Oct 15, 2012

why not go out on a limb? I opened up on Etsy!

All That Inspires Me
all quotes posted today from this site,
of which, I am recently obsessed.

What a weekend.  We worked hard.  We played hard.  And ate, a Lot of food.  I ate Pizza Hut.  And Mexi.  And A&W.  And had Starbucks, 3 times.  And went out for dessert, 2 times. In related news, I gained 5 pounds.  I celebrated the HUGE victory of officially "opening" shop on Etsy, a goal a decade in the making. And we drove 2 1/2 hours to spend 2 1/2 hours with two of my oldest, dearest girlfriends and it was, the Best.  

Play Hard, Work Hard.  Onto the recap.. 



Friday night we met up with friends 
and saw a great friend play at the Buffalo Gap in Portland.
the same friend that played a show three years ago this past week ~
October 10, 2009, at which Rhett and I met.  :)




Saturday morning started bright and early at promptly 8am at Home Depot.
I followed Rhett around Home Depot and got lost, repeatedly.
Most likely cause I was too busy taking pics with Witches,
and playing with the fish eye lens on my phone.



anyone that follows me on Instagram has seen these..
for those that don't ~ 
my very own Jewelry Display designs !!!!!!!!!!
and YES.  that is TEN exclamation points.  
finally, after years and years of saying I should, I could, I would,

I did.  


I "opened" shop!!
My very own, Official, Etsy shop!
it's a soft opening ~ it's not full yet, but it soon will be,
and I am over the moon.  


and if you <3 my shop, I will <3 you even more than I already do! XOXO   

let me tell you ~
you know how you do something, yourself,
and it gives you a whoooole new appreciation for those that do it? 
man.  Talk about an agonizing process!
Every word, photo, description, 
errrry lil thang,
and IT drove me to it! 


drove me right into a box of Pizza!!

Pizza Hut, pizza.  To be exact.
the very best pizza.  Ever.
If it's been awhile, get yourself some.
sooo Good. 




two of my oldest girlfriends from back "home" were at the Oregon Coast.
I rarely get the opportunity to see them both, together.
so we hopped in the car and day tripped it over
for hugs and some much needed catching up. 


it was so good to see everyone.
and we all watched the agonizing 3 hour ascent,
and 5 minute descent of the space jumper. 
talk about nerve wracking.
major congrats to Felix. 

Amy & Andrea.
so very, very happy I got to see them. 


phew! 
it was a good one.
and now.. 
on to Monday!
let's kill it this week, rock stars!    
-m-





 ps, I am, obviously, Obsessed with my new fish eye lens for my phone that Rhett got me!  It attaches with a magnet!  It is So Cool.  You can check it out HERE, he is selling them!  He even used one of my shots for his ad which kinda made me feel like a bona fide photographer.  Or something.  ;)

I'm glad I'm not the only one that has an irrational love for Pizza Hut. Andy thinks I'm crazy.
