Some really great pics today ~ love the flower shower floral bag ~ I'm needing that here with all the rain we have been getting!

When summer gets there to your part of the country, please be a dear and package some up and send it to Banjo and I in Saskatchewan won't you? There is predictions of snow for Sunday... (honestly...tsk!).

Have a lovely Friday BeadedTail friends!

The Chihuahua art and the fused glass are wonderful...I am determined to get my own glass fusing kiln this winter.

Re your question about Skin Tax:

...it depends. Sometimes I just say, "Hey, I live here and saya tidak gila (I am not crazy) so let's be reasonable, ah?" and then it's OK.

But sometimes I just get fed up and walk away. Like at my local market where I've been going 8 years. A few weeks ago I tried a new stall selling fruit and was quoted something silly like 5 times the price for bananas. I walked off without a word and my vegetable girl immediately wanted to know why. When I told her, the other customers started saying "Malu!" which means SHAME, and they all told the fruit man off. This is quite common IF you're known as a local. But I still won't buy from him because I hate cheaters. Instead I go to Mrs Mak, a nice Chinese lady who has a super fruit shop and whose son is now using me as a sounding board for his colloquial English.

BUT if I'm doing something unusual like buying furniture or getting a contractor in to fix something in the house, I ask a friend to come and stand next to me while I get quotes and arrange the contract.

Great picks, as usual. The cat pendant is gorgeous!

I'm ready for summer too!

The earrings ARE beautiful! I am captivated by the dogs in the bicycle basket--reminiscent of vacation, where it would be fun to be right now!
It's been raining a lot here, too. The upshot is that the plants are so lush. I hope to be able to work outside this weekend since it is now sunny!
