this week...

... witnessed the prettiest shade of pink sunset from the nearby lake

... kiddos finally finished the summer reading program at the library

... and also done with their summer swimming lessons

... finished shopping for the kids back to school items and uniforms

... started going to bed earlier than 10 p.m.

notable notes

I said it before and I'll say it again; (as trite as it sounds) one of the best things in this reselling gig is the joy of knowing your customers adores the treasures you passed on to them as much as you do if not more.  Welcome to the first post of "notable notes"...

"One of the great things about putting together a collection is the "hunt." This planter/vase/bowl is part of a collection I've been replicating from Romantic Homes Magazine, May 2010. Finally found it. Thank you!"

Martha's collection

Have you seen Martha's jadite collection on the recent issue of MS Living? I took these iphone pictures while scanning through the issue at the library yesterday just before I started drooling on them.  It's so inspiring, after seeing the photos I felt so inspired to hang on to every jaditeware I find instead of listing them.  Oh, those egg cups and that ball pitcher, swoon!
