To Blave...

2008-12-13T08:48:00.000-08:00

When I received a message from an old friend asking if he could buy a pair of green crystal earrings from Lillydaisy Boutique, I was somewhat perplexed. I'm certain that he doesn't have his ears pierced. Apparently he has a "friend"--who happens to be a lady--for whom he wants to get a nice gift for Christmas this year. I told him that a gift of this nature would be a sure sign of affection and I asked whether or not they were dating He said, "No, not yet."

What a lovely surprise it will be for her! "I bought these Green Swarovski Crystal earrings from Lillydaisy Boutique for you...wanna go see a movie or something?"

Good luck, Mr. Romance!

...You Can Hear it Calling Your Name

2008-11-22T08:16:00.000-08:00

Being a beginner at this whole e-commerce thing certainly is an adventure. I have been learning as I go and, as I am sure you would have noticed, still have a lot of learning ahead of me.

Today's adventure began when I first woke up to the blinding sunlight spilling through the window. I have been told by photographers that natural sunlight works best when taking pictures, so I sprang out of bed and began arranging things to snap a few shots of my latest pieces before the sun moved. After taking just a few, the sun had moved (or the earth had rotated--whichever you prefer) just enough for the trees outside to cast a shadow. Refusing to give up, I hastily gathered up the layout and moved to the next room where the sun still shone brightly.

Now as you enjoy them in all their naturally sunlit glory, you may imagine me running in my sweats to follow the sun as it traveled around the house:
