WooHoo! Look who's 50!

That'd be my shop, not me. It hit 50 sales last night! Was so happy and inspired. Started on a new pattern, hoping to have it done in a few days. Also makes me realize I need to take lots of photos. I still have stock not photographed and in the shop.

It's been a lot of ups and downs on Etsy, but I do so love it. Where else can you find such a hodge podge of beautifully made items as well as a few vintage pieces so lovingly cared for. Like this dress from lostlaundry. In hitting 50 sales, I thought I'd search "50" and found this 50's inspired dress.

Oh what simpler times they were... makes me want to put on my apron and do some cleaning! Instead I think I'll take in the inspiration and get to work... Cleaning can wait a bit.

Cart Snafu

As it is the time for shopping, the holidays are among us afterall. I thought I'd share my hubby's latest "cart" experience. You see he rides around on an electric cart for work. They go around base getting what they need and come back. Since it is electric it only goes about 10 mph. However, when you are the passenger and you look over your right shoulder, and the driver is making a sharp left, you may just fall out! Blood loss, no concussion, 5 staples and countless jokes later, this is how you'd look.

He was getting teased about needing a 5-point harness, a helmet (complete with a Raiders emblem... ewwwwww) as well as a few others. Those 2 are my favorites however. This happened a few weeks ago now and he almost completely healed. Which is an awesome thing since that means his system is getting back to normal after chemo.

Although you may not be taking electric carts to go shopping this year, please do remember to be careful in those crazy stores! Or better yet, buy online :) Check Etsy, and search Homefront Team for great selections.
