Hi, I love the new hair color and I just caught up on your wardrobe. I really like the outfit with the turquoise coat with two skinny belts. Brilliant! I was hoping to get my closet up while school was on break, but I was too busy over the holidays. I really admire the way you stay on top of it.

I wanted people to see the vow of non-violence blog, but then I posted again! So check back one.

Thanks Daphne.

Melonee, the salefronts are still out of my price range!

I like the new hair color. Very chic!

Yes, yes, yes-I need to watch all, it is crazy out there. I have found some great buys though. I need to take photographs and upload. Love to get something for little or next to nothing:-). I am also finding a few great sales in the new section, Salefronts. Have you looked into it yet? What do you think if so?

Yup, taking care of the finances for sure. (don't we all need to especially in this financial climate?)

Congrats on kitty's recovery. I love the new shoes!

Hi there, I'm glad to see Salem is doing better. He looks so much like my Ozzie, I feel like I know him! LOL. Happy New Year!

Hi Cindybelle, Salem (kitty) seems to be doing a bit better. He isn't drinking and eating as much as he did before he got sick, but his appetite came back greatly and that I think is a great sign. He is also cuddling and around a lot more, instead of hanging out in the basement. I will be getting him some uva ursi, probably tomorrow when I go looking for my brother's Christmas gift. (I discovered today that he needs a belt desperately...and I think I'll get him a pair of jeans too, you can never have too many jeans...I'm doing his laundry right now and there are only 3 pairs!) Oh I digress!

Salem would love you btw!

How's kitty?

I've updated more photos, removing more backgrounds (still a work in progress) and adding some fashion show pics).

Kitty seems a bit better since last night. He was eating well and drinking a bit more and finally had a better pee. I know now that i can't let up because he is a bit better though, because he'll probably go right back to where he was. I'm off to the health food store to get an herbal to add to his routine and have made him homemade food, which he actually liked. Well it's only using canned salmon and I know he'll need different meats (and raw apparantly), so I'll have to figure that out...I haven't even eaten meat for 15 years.

My great-grandmother's jewellery was never available in stores as far as I know. That is about 1/3 of what is still around (my aunts have the other 2/3).

Thanks Melonee and Holly, I am watching Salem carefully. I was going to take him to the emergency vet today but he seems to be in a better mood and was eating and drinking out of my hand...I'm also going to try some homeopathic/naturopathic remedies, but he could have a heart attack from potassium imbalance if he does not start being able to "go".

Hello and I think that your little kitty is adorable. I hope that he gets his fight back soon. Take care and Happy Holidays to you and your kitty:-)!!!!

I hope your kitty gets better. I spent 8 hours at the Emergency vet two Christmas' ago with my darling Cindy dog, and she's still here to celebrate this year. I hope the same for you and Kitty (without the lengthy emergency vet visit.)

Hi, Amethyst Jean - How do you remove the background behind your items. I really like it and would like to try it.

I really take to items that have history!

Hello, My question regarding your great grand mother's jewelry...I looks so nice did she supply stores or boutiques? Are they still available or did she just do a few pieces.

Regarding the 'fun with photo editing', I think that it is fun. I do not have the patience to play with the original besides flipping them...so I admire anyone that can work with fine tuning. Love the new boots!
