99th Post and Counting!

Well as you can tell from the title it is my 99th post, I know can you believe it? I sure can't. Anyways look what I got today,

I am so excited I started trying to figure out the program this afternoon. I started researching hard core about last year this time. I have since given up my subscription to ancestry due to costs, but for some reason I feel compelled to try and move forward. I am having a lucky streak on my mom's side since they have been in the states longer than my dad's side. Which to say the least is going no where due to the fact that I can't read Ukrainian. Anyways if your interested you can download a demo here. It works great with Macs and I am in love, I just have a lot to learn now.

Other than that I have discovered that Blogger works way better on FireFox rather than Safari. I couldn't link on Safari or spell check without entering the code myself, which is to say I would rather hit a button than code myself. So I am trying for zero spelling errors from now on. I think my fingers just type faster than my brain.Anyhoo keep on the look out for my 100th post coming up soon, for hopefully a fabulous giveaway. I haven't a clue what but I am thinking! Until then!

Flowers Everywhere

Well you all know I tend to get a tad crazy when ordering things in the new year, I kind of bought to much. So chekc out some of the new items going into my Etsy shop hopefully by the end of today. So chck them out at Vintage Recreations.


I am so in love with these flowers they are great for anything, from scrapbooking, to jewelry, to additons to clothing and purses. So many things these guys can be used for.




Hope your all having a great weekend! Also this is my 98th post almost to 100, and I don't think it has even been a year yet, almost but not quite if memory serves. Granted my memory doesn't always serve but you know what I mean. Until next time.

Books I Thee Love

I love this author, Mary Janice Davidson, and she is local to Minnesota too. She writes these great books, very fast reads, but the characters she creates are just hilarious with their personalities. You can check out her site Here.



This series about Queen Betsy, is my favorite of hers. Very witty and hey who doesn't love to read about characters in her own hometown. Plus did I mention how much I love this author. So if your looking for a quick read, nothing to serious more fun, than definitely check this author out, and may I suggest you start with her undead series. You can tell because all of the titles start with undead and something. Hilarious I tell. So when you cable, phone, and Internet go out, just like mine did yesterday, I say hit the bookshelves or library.

Curious how I am doing without a nihgt of Internet. Well, I know it was awful, especially being without the Internet, the TV I can manage, but the web! Let's jsut say at least I had a few good books handy, otherwise I would still be pulling out my hair.

Vintage Findings Galore

Well my wholesale orders are slowly coming some pretty fast, but I just love receiving all of this mail. Too ad I have to pay for it! Anyways I said I would share so here are some items that are going up or are up at Vintage Recreations.

New Valentine Goodies!

Well I have some new Valentine goodies over at the shop and some new jewelry findings as well. I kind of bought a ton of stuff to start the new year out and I have way to much so I am sharing with you guys.

Also this is my 96 post so I am almost to 100. Can you bleieve it I sure can't so to celebrate I am going to have some sort of a give away not quite sure what yet, but stay tuned for that news. Hope you are all having a great weekend. I myself am having a lazy sunday and relaxing. Until next time!

Check, right off the list

Well ladies and gents, I have been a busy little bee lately. I have been making lists and lists for the business and slowly and surely have been checking them off. It's terrible but right now it is like an addiction, what can I check off tonight for my business resolutions. I can't share any of the secrets right now but something is coming up that you ladies might be interested in.
Oh okay you twisted my arm. I'll give you a hint, this year I have started to buy some of my supplies wholesale, to cut some costs due to the lack of free time now that I am working a day job. Well I really don't need 1200 of any one item so I was thinking of trying to sell off some of the lots for you guys. We'll see how it goes, you know how i love to hoard my vintage materials.

Anyways besides my little lists and planning out next years art festivals I have another addiction. I know two what is a girl to do. I am so addicted to the take home and bake baquettes and brie lately. I am on my third loaf this week and Oh actually likes the new kind of brie, so he has been helping me eat it all up. How's that for a nice dinner, some warm piping hot bread from the oven and some nice brie. Probably not the best in the carbs or dairy for my case, but it is such a nice light and easy dinner, tonight we are adding some pasta salad. I know another carb but you know how us Ukrainians love carbs. I could easily live off of carbs and fruit for the rest of my days and well some chocolates.

Well I am off to check out my list and see what work I can accomplish tonight. Unitl next time!
