Selling Votes and Christmas Presents. When will it end???

Time flew by and I didn’t even notice it had been an entire month since I’ve posted!! My head has been spinning with all the “stuff” going on…personal, business, and – who could forget? – political!!

I just want to put my head down and scream “Leave me alone!! I’ve already made up my mind!” Is there anyone in the country who hasn’t? Are there truly some “undecided” voters? Hah! Seems to me the average voter just believes what they hear, then go vote for whoever sounds familiar. (See Nuri’s Blog for her wonderful rant on this subject..)

I went to our State Fair Sunday and stopped at the NC Dems booth. Wanted an Obama sticker. Wanted a sticker for Kay Hagan (running for Senate against that dainty rich entitled Republican lady-dog Dole). Didn’t want one for the chicky running for Governor – she’s slimey with the tentacles of the current administration, who are all whores to special interests & incompetent to boot. So, I asked the nice man furiously handing out stickers if they had any of the ones I wanted. He just shook his head. It was only the 3rd day of the Fair, and they’d run out of the 2 large cases of Obama stickers they’d started with on Friday. Ok, what about Kay? Again, all gone! I took a “I’m a decider! Dems in ’08” sticker, and looked over on the table for what else I could score. Then I saw it… a LARGE pile of Bev Purdue stickers just stacked up neatly. It speaks for itself, don’t it???

My Heavens! I’m going to vote for a Republican??? for Governor??? Yeah! When the Democrat choice is !!!!

Must…change….topic….

Got a tip from an OLA friend about a new site (well, new to me) for knitters and knitter wanna-be’s (that’d be me!). It’s Knittinghelp.com. They have a section to talk about your on-line or otherwise business connected with yarn. I was glad to be able to put in a plug for Dragonmum’s Hoard and all my little yarny things…. like the vintage yarn I still haven’t sold – remember that yarn? Here, in case you don’t….

Here’s my Paton’s Highland wool and a knitting book straight out of the 60s!!Chuck likes the Red Heart Wool the best!!

Now I’m starting to list my Christmas goodies! Santas for decoration, jewelry for gifts and fuzzy animals for the rugrats!

This Bisque Santa Figurine by Enesco is a 1985 collectible St Nicholas circa 1890 in the The Santa Claus Shoppe Series. The Ceramic Porcelain Figure is very detailed; he carries a Christmas tree & Toys for gifts.

Here are some of my other recent offerings. I’ve listed a ton of designer ties; it’s been fun learning about the different designers. And more destash – fabrics fabrics fabrics!!

This is one of my coolest ties. It’s from the Tsitouras collection. I really like this Halston tie with the great fall oak leaves. What can I say about the Oscar de la Renta tie? Retro!!
