I sold another fabric covered journal this past week.  When I sell something, I love to check people’s feedback to see what other things they purchased (yes, I’m nosy).

From doing this, I came across a wonderful new Etsy store (The Conservatory)and made my first purchase (a Chocolate Satin Double Bloom Headband) from Danielle.  I’m now interested in one of her clutch’s, two of her onesies (one being custom made to have Brody’s name on it) and a Chocolate Satin Bloom ponytail holder.  I’m addicted to this seller!  LOL!

What sold me on her stuff even more was her story.  Please take time to read her story, check out her store and if you like something, help support her and her family.

I have never met Danielle, but through our Etsy “chats”, she has been so kind and personable.  She has been so great to work with (my custom orders).  I’m excited to get my new purchases from her (and watch for a bloom in my hair).  I know you’ll be wanting one too.

My husband found out about a coffee place near his work.  I’m not sure how long it’s been there, but I don’t know that he would have ever found it if someone hadn’t told him about it (since he doesn’t have a reason to go down the street that it’s on).

The place is called Hope Cafe.  They serve coffees, teas, soft drinks, shakes, breakfast items, sandwiches, salads, desserts, and more.  Their prices are really good and the service is great!  This coffee shop is very large with plenty of seating.  The three of us went, found two comfy leather chairs and sat down while Brody looked at us both.  It was so relaxing and peaceful.

I had a Decaf. Almond Mocha and Jason had a Mocha.  We both liked what we got.  We will definitely go back and maybe check out something other than coffee.

Every morning I wake up and the first thing I do when I go downstairs is to get some water.  Here is what I found today….
