Good news and sad news
Well I didn't take the weekend off after all, instead I continued producing totes, filling some wholesale orders, finishing up lots of work that was piling up and why? because I am going into surgery Thursday morning, that's the sad news...I need to have a Hysterectomy,I still can't believe it, it refuses to sink in...I've been thinking if I should post this or not and decided I should mainly to get you girls to get your yearly check ups and not be lazy about it!! some stuff came up during my regular yearly PAP that needed immediate attention, I am still trying to figure things out, it will probably take a while to process but the good news is that I will get to keep my ovaries which will not send me flying into a full blown menopause just yet.
I should be up and about in a week or two, my Dr. says a month but knowing myself I can't keep still for very long...I was also thinking how lucky I am to have had 3 beautiful children and how my womb did such a wonderful job carrying them.
So having said all that life goes on and here are two new totes posted in my shop
This is a small tote, I call it the Cutie-Pie Tote:
and the Paris tote is much bigger and has a vintage white bead chain with charms on it including the Eiffel Tower...Ah Paris! 
have a charm-ing week!
How much are you asking for the paris tote? I love it!!! I hope you have an speedy recovery!!!!
Blessings, Brooke
