What I Found & Overheard At The Party

via Shusha Handmade Arts

It Keeps Going And Going And Going

I know, I know...it's another one of those parties. What can I say, other than, that's just the way we roll around here. The current Gotta Have It/Gotta Blog It Link Up Party is still cranking. There are still people coming through the door, so if you haven't had a look around, or even if you did, there's a ton of links to explore.

One of the best things about hosting this virtual parties, is all the stuff you guys leave behind (and I'm not just talking change under the couch cushions).

Lots of familiar faces at this party, but lots of new faces too. That sure makes me smile.  Everyone getting to know each other, wonderful handcrafted and vintage finds, and new blogs to discover. What is not to love about this party?

If you have a shop or blog, the party is still live and so swing on by and link up.  You never know who might find you this way.  Those of you who don't have a shop or blog are always invited too. There's so much great stuff to browse through.

If the party didn't provide you with enough new people to meet, it's Monday Meet Up over on our facebook page. Be sure to stop by and leave your links.

The Weekend That Was

It was a busy weekend, what with the craft fair and all.  Friday night we finished our prepping. Saturday involved lots of hauling, unpacking, packing, and hauling. We both agreed it was worth it (more on that tomorrow-- there is one quick peek photo of our booth in yesterday's post).  Sunday was spent unpacking, cleaning and organizing. I changed up my mantle for Fall in the midst of all that (will post later this week) and we ended the weekend with a Sunday dinner of chicken cordon bleu. It's one of my old standbys and a favorite (keep your eyes out for that too this week).

The sun has been shining since Saturday morning, after a lashing rain storm Friday night.  This alone, makes me happy today.  What's making you happy?

See you on the flip side,

Pop. Then nuttin'.

The Sound Of Power Going Out

An outtage ate my post. Yup, the power went out. Just a little pop according to my neighbor.  I didn't hear a thing. Except my own big, long, shocked gasp as my computer shut itself down along with everything else.

I was just about done with today's 'What I Found and Overheard at the Party' post and poof, nuttin'.

I'm obviously back up and running, but apparently I hadn't save what I was working on so I must recreate some of it. More on that tomorrow. You are going to love everything I've found, so do stayed tuned for the post on the flip side. 

For now, my wish for you on this Monday.................

....gentle breezes and no squirrels on the powerlines.  [I don't know that it was a squirrel on the powerline, but they've been very busy of late, so it's a distinct possibility.]

Monday Meet Up

Have you connected with me on facebook yet? If you haven't today is a great day to do it. If you have, it's the perfect day to pop over to our page, eespecially if you're a shop/business owner or blogger. Why, you ask? Because it's Monday Meet Up.

Stop by and share your links and do a little networking with others who have left theirs.

If you're not a shop/business owner or blogger, stop by and say hi regardless. I'd love to connect with you on facebook.

That's if from here for today.

Here's to power!
