thanksgiving

(yes, here i am back at the old blog. i feel like i have put on a nice comfy pair of sneakers after prancing around in some high-heeled boots for a bit. sorry for dragging you back and forth, but i am back now. thanks for following me around.)

we had a really awesome thanksgiving yesterday. for the first time ever, it was just the four of us, in our home. and although we missed apple and poppy, it was lovely.

because we have issues with our oven (and just because it was cool) we cooked our turkey in the dutch oven.

and, we made pink whipped cream for our cherry-apple pie.

i am so very thankful for my amazing family,

and my beautiful new home

(more photos soon, i promise)

and the sweetest little olive

and how she has blended so seamlessly into our home.

i hope that you all had wonderful, grateful days yesterday as well!

(it's so good to be home...)

the equipment fairy

my horoscope for the year, in my we'moon, said wonderful things about possibilities and generosity this year. one part of it was, "other people's resources will be generously available, from inheritances to bank loans; seriously consider using this support to establish a fresh and enduring base of operations during '08-'09." i had forgotten all about it until all these amazing things started happening for me, making everything possible for me to live my dream as a silversmith staying at home with my children.

shortly after our huge remodeling project was finished, another wonderful thing happened. i was "in the right place at the right time" (another lovely coincidence) and met sharon king. she just happened to have every tool i could ever need for my silversmithing, all top of the line, very high quality equipment, sitting in her garage gathering dust and needing a new home. after talking for a while, we agreed that she would VERY generously not only sell her equipment to me for a screamin' deal, but finance it as well. i now pay her a small monthly payment and my shop is 100% set up! (please see photos.) THANK YOU SHARON!!!
