Wiggle Butt

Today was a pretty kick-butt Monday! I got to meet up with my coffee buddy and we nattered away about our weekends over mocha's and sweet treats.

Although Market was pretty slow for me on Sunday, I made the best of it and traded with some of my fellow vender's for olive oil, bread, cookies & honey.

I spent much of the afternoon cleaning and organizing my workshop as it got very messy after the weekend and needed much attention. I'm happy with it for now, and soon I'll add some paint to the walls and some proper curtains to the windows to make it cozier.

My two four-legged-friends (Johann the Weimaraner & Ludwig the Yellow Lab) kept me company while I worked: Johann "Bubbles" spent most of his time sniffing around looking for escaped kibble near their food bin, and Ludwig "Wiggle Butt" eagerly offered me his baseball hoping for a game of catch.

Mondays are also fun because a lot of my supplies start arriving via FedEx, UPS & USPS. I've become so familiar with the sounds of their trucks that I know who's hear without even having to look out the window. Our UPS driver leaves Milk Bone's for the buddies, so they know the sound of her truck well and get especially excited!

Tomorrow's going to be a great day: I've already unpacked and inspected all of the deliveries so I can begin the holiday candles. I'll also be interviewed by a local reporter for the Contra Costa Times who wants to come by and see where the magic happens and write a little article about me! How exciting is that?
