Thinking of Dahlila

Dahlila has gotten little if any attention for a while. Her shelves are quiet, neglected. The typewriter a bit dusty, the ribbon, faded.
And then a surprise. A customer returned from last summer, bought a card and a favorite bracelet: Mixed Salad, a colorful mixture of vintage buttons that remind me of it's name sake: radishes, squash, mixed greens, lemon cucumbers, tomatoes.

I have only two bracelets left to sell. I don't know if I will make more. They are time consuming, hand stitched, more a labor of love than lucrative, which is what I need to focus on just now. Don't we all.
Still, I am grateful this customer came back. It gave me a chance to visit my button box, bracelets, typed words and cards. The later of which I hope to make more, however computer typed this time. My fingers and the typewriter...ridiculous.

Thinking of you, dahlila xxoo

Coffee & brioche

Thank goodness for Italian coffee, French brioche & apricot jam. My morning salvation.
Today I am running off to another estate sale--It's spring & sales abound! So, coffee in hand-- lists, purse, camera and I am off. Meanwhile I will leave you with my favorite typed word snippets from Dahlila. :-)
They're a nice way to send a friend a cappuccino and brioche without getting the envelope all soggy. ;-)
Have a nice day and wish me luck! You never know what I will find?
