Holidays in Virginia

Due to my oversized midsection, a plane ride home to Colorado was unfeasible, so we spent the holiday mingling with friends, tramping through the backwood bramble, overeating beef stew, and camping out at the Hampden Sydney post office to watch some Christmas basketball.

Richmond Handmade Holiday II

Here are some images of my booth at the Handmade Holiday event in Richmond, Virginia. It was so nice to be a part of such a well organized and professional event. I met some local vendors and was really impressed with a lot of the booths that were there. Bill and Kay came to visit me from Charlottesville (and also to steal Dave away for awhile so that he didn't have be my male model all day). I sold my usual ties, headbands, purses, and the latest addition to my repertoire, my Yoyo necklaces, which come in different colors and formations.

Once Upon a Time

Years ago I was in a little band called Paris in Peril with two (sometimes three) of my really good friends. I recently opened up our website and myspace page and I was instantly brought back to those cold, cold, cold winter days practicing at the Alpert Street house. For at least a year I was unable to listen to our tracks, they were small reminders of how tough I thought I was back then, mixed with a little more understanding about how I was truly susceptible. We had a lot of fun making music though, and I miss seeing those guys now.
