I agree, blingy should definitely be a real word! How else can we describe all the sparkle that is being created by this new book? The response to my newest book has been incredible. I predict that 2012 is going to be the blingiest year ever.

BLING IT ON!

Hugs,
June

Poor you! I’m sure your husband is happy and excited about the new job but let him do a little apartment living for a bit. After all, he is constantly on the move and why not let you and Jack The Cat stay at home. LOL

You are being so smart to not move right away and see how the job shapes up in 6 months. I understand when you say the condo is “you.” I hope that things work out so that you can stay in the condo and Keith does the traveling back and forth, etc. It is good that he is getting really good job opportunities, bu gee, the stress it puts on the family. I bet Jack the Cat wants to stay put also. Big hugs to you.

I lived in Townsend from 1986-1999 and shopped at the store many times until it closed. I don’t think they had classes there anymore then. Surely I would have attended . . . especially if they involved ‘thimbles.’
The ‘tent sale’ each year was a great source of kits I would send my Mother since she loved doing needlework. Side note: She was born in 1912 also.
I am framing a “Love Stamp” Kit my Mother completed Years ago, and was looking to see if there might be a date somewhere on the web, telling when the Elsa Williams Store closed, I’m sure the kit was from the ‘last days’ since it did not include the thread, which my Mother purchased . . .’with a .20 cent LOVE stamp in hand.’ Gee, remember .20 cent Stamps? Prettier Stamps Then!
Thank you for all the information you have on this site. It was helpful and very interesting.

Oh no, it seems you just got settled. Big hugs to you. As a native Texan living in MN, I can imagine living in Texas, even in Pt. Lavaca, but all those moves are hard to imagine. I really hope that the right thing happens and whatever happens is smooth.
