This past few 10 or so days have been some of the roughest I have ever witnessed, felt, plowed through and just been in.
My husband and I's dear Friend Tim, so close he was and will always be family, To my children
"Uncle Tim" .
Well Tim which I will never be ever be able to put my head around left us Friday evening of his own will. It was a shock and completely devastating.
Sat morn Matthew (my husband) was contacted from friend stating Tim never showed up for a weekend of work and that was enough for Matt to get the chills and know that something was not right, he went to the home and after a few hours of pounding and getting some others their they broke into the home to discover Tim had left us.
I know that I will be forever scared from this and I did not witness the actual act like Matt did. I can not even begin to imagine what is still in his head and how scared he will forever be.
See Tim worked for us in our store and my husband spent 30/40 hours a week with him and only him, he was the last person to see him and say goodbye and he was one of the first to see him in his end. Why Tim did you have to do this?? Why???
We all loved you so incredibly much.... I just hope that you have found peace at last and know that you will forever be in our hearts!
I wish I had just one more moment to see your smile, have you call me Lele. Its just not fair that you took yourself away from us. At the wake 538 people sign the guest book.... that many people you touched! I swore I would not cry today!!!
WE all love you Tim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I had a show this past weekend in Bridgehampton NY, needless to say I was thrilled at the prospect of doing a show in a beautiful place! The location was at the historical society in the heart of the village, the Corwith House. I was able to see a few other amazing etsy sellers Chestnut Farmer, a second shop of Charlie and Sarah of Charlie and Sarah. And Morgan Street which sells fine soaps and body product, I meet this amazing person when she was a vendor at The Quirky Crafters Holiday Bazaar, which was the first show I have Hosted. I also had the pleasure to meet a new face, Hampton Jewels.
Unfortunately there was no business to say and in the afternoon a horrible thunder and lightning storm blew up and my best friend Jade and I ran about trying to get things put away before the disaster struck!
Amidst the running around my tent blew up at me in the process of closing it up and it struck the bridge of my nose and causes a bit of a cut and lots of swelling a few nasty words emerging from my mouth at the time! It really hurts!!
Show one Me none!
But at least I was able to take some new photos of my work, I hope you enjoy. I also got to spend some great quality time with my friend which is the best reward no matter what! Thanks bud!!

Okay one day I will write something that will be about go-Monkey!
Gage had his picc line removed last week and that was an amazing day!
We are still not out of it all,
it feels like we just keep going on and on.... After further blood tests they found a extremely high level of strep in his system that can or does damage to the heart, so tomorrow we are off to see a pediatric cardio specialist. He also had a very very high level of blood platelets as well. So needless to say we just still have more test and hopefully we will be able to soon find out exactly what Gage has.

Well
Gage has 5 more days of the antibiotics left, Yes that's right 5 days!!! On Thursday the 3rd of July at or around 4 pm est Gage will have his last dose of medication and then have his picc line removed. We are defiantly popping open a bottle of champagne!!
Even though this is a great and amazing moment the struggle is not over yet. We still have the Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis left that we will need to overcome next. It looks like we will have knee taps, cortisone shots in the knees as well as more medication.
The pains have spread to his neck now, the fevers are still presentand the weightloss has continued. As I have always been, I am so amazed by his fortitude and resilience.
He is terrified of having his picc line removed, even though it will be painless. He is also extremely worried about the next step as am I.
I watch him during the day and when something triggers the pain or when something stupid hits him and the tears hit its heart breaking. I just want my baby to be well. And I know in the scheme of things that this is small potatoes but to me and him its huge.
I also just want to say thank you to all who have supported us through this mess and to all of your patience as I am trying to juggle work and being a mom.
Thank You!!!!!!!

It was adorable all of these 2 and 3 year olds singing together and having their crowns turned from " little kids to big kids"
I hope you enjoy!
I also have included a few family shots from a family wedding a few weekends ago! Its not often we all get dolled up!!
