400 Followers!And WhatNottery...

Yeah!My blog has reached 400 followers!Well,403 because as usual it sneaks up on me like that.Expect a give away to follow soon!I really do appreciate people taking an interest in little ole me.Lets see...oh in recent shouldn't have but couldn't resist Etsy purchases I got myself these!It really is too easy to justify buying something for yourself when its under $5.00 and well,heart and key and me=hard to say no.








In iPhone app nerdery I invested in one a few weeks ago called half tone.I forgot about it until my friend Kimmi posted some of her photos using it today and I was like "oh yeah I liked that app I should use it" so I did tonight.

Ollie and Heidi play well together until one of them decides they don't want to share anymore.Normally its Heidi,Ollie being the good boy that he is always choose to sulk versus being aggressive and trying to snatch his toy back.Luckily after flashing those puppy dog eyes Heidi obliges in giving the toy back.



What Ollie lacks in calmness Lug Nut more than makes up for in the lazy bones department.He is more of a snuggler not a fighter.



Speaking of lazy bones.We did much of the same.Besides forcing myself to get to the post office today we did a lot of nothing.Hung out on the bed reading books,rolling around giggling at things that don't make any sense and sipping lots of tea.Things that are good for the soul and needed to kick that last bit of cold I can't seem to shake.




Other than that not much to report.Off to go flannel overload my senses with My So Called Life reruns on NetFlix on demand.Mmmmmm.Jordon Catalano.Sorry Jared Leto,I only love you as Jordon.Much how I feel about Eric from True Blood.Alexander Skarsgard in real life,eh..but as Eric Northman,OH YES AND PLEASE!That is normal right?To love characters but not actually that actor?

This One Didn't Make It...

When you sell vintage sometimes its hard to get to the selling part.As a rule when it comes to clothes,if it fits I keep it!The exception being something I won't use like for example a wedding dress.Doesn't matter if that fit,I'd have no use for it.

Today I'm happy to report that I am about 98% better from my cold.Still a lingering stuffed up nose but no longer miserable and unable to go out and about in the world.To celebrate I dragged my husband to the thrift store with me where I found some cute things for my shop I'll be listing through out the week AND this cardigan which I'm sorry to report if you like it but it fits,thus it didn't make it to the sale pile. =)



Here is a close up of the knit work.I love the color combo,it reminds me of a peacock.3/4 sleeves are always a plus in my book too.



I wore one of my owl necklaces today.Not the best idea against my embroidered peasant blouse as it kept snagging but no real damage done.


Oh and speaking of my shop!My 2 year Etsy anniversary is coming up in just shy of a month.My goal last year was to make it to 600 which I did by the skin of my teeth.This year I'd like to make 1,000 but realized I'm oh 132 sales away from that!Yikes,should have planned better but I'm awful at remembering those types of dates.Like don't ask me my blog anniversary,I have no clue.Anyhow,wish me luck or if you'd like to contribute to helping me reach my goal I'd be much obliged ;)

Not So "Free" Vet Check...

Sorry for the lack of posts!I've been sick on my butt all week so I haven't done much of anything besides sleeping and being miserable.I don't get sick very often but when I do it hits me like a ton of bricks.I am thankfully feeling a smidge better today,though not near 100% yet,son is still sick but daughter is better though not 100% either.I haven't gone thrifting,I haven't worn anything cute,nothing fun came in the mail, so I haven't had much to share...oh wait Dana's gift did show up,I should show that off..ok check!An idea for next post.Just lots of rest and drinking good things to get this cold to kick rocks!



Basically not a lot to report in my neck of the woods except for even though I'm sick I did have an awesome eyebrow day,Haha! (small victories people,that is what life is about)

and when we got Lug Nut last week I am happy to report he has fit right in with our family.The shelter told us we had a free vet check up to we has scheduled one for Friday.When we adopted him they said his ear was causing him a lot of pain but they didn't want to touch it because it hurt him.Reality,they didn't want to invest the money in him to fix it!

Well,last night we noticed the ear was swollen shut!There was no way we were going to make him suffer until Friday so luckily the vet agreed to squeeze him in today.He was a sweetheart about it though he didn't like having his ear flushed.Turns out he'd has a yeast infection in his ear,that does happen to dogs,yes weird right?Turns out he'd had it for about 6 months!Which would explain why it had gotten so bad.Also she confirmed what my husband suspected that he was not a Boston Terrier but an Old Boston Bulldog..its what Boston Terriers use to be before they were bred down in size so thankfully that means he's not horridly overweight just a little chunky,haha!

Nothing in life is "Free" and we learned that yet again today when the free check up ended up costing $200.00.To be fair the check up itself WAS free,normally they're $59.00 just for the check up but we just found it humorous.It was a little ouch but could have been MUCH worse and more importantly Lug Nut is going to be ok and you can't put a price on that.We feel and it was confirmed by the vet that his original owners neglected him.He was overfed,had an infection that was allowed to be ignored for so long and unfortunately has really bad tarter!Otherwise he has a clean bill of health and the vet said he's probably not 7 but more like 4 or 5 so yeah to having even more years to enjoy him!



What makes me sad though after finding out he was YOUNGER than we thought is the fact that his teeth are in really bad condition for being so young.We picked him up some Greenies but the vet said ideally it was so bad he needed to come in for a cleaning which would run about $360.00,yikes!I've cut a lot of prices in my shop in hopes to raise the funds to get him his very needed cleaning.Just a friendly reminder to my fellow pet owners to pay attention to your pets hygiene,including oral care!I'm off now to partake in some more juice and Netflix goodness.
