I am always happy on Sunday afternoons. Sunday evenings are a different story, as you must get ready to go back to work. I have so much to do this afternoon. Sundays at home are so relaxing. The list of chores is growing even as we speak. But back to the relaxing part. I am in the library enjoying a cup of coffee. Really good plain coffee with cream. Nothing fancy. The internet connection is good and my laptop is doing well, so now I think I will discuss beads. Now this is very relaxing. I've noticed many e-tailers lately. They all look like they are e-tailers after they were actual brick and mortar stores. I don't know whether they were or not, it's just what I suspect. What I've noticed this year that I hadn't noticed previously, though is sales. They have sales! They didn't use to have sales. The prices were a tad bit higher too. I noticed that the more e-tailers that opened their shops online, the lower the prices became. And now they are having sales too! I think this what I've always known or read about related to supply and demand. It's become pretty interesting to see it actually played out in the market. When I finally do get an order submitted, I will be buying beads that are very inexpensive to make very beautiful jewelry. I think my mission right now, though, is to get my blog going. I think this is very important as I tell you about my adventures in "BEADLAND". I have intentions of having a collection soon. I think what I need to do is figure out what I actually want to work with. My necklaces and bracelets that are available now at www.adornablesbylyn.etsy.com demonstrate my excitement over discovering beautiful rocks. I love the opaque stones. I love Swarovski Crystals too. I really love freshwater pearls. I want to go to a mine and dig some rocks - like Emeralds. The very notion to me that our planet is full of all the colors and patterns is very overwhelming to me. Very awesome. You just go dig up a rock and make a bead or two from it. Then you sell it to someone like me who turns it into a piece of jewelry. Then I sell it to one of my great customers and they wear it. Quite astonishing. So I made a little list for this nice relaxing Sunday afternoon. After this blog entry, I plan to list a few pieces of jewelry on etsy. I have pictures and I have an inventory. Wow! I am ready! This is one of the reasons that I know I could do this full time for the correct dollar amount. Why? Because it is the first thing on my mind when I wake up and the last thing when I go to bed. I have a forty-hour a week job that has nothing to do with beads. I long to leave that job and play with my beads. That's alll I want to do,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I have to love it! So this is my rambling for the day, on this relaxing Sunday afternoon. When others are playing in the garden or watching a movie, I am in an air conditioned library, happily typing another entry on my blog and hoping with great anticipation that I can mail an order out this week to one of my customers. This is what I love. This is the stuff that makes me happiest. Let me know how happy your Sunday afternoon is! See ya next time!

I love Sunday's too. The only day I don't feel guilty if I never get out of my pajamas.
