And so it goes....Bruce's send-off

   My old boyfriend from high school and continuing dear friend till his death has been gone since 2008.  He and I maintained our connection, though admittedly, I didn't realize how sick he was or what his life had become until after his death.  I've talked to his brothers, and none of us really knew how bad things had gotten.   I hate the expression, "He's at peace now," but I can say at least he's no longer suffering.      I read Kris Radish's book Annie Freeman's Fabulous Traveling Funeral several years ago and told Bruce's brother and SIL Dennis and Joyce about it.  They loved the idea of leaving ashes in special places, and I volunteered to take some to Napa.  Matthew and I had a weekend trip planned to Napa last week for Judith and Larry's 50th annivesary party (which was phenomenal and fun), so it was a perfect time to take Bruce's ashes and send him on his way in a place he loved.  We drove over to where his brother Steve used to

New Earring Technique for Me....

I bought a bunch of chain to make bracelets, but felt some of it wasn't strong enough to wear on the wrist, so last night I turned some of it into earrings.  I LOVE the new style--now I'll be frenzied to make more for this Sunday's show at La Nebbia!  In the meantime, I'm having a sale on other earrings to make way for more.  I'll have the sale on my website and also at the show this week....all earrings $20 and 2 pairs for $38.  The new style will sell for $30 each and vary in length.  More to come! 2" long 3" long 2 1/4" long

We have the coolest house on the block...or maybe in El Granada!
