While visiting my family over the holidays, my sister Kathie commented on my handbag. Later on she showed me the handbag she had designed and made for herself. It was similar to the one I was carrying. I was impressed. While we were walking downtown - our hometown - we visited a small coffee shop. My son suggested to me and my sister that we should open up our own shop. Her selling handbags, her daughter selling coffee, and me selling my paintings. My sister just kinda laughed like "yea, right".
This morning when my daughter and I opened our gifts from my sister, we found beautiful handbags! I called Kathie and exclaimed how lovely they were. Much better than the store bought handbag I carried. I suggested she sell hers. They are much more "sturdier", much better made. I told her I was going to post the image on my blog. She asked me to also post her email so if anyone wanted to purchase one, they could email her. Keeping to my sister's request, here is her email: kathierobinson@bellsouth.com.
While casually talking to her, she told me her son and his wife and their baby were on their way to her house. What? Did I miss something here? My nephew has no baby. Indeed, they do now! His name is Jace and he is 4 days old. His mother is a drug addict. Department of social services stepped in. The baby is suffering from withdrawal. My heart melted. Danny and Stephanie had been wanting to have a baby but have not been able to. Jace, my sister's first grandchild, is the miracle baby. Kathie told me yesterday he's lost weight and his color wasn't too good. Today, his color has improved. Hope. After my nephew and his wife spent the entire night up with the tiny baby crying, Danny found himself restraining from tears. Hope.
Added my painting which I recently sold. I had it framed today. What a difference a frame makes!
