New Everyday Icons Notecards

In addition to new candles, we have new notecards too! On the back of this one is written the following:

Senior Moments Relief

Prayer

Falling on my knees, I beseech you to quickly halt one sure sign of advancing age: Senior Moments. Grant me the ability to recall peoples’ names without awkward hesitation or obvious embarrassment. Allow me to move from one room to another without forgetting the reason why I’m going. And in your infinite mercy, I implore you to remind me that I drove the red SUV to the mall before I report my green 2-door sedan as stolen!

Amen.

Beads and Beads, Oh and Some More Beads

Someone bought 40 of these beads today.  

We wonder what crafty project will follow?

And speaking of beaded things, we said goodbye to our last chandelier today.

And we are wondering whether we should get more...
