What's New in November?

As I write this, Hurricane Melissa is poised to destroy Jamaica, so our prayers are with all of those in her path. Especially knowing that it will sit on top of them for a day or so. There are many people ready to help, so if you can help, please donate to any verified organization that is poised to get help where it’s needed.

On a lighter side, I headed to New England for a trip through the fall leaves, which has become a bit of a limited tradition as this is our fourth time up there at this time of the year. My first stop was the zoo in D.C. where I could enjoy the pandas while they are here. One was snoozing on his/her face, and the other found a bucket in the yard. Both were fun to watch. From the zoo, we went camping in upper NY and VT, before heading over to the Flume Gorge and tripping across the Kanc where the leaves were in full color.

Coming home, we stopped in Salem and wandered the waterfront instead of downtown this time. It was a relaxing trip and very enjoyable camping.

Here is one of our roly-poly pandas:

P.S. If you remember my hummingbird garden plans, you’ll be happy to know that I had my first hummingbird on the red salvia the other morning. I will call it a success!

What’s New

Notecards: I have been busy working on Christmas cards. Nothing fancy, and always entertaining.

Stickers: I am buried under new stickers! Have been having a blast trying out new designs and formats. I have small labels, as well as 2-inch or more stickers. Designs from flowers to Christmas polar bears.

Garden Flags: I have gone back to creating more garden flags. I am not ready for spring or summer - winter here is awesome - but I do need some more yard art.

Until next month,

Julie

Things to Look Forward To:

New Products:

Aprons: So far, only two aprons have made it into my store. A personalized baking apron and a nice/naughty Christmas apron. I will be getting my garden aprons out soon. I have no concept of time since I garden all year round here.

Wall Art: I have moved a lot of print in house, which has freed me up to offer 8x10 prints of my car art, my travel art, and some fun graphic arts. I can do this at a reasonable price, which is why I went this direction. I don't have many prints moved over yet, but I am working on it.

Bookmarks: I have some test product bookmarks that I am in love with, so you'll see them soon. I keep saying this, but I haven't gotten that far yet. I will have them! I promise!
