Round Top was so freakin' great! An overwhelming amount of stuff! I got some great junk jewelry to work with. Plus some super cool sign stands for my booth. And also some little presents for my mom (the woman must be rewarded for raising me right by teaching me an appreciation for junk). I went with Melissa and her friend Mariana. They are such a riot. They had me laughing the whole day. On the drive there we all listed what we were looking for so that we could help each other shop. It worked out really well. Mariana found a great table for her apartment and Melissa found all kinds of great stuff including tons of Christmas balls for her coursages.

I had a lot of fun hanging out with my girlfriend from high school. We went out to dinner at a fancy Mexican restaurant on Friday night with her and her husband. Drank a bunch of margagaritas and laughed really hard. We suddenly looked around and realized the room was empty and they were closing up! Saturday we went to N0rdstroms and shopped. It was way more fun than it should have been. It is funny how we have grown up together. We seem to go through the same things together. I came away from our time together feeling really great. I think it makes me feel whole in some way and connected to the person I have always been to be around her. We have known each other since the first day of kindergarten. Like, the person you are is kind of fragmented into all these different experiences you have as you go along but somehow, being close to someone throughout all those times helps to connect them. Okay, I am trying to get deep and that never works out well.

This morning my friend Chad (another person I have known since childhood!) with his dogs and his baby. She is so sweet! James made faces at her and she laughed. He said that babies just think he is another baby because of his bald head.

Tonight I am working on jewelry. Working on one-of-a-kind stuff with vintage pendants. I have a bunch of shows coming up in the next few months so I want to be prepared.
