First, Heartfelt Thanks
You have all been so kind in your messages regarding the passing of my Godfather. It's so nice to know that people care and understand how sad it is to lose a person you love. Thank you all very much for taking the time to read my 'Ode To Bo' post and for your thoughts and prayers. It means a lot.
Happier Things
Back to the party. I really enjoy 'cleaning up' after the link parties on the Muse. So much to look through and discover. Here's my picks from the current Gotta Have It/Gotta Blog It Link Party.
A vintage pink and white lace wedding dress. Simple lines and classic femininity from founditgreat.
Beautiful pale copper colors adorn this beaded choker by from Our Home To Yours.
A lovely ivory and pink damask tray for your dresser or perhaps breakfast in bed, by longearreddesigns.
The sweetest little birdie note cards from dsigns.
How about a fabulous outfit for less than $14! Bethany is Still In St. Louis and she sure knows how shop!
Need some tips on using social media to sell your arts and crafts online? Nadine's got 'em over on This Creative Bliss!
Very cool upcycled Umbrella Man silhouette by Cupcake Gangster. Who would have thought a upcycled can could look so suave?
As usual, the variety of things I find at the link party never ceases to amaze me. What about you? Did you find something you love at the party?

Drum roll please.....................Laura from Tillie Tulip has won the Barn Rye archival print! Congratulations! I'll be in touch for your mailing information.
Have a great day everyone. I'm playing catchup today......clearing my desk and mailing sold items out (and remailing one that the post office decided to send back for insufficient address even though it's addessed properly- annoying!).
That's it here. See you on the flip side,
Is that what they mean by party hearty???
