Hope springs eternal, today and always!  What a wonderful day so far.  The weather is perfect and all the little plants and seeds are growing.  Oh how being off work today would top it all off.  But off to earn my keep...

Hopefully after work I get to have these same energies!!!  Because there are things to do around here...a big list of goals and tasks.

Here is a sampling of more engravings I will be putting into the Etsy shop.  Very exciting stuff.  Old and beautiful engravings...
Cheers...

New Years highlight!

Here it is caucus day in iowa.  We got a call last night to take part in a straw poll.  Ron Paul was the answer!  We have never done the caucus thing since we are new here.  The only signs we have seen in town have been for Ron Paul.  It is just the main stream media who black out the truth.

I'm just downloading some podcasts for work and having a cup of coffee.  

This week (hopefully tonight) I have some really awesome antique illustrations from and antique book-set of works by Charles Dickens that I will be listing in my online etsy shop!
One of the illustrations

 They are some sort of etching.  Like a wood cut but carved onto a copper or metal plate of some sort, and then inked and pressed onto paper.  The book is from 1870.  The only reason I would even desecrate a book is because it is in such bad condition that it is unreadable.  By this I mean it is stained, ragged edges, brittle to the touch and just plain falling apart!  haha  There are dozens of the illustrations.  They can be used to frame or use in crafts.  I will be listing them in my shop soon.

This year looks to be an improvement over last year!  Let's hope so anyway!
Cheers
