. . . and getting smaller all the time.
Last week I got an email from a blog reader named Kim. No, not Kim of Millie's Mats or Kim of My Field of Dreams. This was just Kim. She told me of an auction she found on eBay that was a pug pin cushion and when she saw it she thought of me. Well, I wouldn't call it a pin cushion and neither would Kim, but it was a sweet little stuffed pug. Old and tattered. I already had one that size in much better shape, but the current high bid was low in my opinion, so I placed my bid sure I would not win him. Lo and behold, I got him for a great price. He fits in just fine with my pug family. The new pug baby is in the middle.
One of several repairs. He was well loved :)
Now the ironic part is that I had no idea where Kim was from and she sends me an email telling me she is going to her very first hook-in in Navarre, Ohio, and has no idea who the vendors will be. Here's the small world part. That is the hook-in where I was going to vend, so I had the pleasure of meeting her and thanking her in person for sending me the auction information.
The Arbonne party went well, me thinks, but I am happy it is over. If you've never heard of it, we were told that in the U.S. there is only 1% brand recognition. I like the fact that the products are all made in the U.S.A. and are vegan certified. (No, I am not a vegetarian or vegan or will ever be.) That just means they contain no animal fats or animal bi-products and in addition no product testing is done on animals
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)

Great piece to have for your collection and even worn you can see the details and they are different from the others. I collect the cats when I find them here and have some still in their packages, need to make them, but afraid I will ruin them;)
