Witch's Boot and Other News
I added this piece to my shops yesterday and wanted to be sure all you witches got to see it! It's an antique pincushion, made of ultra soft leather. You can see it both here and here!
My other news is that I now have a (sort of) job! The guy who owns the antique mall where I have a booth is an expert at restoring old houses. Because Art has no time to finish our very last room to finish, the living room, we've asked Greg to do it. Right now he's finishing up the floors...he's taken the gorgeous random width boards from our attic and is putting them down in the living room. After that, there's tons more to do. Anyway, in order to free up Greg to work at our house, I'm working at the antique mall a couple days a week. And I LOVE it!! After working at home for the last 12 years, it's great to be out among people. I LOVE antiques, so it's the perfect environment for me. My wages are being deducted from our bill for the work Greg is doing, so it's definitely not a paycheck thing; it's more of a get me out of the house and among live people thing!
And yes, I am controlling myself! I've only bought one thing....so far!
