OliveJuice & Company

It just so happens, I was kindly asked to participate in my very first Ebay boutique launch.  Sweet Eva (Whom deserves an entire blog post all to herself!! Thank you Eva!  I adore you!) stuck her neck out and invited a non-ebayer, ME, to dust off my trusty seller ID and whip up an offering.  Aptly named, "Indelible", our focus was on Joel Dewberry's AMAZING debut fabric collection, and each of the 51 sellers has created quite the menagerie of goods.   I'm honored to have one of my designs listed amongst these talented designers and friends.

This will truly be a one-of-a-kind design, custom made for the winning bidder.  (AAACK, I hope someone likes it enough to bid!)   This is my personal favorite apron to date, and it has to do with a little detail that you can't see in the photo above.  You'll have to check out the listing to see it!  Any ideas what it could be?   ;)

OH, and the description is definitely tongue-in-cheek.  I certainly don't mean to imply that you'll have men falling all over you if you're wearing one of my aprons....but I HAVE received quite a number of emails telling me that the HUSBANDS of my customers really like what I do.  That always gives me a little chuckle.  :)  Not to mention the men at the laundromat ogling at my beautiful sister while I was snapping away.  Good grief!  I was laughing so hard I could barely focus the camera.   HA!

I better go before I dig myself into a hole...
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!  I'm planning on a bit of thrifting, playing with the babies, and starting to PACK!!  The new house is just almost done.  YAY!!

Later beauties~

Hellllllloooooo!

Yes, we're alive and all doing well!!  It seems another unpredicted blog hiatus has snuck (or is it sneaked? hmmmm) right up on me.  Thank you for all the emails and comments asking about us.  You guys sure know how to make a girl feel missed.  (((Hugs to you all)))  There are a zillion and one excuses I could rattle off, but when we really get right down to it, I had a bit of a slap-in-the-face wake-up call and needed to focus on my sweet babies a little more.  I'll find it, that balance of feeling like I'm a good wife/mom AND fulfilling my passions and creative energy.  I know I will!  Just have to fumble around a little more...trying things here and there....schedules, no schedules...clean house, messy house...late nights, early mornings.  Maybe no sleep at all?!!  Yes, I think that one might work!  :)  Any suggestions from all you brilliant women who seem to do it ALL so flawlessly?

Speaking of our babies, have I told you how much I love the little smooshers lately?!!  I wonder if they know that just the sight of their adorable faces makes my heart burst?  *sigh*

OH!!!  I've been meaning to tell you all about a little package that mr postman delivered a couple weeks ago.  (We all know how I feel about packages in the mail! *hehe*)  The kindest woman, Lisa Leonard, makes these amazing dog-tag style necklaces, hand-stamped with anything you want on them!!   And if that isn't cute enough, she adorns each one with a delicate freshwater pearl detail.  Flawlessly contrasted and perfect to wear with those everyday T-shirts or the dressier duds.   Thank you Lisa!!!  I love my necklace so much and am already jonesin' for one of your new styles.

K, friends, better run.  Cross-my-heart promise that the next post will be much sooner than the last~
