I believe in yesterday....
Spent time at the store yesterday and was treated to the Christmas Tree lighting....
Watched CBS Sunday morning show and the story of Pietown.....
Found one of my old purchases and enjoyed the picture on the cover.....when I opened it.....it is filled with a surprise......
it is a child's wish during the old days of old days when most gifts were made by her mother......
and was told the story of Bethlehem......
in the spirit of that little book and the story of Pietown (you can only buy a pie in pietown)
our snowglobes are available only at our store in Convention Hall in Asbury Park.....we only have these available.....sorry no holds, special orders or shipping.

Have you any dreams you'd like to share
After the Fleetwood Mac concert I felt the need to make a dream catcher......
My first walk on the beach after the concert I collected some feathers, driftwood and shells.....Kaylyn bought me the guitar pic neckace after the concert as a souvenir.....I found some beads and spelt out gypsy....the bird tag was from a shirt I bought in the beginning of the summer and couldn't throw the tag away......
I bought the crocheted doily at Michaels for $1 and an embroidery hoop for $1.49......it was fun to make and I look forward to adding more to it as I find different items......

Help!!!! I want to be Esther Howland
So, now I have a store in Asbury Park. I work full time commuting to Woodbridge. I bought the above picture at a flea market in Woodbridge. It was a picture from Victorian times and etched is the photographer's name and location in Asbury Park. I try to spend my time as much as possible making cards for the shop. I have a vision of what I want, again. But, again time, money and most of all doubt are stopping me. It is a romance I have with the past that haunts me, but still influences me day by day. It is the dream of the American spirit. It is a dream not be Esther Howland, but a modern day version of her. The dream of making a living by doing what you love. You either work for someone else and get a paycheck each week. This is practical, realistic and probable. Or you take that Leap of Faith and hope you can make a go of it. Right now, it is best for me to do both. I am looking forward to next year, where I feel I still can combine my job and my shop to feed a yearning to have my cake and eat it too. Do you want to know who Esther Howland is? You can read about her by clicking here.
