Well it's not a month...but it's none too soon!

I'm still trying to do html for web pages! I'd rather do that than laundry or dishes! LOL Ebay, Etsy, Bonanzle, all the ning networks, and now Twitter, can be very addictive! Oh, and I forgot Facebook! LOL
And this blog is getting neglected! When I put on the two gorgeous purses I'm listing at Bonanzle, I'll post them here.

Well...the night owl is up again!

I'm up late on my night off. I'm able to put embedded code into html, but I have to find out where I can get a slideshow to put my own photos in, to upload to my site.
I sure don't want to upload my photos somewhere else!
Maybe I can get the code from someone.
I still have to figure out the linking on my website to pages I want to make. I'll get there! You can teach and old 'dinosaur' new tricks! LOL :O)

It's almost a month!!!! Oh, my gosh!!!

Well, I really guess I'm not a daily blogger! It would be better than shopping on ebay! LOL I have been reading alot of emails, and online lately, and not listing my vintage on etsy or bonanzle. :O(
I took a look at Photo Shop, which web designers use; you can make collages and buttons or banners for web pages, etc. Well...the one that sounded right for me cost over $700.00!
I guess I will continue to use html and links to work on my web page. I have to figure out how to link a page of favorite links to an little animated angel! How does that sound for tricks? LOL 'Wish me luck! :O)

Twitter...I'm kind of lost....

I joined Twitter and found a few celebrities to follow, and just one of my antique connections. I tried searching for people I know, but I guess I need their emails???
I'm a new Twitterer who is 'twattled'! LOL
As if I need another thing, too! I'm already on upteen ning networks!
I'd better work on my website to try to sell some antiques and vintage!

I'm not a regular blogger I guess!

I guess a regular quick note each day would be good, instead of editorializing! LOL
Last Monday my DH took me to Padre Island, with three of our mutts. I took photos of him on the beach with two of the dogs...Oso (our gorgeous rust colored lab), and Buster (my little 'Jimmie Cagney' brindle mix terrier/beagle), and Bandit (our carmel colored female dog with the pretty face...who cried so much, we had to put her in the truck with the windows rolled down. She was afraid of the waves!)
I tried out my KODAK EASYSHARE V1273 Digital Camera, and I got such crisp, clear photos of the gorgeous blue sky with sea gulls, the sandpipers on the beach, the rolling ocean waves, my hubby with our Oso and Buster, in the water, the Bob Hall pier and tackle shop...even the exit sign looked great! Most of my photos look like professional quality! I couldn't even see the viewfinder with the bright sunlight, so I aimed and clicked....
I can't wait for more 'photo shoots'! LOL

It's late in the day...

It's almost midnight, and it's very quiet. All I hear is the ticking of my 1950's wall clock, and the clicking of the keyboard as I type. My hubby is in bed, as he has to work early in the morning. I work Mon. 11-7. I'm the 'night owl'...it goes with my job, I guess.
I really don't have time for this blogging, but I guess it is good therapy! LOL
You'd better watch what you blog...'big brother may be watching'! LOL Have you seen "Enemy of the State" with Will Smith and Gene Hackman? That was a 'good' movie!
I've purchased a few domain names, and will be working on a couple of websites. I have some pretty good ideas for what will be on them, and different themes for the front pages. I'm thinking of taking photos of vintage and doing collages in different themes, for the different sites. I don't know if Paint Shop Pro will be enough, or I'll have to buy a program to do that. Maybe something from Kodak?
I like to be creative, so I'd like to do it myself. Web pages are expensive too. One I liked was $350.00! It will come in time! :O)

Beautiful Bags! Purses with Pizzazz! Beaded Beauties!

I am a member of the VTLC (Vintage Tablecloth Lovers Club) and I've become a 'Linen Addict' as I call myself! LOL And as some of you know...I'm becoming a 'Vintage Quilt Vixen'! I feel like a fox in a hen house attacking, when I've had occasion to run into an estate sale to grab quilts on the second day when they are reduced in price! LOL
But now...I have a growing collectors obsession with vintage handbags...'30's & '40's tapestries, Victorian drawstring purses, beaded handbags from the '40's. '50's & '60's! And they are so difficult to part with! I can't keep them all! My bedroom is over flowing...and my husband lives there too! LOL
So, please come up with a name for my newest obsession, but please be kind! :O)

Here are two (so far...) of my purses that I have dared to part with, if you'd like to take a look! :O)
