You wrote this straight from you heart, the feelings the punctuation have so much emotion in them that I was still reeling for a couple of minutes before I could write this comment down. All the best for your new venture and may all good positive things come your way dear lady. Making the 'vintage buyer lady' your master seems like a very good idea. She seems very 'capable' and business minded plus she didn't think twice about giving you some sound advice. :)dipteahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16235678101106805108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235431019167859021.post-42372060479323664972010-10-04T13:07:16.589-07:002010-10-04T13:07:16.589-07:00New potatoes are the yummiest :)

First, I'm glad that you ...Oh, my poor potato!<br /><br />First, I'm glad that you renamed your etsy store. For some reason that kind of sat ill within me. Maybe just because Marie is someone I don't know, but kind of imagined her to be your alter-ego from another time period. I think I was mainly just jealous that you had another identity that I didn't know. It also frustrated me every time I searched on etsy for SecondSkinStyle. But that was my own autopilot. <br /><br />Also, I am happy and sad for your little experience. But something that is humbling, is something that is usually really good. I think so, anyhow.<br /><br />Also also, you look amazing in this number and I love it. I feel like cardigan is exactly what I wanted to give you for your birthday but couldn't find. At least I know you have one now. <br /><br />Happy monday my little potato.<br /><br />.HaikuHaiku Ambulancehttp://www.zoecullie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235431019167859021.post-3514375430684158462010-10-04T11:30:07.991-07:002010-10-04T11:30:07.991-07:00I think sometimes we have to be confronted with a ...I think sometimes we have to be confronted with a hard choice to clarify what we want and if it's worth the effort.
