Today I'm just going to quickly catch up the blog on what's been happening here with us. I am way way behind. I plan to blog more in the future, I really want to keep up! So here is my world lately.

The April Market Day festival in downtown Newnan was a great success, at least I think it was. We had a lot of traffic, it was beautiful weather, we made a lot of sales and handed out a lot of business cards. Plenty of folks said they hoped to see us back again soon. So I'm happy to say we will be set up again in June, and I'll post more details about both shows very soon.

James got a wonderful promotion at work, and he now reports directly to the corporate office. In his new role he will continue to do what he does now, but he will travel across the country to all the divisions, helping and offering support wherever needed. He will take his almost 19-years-experience with the company and share his knowledge with others. I am so very proud of him! He starts traveling shortly and is looking forward to it.

I got a new car finally! Yay! Although I love my little Saturn SUV, I've had it almost ten years and it was slowly falling apart. The list of things not working on it was growing daily. I now have a very cute 2015 black Ford Escape, and I'm loving it. It's the same size as the Saturn and drives about the same. James will use the Saturn as his new "work" car since he will just be driving back and forth to the airport every week.

We just booked our newest cruise. It's well into the future- October of 2016. We'll have a seven day cruise from New York to Bermuda. Carnival only offers this cruise once or twice a year, so we had to go ahead and snag it. Even October of 2016, the cruise was getting close to being sold out! We've never been to Bermuda. The ship will be docked there for a few days, so we'll have plenty of time to check it out. We can't wait!

The Etsy shops are doing well. Vintage sells well, as always, and we continue to find nice gems at local estate sales and auctions. I've revamped my other shop, where I was selling all sorts of pottery and jewelry components, to only carrying beads and pendants. I want to concentrate on one thing right now, and get great at it. I may consider opening another store for all the other miscellaneous pottery, like my little bowls and decorative tiles.
**********
That's about it. We are hoping to have a great summer here, getting used to James' new work schedule. I plan to spend my days really working hard on my beads, rededicating myself to losing weight and exercising, and to stop skipping my weekly yoga classes!
I'll blog again very soon!
