But you guys are cool. Unless of course the person who broke into our car yesterday and stole packages waiting to be shipped is out there reading my blog right now. If you are, you suck!

Who steals packages, not even knowing what’s inside? It’s not like there was anything else in the car to tempt them and the packages were under the seat. And this was in a busy parking lot in front of a college. Who does this? Fortunately, I have wonderful and patient customers who were understanding to a slight delay. But this is definitely costing me. Grrr!

Ok, end rant. Thanks for listening, I really had to get that out. Feeling much better now and am ready to show you my newest and brightest. Happy colors to promote happy feelings.

Our internet went down for over 24 hours! The HORROR!!! You don’t realize how dependent you are on something until it is gone and we’re more computer addicted than most here in the Leonard household.

And we received the absolute worst costumer service, if they weren’t a monopoly around here we would have canceled service right then. But today an actual useful tech support guy came out and fixed it back up for us and he even gave us his personal line for if this happens again. So for now, I will let the router live.

But on to happier things, like sunshine and roses and pretty little girls with bouquets of flowers. I took pictures early so as soon as Mr. Tech Support Guy saved the day I could get to listing.

I’m beyond excited! I’ve been saving up for the last few months for a laptop. I scrimped and saved and didn’t think I’d ever make it to that mark, but last weekend I did. And went and found the perfect for me laptop and ordered it. It’s been “in production” all week (yes, I’ve been constantly checking the status) and today it said “shipped”! Huzzah!! And it came with free 2 day shipping, so that means Monday or Tuesday.

And with a laptop, you need a laptop case. And I’m only a little bit embarrassed to admit I had that picked out long before the laptop. On account of having so much time on my hands while saving of course…you know, all that extra time normally spent shopping. It’s gonna be the cutest ever and will match my blue (yes, blue!) laptop. I’ve been watching blissful’s shop for months, I love her stuff!

The blue flowers will make up the majority of a purse with the khaki canvas as the strap and border and swirls for the inner lining. A laptop purse, what a fantastic idea.

And of course, the jewelry. I’ve been listing a ton this week to make up for all the sick time, think I’m finally getting back on course. I had so much overstock I haven’t had to make anything new yet, but I really need to get back to creating too, holidays and all.

I’ve been getting my office in order as well this week, it’s a long drawn out process that will include a trip to the dump. But I will finally have a real workstation and usable storage, neither of which currently exist. My life will be so much easier! At least, that’s what I’m hoping.

I’m not sure if I’ve ever talked about it or not, but I’ve recently ended a 10 year love affair. It’s true, I said goodbye to Dr. Pepper two weeks ago and haven’t turned back. Though I admit to daydreaming about a nice frosty soda, I’ve stayed strong.

So I decided I needed something to help make drinking fun again and found this adorable vintage tea kettle today on Etsy! Now I’m daydreaming about how cultured and sophisticated I’ll look pouring myself a cup of tea. Any tasty tea suggestions? I think next I’ll have to look for a pretty cup and saucer. Then I’ll hardly miss the friendly red can at all. (At least, that’s what I’m hoping)

And now, in no particular order, what I’ve been up to the past couple days. Lots of fun and super feminine new pretties to dazzle and amaze. And I lied, they’re in alphabetical order.

Feels so good to be back to work! I had missed it more than I realized during my far too long sick leave. So when I said yesterday I was coming back full force, I meant it! I couldn’t wait to take pictures today and had a lot of fun picking out which new pieces to show you. I’ve already got tomorrow’s lineup ready too, I’ve got a lot of make up to do, so I’ll be a listing fool for a while.

Now to package up orders. I always have to do this the night before, I’m very very slow and if I don’t, I’ll never have time to take as many pictures as I’d like. Also tomorrow I’ll be listing one of my very first of a few fun little broaches I’ve been working on.
