What Is With This Number?

100?

I popped back in to le blog to share that it's like 100 degrees outdoors, so no photo session for all of my lovely new finds...I have lots to share but my photographs are taken outside, because I'm in love with the light ;)

SO....
that's put on hold until it cools down, which will be maybe a week or so? 5 day forecast looks to be triple digits FOREVER it seems :(

AND....
I guess this is my "100Th post", mere coincidence!

....of course my previous post of my 100Th sale!

This is my lucky number for sure (well besides the dumb temperature)!

Thanks for listening to my rambling!

YaY for "ONE-HUNDRED"!

HooRaY!!!

Just popping in to share my happiness!!

I've been SO busy these last few weeks equaling a not so good blogger.
But all is well.... and this post is in celebration to my "100"th sale in my tiny shoppe!

Big milestone, such a small thing really....but for me a BIG thing!

Thank you, to my customers and my StoryBook readers!
I'm having a great time with my store and I'm appreciating your support very much.

Have a Lovely Weekend!

A Small Scene

from our backyard garden. Tonight.

The pond is so pretty under lamp light.

And my water-lilies are doing SO beautifully.
They are about three years old now, and they just get prettier and prettier every year.

Not as many fishies this year.
Darn family of raccoons come every once in a blue moon, for a midnight snack :(

They've already ate one of my favorite fish, but I can't stay mad at them too long...
they're so darn cute, with those little masks and all.

Oh.... and I've listed some new treasures in my shoppe,

Happy Tuesday!
