with all of us going off to different places, this blog is an attempt to stay close. in athens, we were lucky to establish a fun tradition we called supper club- which is exactly like what it sounds- getting together, cooking different recipes, and eating a lot. so even though we are all spread out now, we can still come to this blog, share what is going on, share recipes- from baton rouge to egypt there should be some variety- and just continue on as friends in each other's lives.

i'm showing signs of ambition and other groundbreaking news...




Y'all. This has been a pretty big week for me! And I'm so excited to tell you about it. Seeing as I have to get up in 7 hours this will be short and sweet for now and I'll fill you in on more of the details a little later.

So for a few months Davey and I have been brainstorming ideas for a side project/business that I could try to start up. The hope is that I could get something going that would eventually be successful, maybe even a source of income, as we begin moving around with the air force and as I start trying to have kiddos (don't worry, not happening anytime soon- but it doesn't hurt to plan ahead!!)

So one of my favorite ideas that we came up with was scavenging thrift stores and yard sales for cute vintage items and then attempting to sell them online. Well, for the past few months I've been contemplating it in my head, procrastinating and only thinking about it, not really planning on doing anything with it soon. But something happened this week and I said "You know what, Wanda, you're gonna do this" haha. So I've been collecting items at a break-neck speed and spending all hours not spent at my full-time job taking pictures and uploading to Etsy.

Now I realize that 1/2 the world is trying to have a business like this on Etsy...but hey, it never hurts to try!! Go check it out. I think y'all will really like the stuff I've found (some of my favorites are in the pictures above). I even discovered that I have a good eye for this sort of thing and scored a couple of collector's items!!

Alright so I'm rambling and this is no longer short and sweet, but please go check out my shop and tell all your friends about it! I'll need support from all of yall to get this thing off the ground. I'm also going to be doing some Facebook promo stuff, so you'll see that soon too!

My shop is called Finch Finds and you can find it by clicking that link or by going to www.finchfinds.etsy.com

#2 groundbreaking news...Davey shaved all his hair off yesterday and HOLY CRAP! This military thing is really setting in now. Honestly, I almost cried when he walked through the back door, but it's already growing on me already hahah. I'll post pictures soon...

I LOVE YOU ALL!!
