The generosity of Strangers: We received all these yellow apples from someone this week. They had WAY too many and didn't want them to go to waste. So we were able to go over and pick all these. I see a lot of pie and apple butter in our future!
Dinner with friends: an elderly couple that we are friends with invited us over for dinner the other night. It was delicious! It's always fun to get together with them. They might be in their 70's and 80's but they act a lot younger.
A good cup of coffee: mmmm need I say more?
New blog followers: Hi new followers!! It always makes me so happy when I see someone new on the GFC! I'll be checking out your blogs soon, if I haven't already!
Orders! Custom Orders!: The shop has been picking up the last couple weeks. I've been working on some new pieces, listing some new pieces, and I've had 3 custom orders! The below picture is one of them.
When the dogs head back to bed in the mornings: This makes me so happy when it happens! Our dogs are very strict with their self-enforced routine. They like early bedtimes and late sleep-ins. If you dare to make them get up before they're ready they'll mope around and ask to go back to bed. I love the mornings when it's all quiet in here and I go looking for them only to find them in their crates sleeping. I'm able to check my email and my shop in undisturbed peace and quiet!
Beautiful sunsets:
Funny emails: from friends that say "Help! My facebook is set to Persian language!"
Shopping dates with the husband: a couple times a month we head to the nearby city and go shopping. Often we pick up supplies for making things to list in the shop. He's so funny in the bead stores. We have very different tastes of what would look good in jewelry. I have to admit though usually the pieces he makes sell really well.
Clean sheets still warm from the dryer
What kinds of things have been making you happy this week?
Ooh, apples! I am loving fresh, local California grapes, but I will certainly miss apple picking - a favorite fall tradition. Not to mention the homemade applesauce! *sob*
ReplyDeleteI love that custom listing! It's one of my favorite pieces I've seen from your shop! Beautiful!

ReplyDeleteSo good! We'll share a virtual one :)
ReplyDeletehaha! I do! I never used to! But the past few months it's gotten weaker and milkier! I'm not sure why!
