High 5 for Friday :: Ode to Rosepose

High 5 for Friday!! Today is a bittersweet post. First...it's my birthday, which is sweet. But, I've picked a kind of sad topic for my Friday post. Almost a week ago, my sweet almost 18 year old dog, Rose, went to dog heaven. We are all very sad. No matter how long she lived, it would never have been long enough.

However!! This week, I have been remembering all the wonderful, silly things about my dog from her younger years. So, I thought I'd share some for my H54F.

35 Years Young

Yes! Today is...drum roll please...MY BIRTHDAY!! That is all...

Oh, and, please come see me at the Holiday Handmade Cavalcade tomorrow & Sunday.

Hope to see you this weekend in Williamsburg!

Cavalcade & Counting

Just another reminder that this weekend (after my birthday!!) you can find me at the 5th Annual Handmade Cavalcade with my fellow EtsyNY team members. Come one, come all, Saturday, December 1st & Sunday, December 2nd to The Space @ 50 North 3rd Street, Williamsburg (that's in Brooklyn, yoh!) from 11 am to 6pm. It will be a special holiday event for everyone - especially those shoppers looking for unique gifts & treats.

RSVP on Facebook & follow my tweets from the event. I will be posting lots of pics...well if I can 'cause you know, my cards will be selling like hotcakes, so you may have to just forgive me if I go radio silent...See you this weekend!

Words to live by...

Thanks Lily, for lending some perspective to my Wednesday morning. Mr. B & I are headed to Bermuda tomorrow for a wedding. Clients-turned-friends of ours are getting married on Saturday at the Unfinished Church on St. George.

I have been STRESSED getting ready for this trip - my dog is a mess, our dog sitter situation is less than optimal, the weather looks bad for our flight...I have tons of product to make for my holiday shows coming up...

Ok, breathing...deep breaths...

Perspective: I'm going to Bermuda tomorrow...Weeeeeee!!
