I fell on the cement floor of a restaurant - causing an extreme bruise to my knee cap. So, it will be about another 6-8 weeks before it is healed. The restaurant has been very cooperative and understanding. Except, it has caused great pain and kept me from getting around like I normally do. All I can say to restaurants is to keep your floors clean - grease and water are really not meant for floors!<br />
<br />
Since I am slightly immobile, I have not been capable of creating and getting items all the items I want loaded onto Etsy. However, I have finally decided to buy a new camera. Yes, I was told by a little gal at Best Buy I owned a "dinosaur" digital camera. That's OK with me really, but I need to get really detailed pictures of my items and I cannot with my "dinosaur"! Every time I turn around, my camera's batteries are dead. I told the little gal she should see my cell phone! She got a great laugh when she saw that one. So we are going today to get a new camera - then very soon, a new sewing machine that will actually make an automatic buttonhole! Little things make me happy, what can I say? <br />

The snowbirds are leaving SW Florida now. The streets are beginning to free up a bit. It is still beautiful here, however. The rainy season has not arrived yet, so it is a great time to lie in the sun and rest my beaten-up knee. (I know - the sun is bad for you - but I use sun protection!)Henny Penny Mercantilehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05577000611103001025noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765264354526187144.post-43838433089716382772011-03-25T11:38:00.000-04:002011-03-25T11:38:43.237-04:00Do you love Doll Clothes?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7NalvrYt2m7WpYGz1pT_XgaP1I2nOUUqgTLUKtv2QOFl74fMqYWWDvBxiKWJBoVHXx9otGUOQEV3z0enNU5cURZM4wC49cJe0oFJzEbJajVFBGEUNrsig1BQU51so7hAaClF5qJD5jkrV/s1600/button+necklace+-+first+one+001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="240" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7NalvrYt2m7WpYGz1pT_XgaP1I2nOUUqgTLUKtv2QOFl74fMqYWWDvBxiKWJBoVHXx9otGUOQEV3z0enNU5cURZM4wC49cJe0oFJzEbJajVFBGEUNrsig1BQU51so7hAaClF5qJD5jkrV/s320/button+necklace+-+first+one+001.JPG" /></a></div><br />
I love doll clothes. In fact, I love anything to do with vintage dolls. I collect doll dishes, Barbie dolls and their clothes, doll aluminum baking items - pretty much anything! I even have a collection of doll shoes. A bit strange - but then again, that's me. I have listed several on Etsy - Henny Penny Mercantile. I also have taken a picture of the first button necklace I made. This one is staying with me! If you would like something like this .. just let me know. I also made them in aqua, coral, purple, pink and lime green. I have taken them off Etsy to sell privately.<br />
<br />
Since the batteries in my camera are dead again ... I will list more tomorrow! Have a great day!

I have decided to sell them privately. If you would like to purchase one, please contact me at oldbuttons@comast.net. I am sorry to cause you any problems. A store contacted me and I would love to go that route regarding selling!<br />
<br />
I am going to be listing many other - hopefully interesting - things soon. Just need to get the pics loaded and we will go from there. Doll dresses, state tags, etc.<br />
<br />
Again, contact me directly if you would like to purchase a necklace you saw for what seems to be a minute!<br />
<br />
Thanks again to all of you for your understanding and stay tuned.

They are a little hard to see, but I will be loading them onto Etsy soon.<br />
<br />
I also decided to show some vignettes I have around my house. I just love to create little displays ... just to look at. Looking at a bowl full of white buttons just makes me happy. I know ...."I live in my own little world, but it's OK, "they" know me there"! <br />
