...Home Sweet Home...


It has become a tradition these last few years to go to my parents for Thanksgiving. It's so nice to have everybody around for a few days. We all enjoy being together and get along great as long as there are no political discussions!! I am the black sheep of the family with totally opposite views...Thankfully we managed to steer clear of that stuff and had a great time...
***
While I'm visiting, I have to go to as many primitive shops in the area as I can...Mama and I make a day of running up and down the Shenandoah valley trying to visit as many stores as humanly possible...We always come home worn out and unable to move but it's all worth it!! Primitive shops are hard to find here in my neck of the woods(NC)...unfortunately...
***
We have just pulled out the Christmas decorations here and it looks like that's what I'll dive into tomorrow...I would love to get some pictures posted when I'm done...I'm also very anxious to get some new things listed on ebay, my website and etsy...finally!! If only my hands could keep up with my mind...

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday!
Take Care,
Tina

...On the Move...


Time never sits still and at this time of the year, neither do I...There always seems to be one last thing to take care of or one last thing that I totally forgot about...it's usually the latter!!
***
I have listed one of my very primitive santas on ebay tonight...I have a couple more winter items to list there over the next few weeks then it's time to start thinking of primitive little cottontails...hard to believe!!
***
I also wanted to say that I will be taking a few days off around Thanksgiving to regurgitate...I mean recuperate...just seeing if you're paying attention!! Hopefully I can shake this cold that I just picked up and get a little of my energy back...

Oh, we found a grasshopper outside the window today!

...New Moon Review...


Yes, I am one of the "Twilight-Moms". My daughter found the series before the movies went into production and I managed to scarf them all down last year...They are very addicting and hard to put down! It's so exciting to see them turned into movies too...I went through the "Harry Potter" craze and "The Lord of the Rings" uproar too...I never thought another book/movie /series would come around that would top them...until now...
***

I went to the matinee with the family today. Here's my humble opinion, this movie was so much better than the first one...I know we are dealing with vampires and werewolves in this book so ...the plot thickens! I just think this movie was told in a less confusing way and is truer to the book...it's not corny at all...I love it and give it 5 stars...on a scale of 5 stars, that is....!!

Oh, I just want to ad: Bella's crazy...I would pick Jacob !! I'm an animal lover...you see...

...A Little Kitty Tale...







This is truly worthy of a post... Let me explain my daily ritual ... I open all my shades every morning, feed my kitties and get my daughter off to school...After that, I have to open my blinds halfway in my office and the right side of the house...My little spotted kitty E.B. expects this everyday...She watches bugs and birds and to her it's better than television...
***
While doing this , I had no idea that E.B. had struck up a friendship with a little lizard that lives in the bush outside. I noticed how focused she was on the windowsill one day and found this little lizard sunning himself ....Day after day (after that) we would watch for him and he would appear and lay on the windowsill... We have named him"Gecko", even though he's not one, he just looks like the little gecko on T.V.! He knows we are looking at him because he tilts his head and looks at us...He's our daily event...That's why I believe this is a true friendship...
***
My little kitty has finally made a friend outside the family. I encourage these types of friendships and will open the blinds for her everyday...These types of friends are few and far between and we should hold on to our friends for as long as possible...I will just never invite him in to play... I hope she understands!!

Tina
