Isn't this a wonderful stoneware pendant
I got from Molly?! For some reason it brings out my inner Hippy and I feel so cool when I wear it - pretty powerful stuff since being cool is
definitely not a way I would describe myself! The adjustable leather cord is great and the pendant itself has a nice heft to it. Take a look for yourself at her Etsy shop.

I also have some of Molly's buttons
that I'm in love with. I'm crossing my fingers that I'll have time to make a big totebag with these for the closure before summer ends.

Vicki tagged me awhile back for the 5 Things meme (thanks Vicki!) but I haven't gotten around to it since I've been behind on my blogging and blog reading. Anyway, here goes...

1.  Five minutes to yourself:  how would you spend them, ideally?
sitting in the sun with my eyes closed

2.  Five bucks to spend right now: how would you spend it?
I'd head for the thrift shop with my fingers crossed

3. Five items in your house you could part with, right now, that you hadn't thought of already?
oh, just 30 seconds in the kids room and I could find plenty to throw out - I just have to make sure they’re not looking

4.  Five items you absolutely, positively could never part with in your house?
boxes of family pictures, my computer because it has tons of family pictures and lots of other important info, a small statue that my mother made, momentos from my children’s childhood, Christmas ornaments

5. Five words you love?
wonderland, lollipop, loopy, ruffles, chickadee

I'm not tagging anyone 'cause it seems this has been done by most of you but feel free to tag yourself and join along :)
