Musings on Husbands

So - I am sitting here wondering why there is such a communication gap between me and my husband. Some examples from today - I am trying to share my interests with him (I heard on TV that couples must stay interested in each other's activities to stay married) by showing him the great new program, Picassa, that I downloaded for free (I thought that at least might interest him) and that makes all of my product pictures look great. I showed him a before, an after, a demonstration of how it was done, etc. Without change of expression, he says "and?". Really? Wow. Example 2 - I was once again trying to engage him in conversation - this time about our daughter. "Eric called her this morning" I said. "Called her what?" he says. I had to walk away. Realize that he is not trying to be cute, he is being a pain in the rear. Arghhhh! I have even made an attempt to speak golf to him with the resulting monosyllabic answers par for the course. Anyway - done with the rant. I am always amazed at my married friends who actually enjoy each others company. The HVAC guy was here the other day, telling us how much he misses his wife while he is at work. Really? I thought that was fairy tale material.

Bitter old woman signing off now!

College Themed Bottle Cap Pendants!

Thanks to the ideas of some friends of mine (yes, I have a few - friends, that is - the ideas are scarce!), we are now carrying bottle cap pendants with college team logos. Currently, we have UGA, GA Tech, Auburn, NC Tarheels, University of TN, Florida Gators, Clemson and Ohio State. I am hoping to soon have all of the SEC team available. Response has been overwhelming! Thanks, guys. You rock!

Need Your Help!

Hi, everyone! I need a little help, if you have the time. I have a few appointments at gift shops/boutiques planned for this week - I am going to take some of my bottle cap pendants and see if they will consider carrting them. What designs do you think will be best received? I would really value your opinion! You can take a look at our many designs at http://www.cowgirljewels.etsy.com/ . I am leaning towards the "mandala designs" and the ones that my Mom calls the old fasioned ones - the pictures of people with "inspirational" words like friend, think, etc. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

It's HOT!

It appears (or it became extremely apparent last night) that our air conditioning is not working . Oh my. It might be several days before we can have it looked at. Oh my. It is VERY HOT in our little house. I will attempt to pretend I am in the Bahamas - without a frosty beverage...without a pool...without a pool boy...I will try harder to pretend...

Thank You!

Thank you to Lisa and Angela for purchasing our Cowgirl Jewel necklaces! I hope that you both enjoy the free scrabble tile necklaces that I included with your order. Our inventory is low - time to make more! My daughter and I will work on some new designs this evening - hope to have more in the Etsy store next week. Thank you everyone for your support!
