Mailboxes

If you didn't know by now- I am a little excited that RH has "planted" my mailbox.

But I also noted that numbers are located on the garage only and not on the mailbox.  I had noticed one of my neighbors had lovely stenciled lettering on the side of their mailbox and had thought that RH homes provides this for ALL mailboxes.  I was wrong.  I knew I was wrong as I took a closer inspection of the mailboxes in my neighborhood and noticed that a few of them had that blocky stick on numbers you get from Home Depot and not the pretty calligraphy invested in by my neighbor.   

In a quest to do something just as pretty as my neighbor  I started searching Pintrest boards and quickly found what I needed on my favorite handmade site, Etsy. 

Here are a few of my finds.   Which one would you vote for?

All of these are from one company back40life.  I like the styles and I like the fact that I can get 2 sides for $15.   In addition I am impressed with the nearly 12K sales, which for me says that they are doing something right.  I will continue to look but I doubt I will find something better.  

India, Etsy and A name

Life is hectic this week.   My husband is in India attending a wedding (wish I had off to go!) and thus its just me and the boys.  I guess they took pity on me the last couple of days and have been quite nice to each other and no fighting.  Heck even my picky eater has been eating his food with very little coaxing.

 What do you do when you partner in crime is having the time of his life without you?  Work  on your Etsy orders of course!  I have been running an Etsy shop since 2009 for fun versus need of income.  My shop specializes in natural hair and skin products and I have quite few regular customers.  Etsy takes up what little free time I do have which generally means I am busy from sun up to sun down and then sometimes past that.  This shop is how I am paying for my gourmet island and I am currently $400 away from goal. 

And what's his name next door has a name!  My SR supplied that the other day and I am glad she did.  I swore his name was like Thomas or something to that effect.  I was waaaaayyyyyy off!
