I'm almost done negotiating the terms of the venue I'm expanding Bella Rustina to. Hopefully by next week I can announce all the details, but one teaser is that it'll be a Christmas show! And it'll kick my tail because I can hardly handle the workload during that time...
Coach Taimi and I attended the Maumelle Chamber's "Red Carpet Gala" last Thursday night. I was recognized as a new member of the Maumelle Chamber Board of Directors. It was fun to get dressed up and see people. The food was catered by Cheers and was...

I added to my office collage! When I was looking for a settee for my Bella Rustina selfie station, I saw where someone was selling the Camark climbing cat for $30, which is a steal. I didn't have time to drive to Malvern before the Christmas Bella Rustina, but I...
The selfie station for last weekend's Bella Rustina was a last-minute miracle! I was in Hobby Lobby a week before the show when I ran into Jessica, one of my exhibitors. I told her my plans and she quickly pointed out the maroon chairs I planned to use would clash...
