Yes, another day without my beloved computer.

sigh.

BUT... it is getting fixed.

Did I mention I am on an oooold keyboard too?

sigh.

Can't wait for tomorrow, when the computer will be back where it belongs,

in our office!

Today I want to share a few items from my new treasury:

"my favorite summer colors"

original beaded necklace

www.RhiannonsJewelry.etsy.com

Today's pictures will be from that.

You can find the entire treasury here:

I really enjoy browsing on etsy. I always find things I just love,

but unfortunately I can't afford them all!!!

So, I 'window shop' and then put some favorites of mine into treasuries!

handmade collar

www.HAREMDESIGN.etsy.com

For instance,

the above handmade collar is just one of 80 different designs and styles that this shop offers.

It is based out of Istanbul, Turkey!

Since I can't personally go to Turkey at this time

(but really, really hope I get there some day)

I can go 'window shopping' in Turkey, via etsy!

lemon jasper drilled stone

www.Balibagus.etsy.com

The etsy store Balibagus is based out of New Jersey, USA, but seems to have primarily stones and carved bone in the Balinese style.

They have some really wonderful carved recycled bone pendants.

Here is one:

I'll end today with a favorite Funny Poem from

'Arrow Book of Funny Poems'

collected by "Eleanor Clymer

This was a Scholastic Book item, from my 5th Grade year.

No, I won't tell you what year that was,

but

it was a 'while ago'!!

Otherwise

"There must be magic,

Otherwise,

How could day turn to night?

And how could sailboats,

Otherwise,

Go sailing out of sight?

And how could peanuts,

Otherwise,

Be covered up so tight?"

- Aileen Fisher

Have a 'cool' summer day!

Roaring like a lion?

ROARRRRRrrrrrrr!

Is your March coming in like a roaring lion?

March comes in like a lion...

and goes out like a lamb.

That's a saying we have here.

I have no idea where from, I've just always heard it!

I thought today it would be fun to feature some

roaring lions!

These big boys are not happy.

In fact, they look down right grumpy!

But then, sometimes a lion looks like he is roaring,

when actually he is only yawning!!

Or maybe he just has an itch....

"Death was afraid of him

because

he had the heart of a lion."

- Arabian Proverb

But then again,

maybe he is really just not happy!!
