..
Sandy 🙂
