I didn't go to church this morning. Stuffy head, achy body, cough and no rest.
I'm listening to praise and worship. I wanted to catch up on my blogging. Have I said this internet is awwwwwful! I can't get blogger to come up or anything for that matter so I'm back to the IPhone and peck, peck, peck.
Blogging on the phone is almost impossible for me. As long as I can type, I can sit for hours and read and write. Pecking and signing on and on and on and the ADHD kicks in. I can't sit still waiting.
It's been crazy!!! I love my retail job with The Loft Outlet. My boss almost flipped out when I told her I had maybe ten outfits and only about 5 fit. When I told her that I wasn't a clothes, shoes or jewelry person she bout fell in the floor. I said, "You probably would not have hired me had you known?" She said, "I don't know." She laughed! But truly I think I'm not what she expected. I think she likes me but putting outfits together has been a new experience for me. I'd just rather be thrifting junk shops. Give me a box of junk and I can pull together an outfit that is inviting but give me a mannequin and I'm lost.
I'm learning, but I don't know if this will be permanent. I can barely walk or straighten up by the time I get home. I just don't know if my body can take it. I absolutely love my boss and the atmosphere is fun! But...
Just praying for David a better paying job or me a less strenuous job. I never dreamed that finding a good paying job in Nashville would be so hard.
Just thought I'd show you a few of the things I've picked up lately. Simple is what I do best.
I picked up this fabric pumpkin at my favorite vintage store.
Yey! It's gray! I pulled out my Southern Living ironstone cake plate to display.
Something's missing. Yes! A doilie.
The fabric felt like felt. It's so soft.
That stem! Oh how I love!!! Natural beauty is the best.
I prefer a vignette to a dress shop display any day! Which do you prefer, one to the other or both?
LOL- I rarely go shopping for clothes anymore---once in a while maybe. I order from a couple of online stores that I like when I want something.
ReplyDeleteHope your hubby finds a better paying job and I am sorry your job is so hard on you.
Maybe next week will be a better one. xoDiaan
Bonnie, My daughter Kathy has taken on a second job....trying to get some of her debt paid down. She's working a grocery store....it's a lot of standing on her already sore feet. But she says the young sweet people she works along side helps make it okay. Hope you find the perfect job for yourself soon. I will give much credit for trying . Bless your heart honey. xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope you are not getting something like the flu! I LOVE doing vintage vignettes, which is no surprise, but the other side of me loves putting clothes together for my self to wear. I ponder over each one a lot so I don't know if I would make it in the retail world. Sounds like a fun job though.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they love you at the store. Your fabric pumpkin is so cute. I love that Southern Living cake stand.

I like vignettes. I'll junk shop with you any day!
ReplyDeletePS - I love those pitchers!
Love your pumpkin! So many different pumpkins out there these days.
ReplyDeleteI think if I worked in a clothing store I'd never want to deal with my own dress closet.
Buying cloths for myself is quite a task, I'm a hard fit and it takes me forever trying things on.
I'll bet they love you at the store.
Feel better soon~~

I am impressed you can blog by phone! I sure can't!
ReplyDeleteLoved all your photos! That pumpkin is beautiful! I'm making some velvet ones for my sister's birthday and I picked up a bunch of real pumpkin stems from the field trip to a pumpkin patch a few weeks ago.
Best wishes on your job! Junk shops are my favorite! But they probably don't pay as well as a retail store does!
At least you are building new skills along with the new muscles for the job! Hope it works out.
ReplyDeleteI like your fabric pumpkin♥
ReplyDeleteI do most of my blogging from my iPhone. Today I tried to take the pictures off my phone to our laptop and it would not connect.....so darn (I want to use a stronger word but I'll be nice!) frustrating!!
ReplyDeleteMost of my clothes come from thrift stores and consignment shops. I doubt I'd be able to put a becoming outfit together either....new is too unfamiliar, hehe.
Hope you soon feel better....diffuse Theves!! Put on lavender and cedarwood at night.
Bless you my friend!
I hope you are feeling better now. Loving all your Fall goodies around your home.
ReplyDeleteHappy November, Bonnie!
love, ~Sheri
Mercy, I can't stand blogging from my phone and don't if I don't have too! Bless your heart. I hope that by now you are feeling better. I love your pumpkin! Speaking of clothes...I do not like to clothes shop for myself. I have to be in the mood and then I'm on a MISSION so to speak and do what I must! I am so frugal and thrifty too till sometimes it makes it harder I think as I can't stand paying the high prices I see out there. But it's all in what you like and don't like I guess. Enjoyed the post today. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
