Black Friday
Happy Thanksgiving! Had so much fun today with my family. It was my first Thanksgiving home since I moved to Portland five years ago. We had 23 people squished in at my mom's house, and one on Skype. Turkey, ham, brisket, and bacon wrapped deer meat. My favorite was the pumpkin pie. Oh and the mac and cheese casserole, the first time I ever had that! Now my mom is organizing her coupons for the Black Friday sales, they start at 10pm around here!

Upcycled
So I pushed myself til 4 AM this past Thursday night making upcycled vintage jewelry...
I've been wanting to do this for a long while now. I spent the previous two nights organizing all of my jewelry boxes and discovering broken vintage items that I could use. It was so fun, a little trip down memory lane. I have been buying vintage jewelry since I was sixteen, for ten years now. It was fun to see some of the stuff I bought back then.
I also found some of my Mociute's costume jewelry, gorgeous rhinestone clip earrings, necklaces, and a bracelet. It almost made me cry. I forgot that after she passed, I wore most of these pieces to console my sorrow. It became my fashion statement, t-shirt, jeans, and a flashy necklace or bracelet. I never realized how much her death influenced my life. I feel like I learned something more about her and myself by revisiting these items. I felt closer to her in this moment. As the years go on, I can relate to her choices in jewelry and fashion more and more. Although this a material trait, I think it says something about the closeness of our personalities. I feel like we have a lot in common and that makes me happy. I was so young when she was vibrant and alive; she spent the last few years in a nursing home. My immaturity kept these complexities out of our relationship when I had the chance to get to know her. I wish she was here to share this with me now.

Sentimental Jewelry Box:
Mociute's jewelry is in the bottom section and top left section.
The rings in the row beginning with the bird in the front right were my Aunt Sylvia's. Behind the bird ring are two rings my father gave me over the years; the heart pendant is also from him. The earrings next to it are from my prom. The pendant next to them was my high school fav.

Busy Busy Body
I just wouldn't be me if I wasn't stressed about something..
I've been keeping myself super busy lately trying to list all my vintage items on my Etsy shop. It is amazing how much stuff I forgot I had bought for it. I need to get everything on there before I leave for my vacation next Saturday. I'm also trying to get a handmade shop up and running. I have been making jewelry for about a year now, and have yet to finish and post any of it. I also have a few photo projects that need test printing before I reopen my abandoned photography Etsy shop, ElleMyers. I'm excited to be delving so deeply into the Etsy world. I have even been teaching myself how to Tweet, a big step for me. I can only hope that if I keep working at it everyday and continually learn ways to improve, eventually someone/everyone will find me.
I would love to make money on my passions and working from home would allow me to pursue my true passion in life, to be a wife and mother. This is a scary step, but it seems like the only logical decision to make in my life right now. I need some personal satisfaction, and this is it.
This is where I have been for the past week or so:
