I thought I had updated this last week when it was changed, but apparently I didn't!

What a loonnng time!!I never intended to "neglect" my little blog & friends out here, but my new job has kept me hopping. As you can imagine, starting a job with the postal service during the holiday season left me with little time to do nothing but sleep after work! I have been thoroughly enjoying this new chapter in my life! I got in a bit of a "creative funk" last year & it's just now slooowly starting to peek its way back in! While I haven't had time to get started on anything, I hope to in the very near future...<br /><br />For my customers who visit my booth at the Depot at Gibson Mill, I will be stocking in with lots of spring goodies & new candles in the next week or two! :)<br /><br />And, PLEASE NOTE for my storefront customers ~ The shop hours were changed to Saturdays ONLY 10-6. But, due to my work schedule (I am always scheduled on Saturdays), and finding someone to run the shop, there are some Saturdays it hasn't been open until after lunch. I sincerely apologize for this, but in lieu of that situation, please call ahead before you head this way to make sure someone will be here!<br /><br />Take care to all of you! And, I promise to post new creations as soon as I get going :)Pots 'n Primshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08628131309827511776noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158090018308575100.post-25942339586514713672010-11-02T08:23:00.000-07:002010-11-03T19:51:46.829-07:00With the change of Seasons comes other changes..<div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">We're finally getting fall-like weather here in N.C.! Along with the changes in the seasons, there's a few changes going on here at the shop. I was given the opportunity to take a wonderful job, and as a result there will be a few changes here.<br />Effective November 8th, the shop will <span style="font-weight: bold;">ONLY </span>be open on <span style="font-weight: bold;">Saturdays from 10am-6pm</span> & weekdays by appointment <span style="font-weight: bold;">only</span>.<br /><br />Some of my close customers & friends who already knew of this change have been wonderfully supportive & excited ~ but a little worried if this means I will stop creating..My answer to that is ~ ABSOLUTELY NOT! Once it's in your blood, you can never get rid of it!<br />I will continue to create my goodes, will be KEEPING my space at The Depot in Concord, as well as INCREASING my wholesale end (so for you shop owners who have aquired in the past, I am now accepting new customers).<br /><br />Thank you so much for almost 8 years of wonderful business & hope to see ya'll soon!<br /></div>Pots 'n Primshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08628131309827511776noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158090018308575100.post-9751369463319170892010-06-07T11:00:00.000-07:002010-06-07T11:07:28.915-07:00BIG news for THIS Saturday!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4mlSCW4r46tF2N3hgFlb6ZnqBULUFJsFNnVRrA71rT3UO6vhGVogMSxSAHQ0aUyuXjzblM89wnjlInSfYpr2wKYPCTHJkLx9kErn0dBj2xETUExQIpbLJ5GlHud5Pvu56JPAiL2y51II/s1600/girlwflag.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 314px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4mlSCW4r46tF2N3hgFlb6ZnqBULUFJsFNnVRrA71rT3UO6vhGVogMSxSAHQ0aUyuXjzblM89wnjlInSfYpr2wKYPCTHJkLx9kErn0dBj2xETUExQIpbLJ5GlHud5Pvu56JPAiL2y51II/s320/girlwflag.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480094748493151986" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:180%;">GLoRy DaYs<br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Saturday, June 12th</span><br />10am-6pm<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />This will be the 2nd annual Glory Days event at the shop!!<br /><br />There will be <span style="font-size:130%;">new handmades</span> ~ with a patriotic flare, <span style="font-size:130%;">new "<span style="font-size:130%;">olde</span>" goodes</span>, new additions to my<span style="font-size:130%;"> hand-stamped jewelry line</span>, & <span style="font-size:130%;">much more</span>!<br /><br />With the warm weather, there will be lemonade & snacks to enjoy while you shop!<br /><br />Hope to see you soon!!<br /></div>Pots 'n Primshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08628131309827511776noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158090018308575100.post-2448366026990807852010-05-28T10:32:00.000-07:002010-05-28T10:42:40.280-07:00GLoRy DaYs!<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqd-jFBCNenrWxbOY6URVohlV8uFo8dvuKNXrQ8lG8qp7NrvYKgw1uHluU_lxE4NLXH5ntxmuw-tx356G_ilQE9ZSRlyH7_FpzNwF-3_I3cHU3T3pZ44f9jLvdg_m9_s8sQnsTxb6Sh9A/s1600/IMG_1023.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqd-jFBCNenrWxbOY6URVohlV8uFo8dvuKNXrQ8lG8qp7NrvYKgw1uHluU_lxE4NLXH5ntxmuw-tx356G_ilQE9ZSRlyH7_FpzNwF-3_I3cHU3T3pZ44f9jLvdg_m9_s8sQnsTxb6Sh9A/s320/IMG_1023.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476376340494548610" border="0" /></a>With Memorial Day weekend upon us, I've done up the front display with a few Patriotic items!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnGNOw7WaiXLW1IpC1iiT643x0AvbqZEPE_Kk2EGBfbAkaIbNb6UVV64S95YSNjlrczsGmX8pBYGNEnE1hNOt2k8W39GfxAVBpbxrbFXLtcuoi5V3eLZDvGqu9V8tkoT94bPnpNQRyTAU/s1600/IMG_1021.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 205px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnGNOw7WaiXLW1IpC1iiT643x0AvbqZEPE_Kk2EGBfbAkaIbNb6UVV64S95YSNjlrczsGmX8pBYGNEnE1hNOt2k8W39GfxAVBpbxrbFXLtcuoi5V3eLZDvGqu9V8tkoT94bPnpNQRyTAU/s320/IMG_1021.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476376351376541250" border="0" /></a>Also NEW in the shop, after many requests, I've done my popular Apple Brown Betty scent in my fixens line!

He shook the jar lightly.<br />The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.<br />He then asked the students again<br />if the jar was full. They agreed it was.<br /><br />The professor next picked up a box of sand<br />and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else<br />He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded<br />With an unanimous 'yes.'<br /><br />The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table<br />and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively<br />filling the empty space between the sand.<br />The students laughed.<br /><br />'Now,' said the professor, as the laughter subsided,<br />'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.<br /><br />The golf balls are the important things - God, family,<br />children, health, friends, and favorite passions <br />Things that if everything else was lost<br />and only they remained, your life would still be full.<br /><br />The pebbles are the things that matter like your job, house, and car.<br /><br />The sand is everything else --<br />The small stuff.<br /><br />'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued,<br />'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.<br />The same goes for life.<br /><br />If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff,<br />You will never have room for the things that are<br />important to you.<br /><br />So...<br /><br />Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.<br />Play with your children.<br />Take time to get medical checkups.<br />Take your partner out to dinner.<br /><br />There will always be time<br />to clean the house and fix the dripping tap.<br /><br />'Take care of the golf balls first --<br />The things that really matter.<br />Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'<br /><br />One of the students raised her hand<br />and inquired what the coffee represented.<br /><br />The professor smiled.<br /><br />'I'm glad you asked'.<br /><br />It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,<br />there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend..'Pots 'n Primshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08628131309827511776noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158090018308575100.post-51865158420249402592010-01-11T16:01:00.000-08:002010-01-11T20:39:23.338-08:00In my blood....<div style="text-align: center;">They say once a junker...always a junker...it's just in your blood...<br /><br />I kept telling myself that as I've struggled thru a big "funk" both creatively & personally...My dear friend Judy, from the<a href="http://thespicecupboard.blogspot.com/"> </a><a href="http://thespicecupboard.blogspot.com/">Cinnamon Stick</a>, has been trying her best to help get me out of it & I truly appreciate the friendship & encouragement!
