Things of late

Things have still been busy, but busy in a good way.


The Thibodaux show was a huge success, and I'm grateful to everyone who came by in support of me. 


Andrew and I are off to a wedding tonight in Atlanta. This will mark the 4th weekend in a row that I have been out of town. Next week will be the 5th. I can't say this makes me sad; just tired. 


This week I've been catching up on sleep. (I'm an early bird, but 4:45 AM to drive to LA and back to SC is a little too early birdy for me.) I've also been catching up on work with the newspaper and the jewelry store. 


I'm still dreaming of boiled crawfish, Abita beer, and sunshine, and those Louisiana days are quickly approaching as we are going HOME for Easter!  


Hope you have a fabulous weekend. I plan on wearing some old jewelry and being fabulous myself. 

Come on over!

I've got spring feva.

These pieces from my collection get me giddy for the spring time! 

Love these pieces of jewelry (of course), but I also love these glass bottles. The first is actually an antique bug catcher! I'm not quite sure if I'm selling this or not; if you're in love with it as much as I am, maybe I'll consider an offer. 

So to get ready for the spring, I'm cleaning out my closets, organizing my bin of sandals, and going catch some bugs. Okay, maybe I won't really catch bugs, but the 'antique glass bug catcher' sure makes me want to.

Busy Girl

I just wanted you all to know that I am, in fact, alive and well and doing more than just eating Girl Scout cookies and obsessing over Drew Brees and my husband. And I am still crazy excited about my jewelry business despite being spread quite thin at the moment. (I immediately thought of Thin Mints when I wrote the word 'thin.')


I have been very busy writing for the paper here; my article comes out Thursday, and the word on the street is that it's on the front page! I only hope that "Confessions of a Mardi Gras Queen" is eye catching enough for the publication to fly off the shelves. I'll pray.


Speaking of praying, I've been spending much of my mornings lately with The King. What a joy He is. I think this is the first year I've ever liked Lent. Maybe I've finally realized what it's all about. Ah ha revelation!


And since I decided to surrender all, I got a call about an apprenticeship with a local jeweler in Anderson. What a perfect opportunity for me to learn about the industry! I think it will also help to get my creative juices flowing.


And speaking of creative juices, Andrew is teaching me to paint. I couldn't ask for a better teacher and friend. We had the best Sunday: went to church, then put on some tunes, had some wine, and painted. So much better than watching TV. I long for quality time, and I soak up every opportunity to get it.

(But speaking of TV, Tenley: awesome, gracious, classy, wonderful. Vienna: gross, Jake.)


So all in all, the last few weeks have been wonderful. I'm looking forward to the weeks ahead and SPRING time! But it's snowing outside of my window right now. I'll forgo the dream of boiled crawfish, sunshine, Abita Strawberry Ale, boats, and wide brim hats. They will come soon enough.
