Jewelry Drawer

So just a month or so ago, I was so excited for my new jewelry display - mostly.

It's fabulous, but wasn't quite big enough - and didn't really hold a variety of jewelry . . .

And since moving my store to Etsy - I'm checking it out regularly.

I found an old letterpress drawer. It's in great condition - and perfect as a jewelry rack -

Then I found some unique hardware including curio knobs, eye screws and decorative hanging pieces.

I love it. If I didn't need to go to bed I might just sit and stare at it for hours!!

Tonight is our annual Youth goods & services auction.

I'm not a baker by any stretch of the imagination - but I'm pretty good at copying something relatively beginner!

Hope it brings in big $$!

The thing about Cancer is . . .

It never inflicts the worst of the worst. It doesn't take down the world's worst tyrants or evil doers. It's been my experience that it finds the most pure hearts to feed on.

My father has been hit with the "inevitable" prostate cancer and my favorite cousin (just a year younger than me) with breast cancer.

My heart hurts that these two amazing people have to say their bodies allowed that horrible infestation. But in all honesty, the more I see cancer in the lives of those close to me, the more I realize it is the strong and amazing who are given the cancer challenge.

Maybe it's because those amazing people can show the rest of us what it is to endure the worst possible scenarios with grace.

I'm sure both my father and my cousin will make it through to the other side of cancer labeled "survivor" but before then, I will be praying unceasingly that the will feel less burden and more support and love than necessary.
