Nice to see you!

Three major events occurred for me last year (2010), all in the space of about 2 weeks. I turned 50. The following day I got married. Two weeks later, my oldest daughter became pregnant with her first child and my first grandchild.

Most middle-aged people will tell you that in their minds, they still feel 20 something. It's the same for me.

Wasn't it only yesterday that I was planning a night out with guys from the surf club? That gorgeous new perm. Flaired, cuffed denims and the red t-shirt with the off-the-shoulder frill. Corked platform wedgies. **sigh**

Suddenly I'm looking in the mirror and wondering how 30 years can flash by so damned quickly!

So here I am in cyberspace, sharing my genuine shock and horror with anyone who'll listen and maybe I'll even meet some other over 50s who find themselves in the same predicament!

Welcome to my dilemna!!

Another Busy Day

It’s verging on crazy!

So many peeeeeeeeople 😳

I still haven’t found the time to unpack and display everything that has arrived this week - which is ok because I choose to NOT work outside of my advertised hours. 

I want quality of life and I refuse to allow work stress to nudge it’s way into my life.

Everything can wait.

Because I’m the boss 😬

Great sales today!

I need a bigger shop - to put all the new Sassy Duck Handbags. 

Adoring Husband and I have made plans for the Art and Craft area of the shop. I’ve ordered new display shelving and I’ve got single tall glass cabinets to display the hand made jewellery so by the end of next week, it should be a lot better organised and looking fab. 

I could have filled an art class with holiday makers this weekend - 5 enquires - but I’m looking forward to my weekend off and hope to spend Saturday afternoon floating in the pool and adding more to my commissioned art piece.

I almost went for a swim this afternoon. I changed into my swimmers and THEN dipped my toes in the water ... but the water was too cold, even for me!

We had leftovers for dinner and watched a very disappointing end to The Bachelor.

I’m going to fall asleep listening to a book tonight.

Let’s hope tomorrow continues along the busy thread and I make enough money this week to lodge my order for all the lovely linen and silk clothing that I’ve been drooling over this month!


Enough for now.

Nite all.
