This and That

I've really got some catching up to do since tax season ended.  I've been busy getting my garden ready, but wrenched my back over Memorial Day, so planting fell woefully behind.  I finally managed to plant some tomatoes, onions, Swiss chard and jalapenos.  They are coming along, but late.  We had an extreme heat wave, but as soon as I bought a lawn sprinkler, we've had rain every day.  Figures.

 
I went to NYC for Carla's graduation from Juilliard this spring.   It was such a happy event! 

She spent the summer at Central City Opera where she perfomed in Carmen.  She crosses over from right to left and squats with a cigarette.

And she's such a clown in this scene, the baby on the right in yellow:

I wish I could have been there, looks like so much fun!  Once she's back in NY, I'll be sure to attend her shows.  I can get Megabus tickets for as little as $5.00 as long as I order ahead of time.  I hate driving in the city and paying the big bucks for tolls and parking. 

I did a show in Skaneateles this spring.  I really packed the car for this one!

This is my new display, ever changing.  Although I finally bought some shelving to lighten the clutter.

 Life goes on, business is either all or nothing.  The Indie Garage Sale is coming up in 2 weeks and I need to get ready!  My printhead went bad on my printer, so I'm patiently waiting for a new one so I can get back to work.  Luckily, I can print shipping labels at the local library. 

While I'm at it, please check out this wonderful shop.  Her products are awesome!  I purchased a sampler set and everything is amazing.  I love the lip balm and the facial cream is so luxurious.  Everything is organic and made to perfection.

Good night for now, and I'll be back soon!
