Become a Bone Marrow Donor

Recent discussions I've been a part of (just a tiny tiny part) have made me think of how important it is that people become bone marrow donors. You can sign up here: http://www.marrow.org/JOIN/

It only takes a few minutes and could save the life of someone who really needs a transplant, maybe even someone you know.

Baby Apricots!

It must be Spring!

Betty was helping me take photos for our vintage shop, CallMeOut on Etsy. She's always anxious to lend a paw to whatever I'm trying to do outdoors in natural light.

I was able to take some not-so-bad pics. Do you just LOVE the Zebra planter? I think it's so cute. It will be up in the shop very soon. The buckle is up now- a great Western style piece, made by Justin Boot Co.

The little fox is showing off one of my Mom's rings. I'll be putting it up in the next few days. The vintage shop seems to be doing a little bit better than the ooak jewelry, but we have a sale every now and then.

Have a good weekend. It's been absolutely beautiful here the last few days. I've been working outdoors with Mr Foxaz, re-doing the iris bed. It was being overtaken with trees and weeds. I wish I had the energy for digging and lifting things that I used to have. Guess older isn't always better.

Some neat mid-century jewelry from Monet and others. The kind my mother wore to her PTA meetings, and other special places, like church...

It's a new year! It's a new fresh start!

We're back on target to make some creative moves again!
Mr Foxaz spent 12 days in the hospital, from Dec 5 to the 17th.
It kinda put the hammer down on our holidays. Had to close the Etsy stores, and the others til we got back from Phoenix Good Samaritan. When we got back, I opened them up again and we had a few sales. Not much.
But what can you do when you're out of town and in the hospital?

Today was a good day - January 5th - and I hope we have more to come.
All the tests came back negative for the serious bad stuff (cancer) so for that we're very very thankful. Still doing follow-ups and taking it one day at a time.

But today was a good day, and that's crazy good!

Oh boy- it's almost Christmas!!

I realize, I've been remiss.
I don't deserve to have any followers.
But I love you guys, I do.

We've been busy with - nothing.
We've had a month of sickness, and now mr fox is in the hospital, trying to figure out why he can't eat. Asking the doctors why.

Tis the season of eating, and he can't eat a regular meal.

So if I can, I will keep a more regular posting schedule, with some more creativity and a better outlook. You can still find us on Etsy, Zibbet, and ARtfire..

Here's a pretty new piece: above ^

There will be more!

Holidays, coming right up!

A couple of new items in my Artfire shop.

The cranberry red crocheted brooch is perfect for a holiday gift, stocking stuffer, or pin it on your own lapel! Simple statement, soft wool-blend with felt backing. The buttons are vintage.

The necklace, Planetary Evidence, is a crazy Lace large multicolor focal bead, with red flower jasper and copper beads. I'm sure you've heard that a new planet, very much like Earth, has been discovered. This is that planet. The mother ship leaves sometime after the first of the year, and should arrive in this pristine, natural, unpolluted planet sometime in 2022. There will be no cost for the spaceship ride, and all amenities will be provided.

You can purchase this necklace, and make up (embellish) your own stories in time for all those boring holiday parties. Just check out my ARTFIRE shop - the link is on this page.
