bestyears, you should be proud of such a lovely accomplished daughter.
she represents her company so well and seems to be happy in her work.
Indeed!
Wonderful! Your daughter is very well spoken and does know her stuff. Congrats on a talented daughter.
Kitschykitch & Kswl,
thank you for thinking of me . things are getting a bit better every day. there are times i can go a few days and manage quite well and then for no reason I go to pieces.
but that said i do see more light at the end of the tunnel.
i realize now that i still have a daughter and grand daughter that need me so I am working hard on trying to stay strong for them and i guess myself.
i am lucky to have them and am trying to be positive and count my blessings.
i know my DH would have wanted that.
Thank you for your post, Lyban. Seeing something other than the huge hole left by your loved one is just a tiny reassurance that your life will still have joy. DH and I were at a poetry reading yesterday and an author read one about that "rogue wave" Annie described so well. It is still such early days for you, keep taking care of your grieving heart.
Just sending hugs your way and prayers for healing.
Nicole, i also enjoy seeing your finds.
i have not done any shopping for a while but i love seeing other peoples threads with their shopping.
Apologies for the swerve, but mtn's post reminded of a really interesting YouTube video I watched recently, about carpet makers in India, supplying handmade rugs to stores like Pottery Barn, etc. Perhaps some here might find it as interesting as I did...
Big difference between hand knotted and tufted. And a ton of variables beyond that.
Yes, of course, which is why I mentioned quality differences. But, as you see, the choice was between hand loomed, and tufted. The $1250 one was not knotted either.
Have to look at the video. When we travelled to India, we visited a place where they dyed cloth in big clay vats. The merchant we met with kept showing us things and then rattling off high end brand names, Things like "Osborne & Little," which is kind of insider-y. I don't doubt it though...
I like the black also because of less buttons
The dress and jacket look adorable on you. You can wear camel so I don't have to. :)
I like it all! I do love pique in the summer, so classic and cool. And you have such a warm smile, KSWL. Also sending hugs. Hope DS2 and DH are knocking it out of the park.
What maddilee posted. I buy individual albums on iTunes all the time without a subscription. Of course, they want you to subscribe to Apple Music, but it's not necessary. I try to buy physical CD's and albums when possible, but it's not always possible so I go to iTunes.
I have a Spotify app on my phone but I almost never use it because I don't agree with their business practices on how they pay artists.
Thank you maddielee and others for the advice.
what maddielee says is going to work out perfectly.
my GD is 13 years old and she tells me that i can send the clean version (apparently there are two versions) so that is what i will do. thanks for all the help.
