Brief Service Announcement

June 14, 2011 by
To all the bloggers out there:

Recently, I’ve had a couple of encounters with fledging bloggers that made me feel a bit weird and rather uncomfortable, as a result, I have chosen to make my entire blog roll private.  If you’re a blogger and I followed your blog publicly, I’m still following it, only I’m doing so privately these days.

I just thought I’d let you know.  I’ve had a handful of emails arrive this morning from people asking me why I’m not reading or following their blog any more!  Oh no! 

I’m still reading, when I have the time, 
you just cannot see me anymore — I wear an interwebular
invisibility cloak…just call me Hermoine!!!  

Thanks,
J

Service Announcement

May 26, 2011 by
Bonjour, my friends!

Just a quick note to say that with RW’s departure for the fire season, I’ve found myself smack dab in the middle of my summer transition here which involves settling in solo, generally not sleeping at night, being overwhelmed by how filthy every nook of my home is and freaking out about how much there is to do every single day!

It’s taking me even longer than usual to get on top of my pile of email and Etsy correspondence, especially after my recent holiday, and I’m trying to not feel stress about it by telling myself, every hour or so, that everything will get done.  Eventually!  What is bringing me immense comfort is making sure that I take some time to do creative work every single day.


I’m chipping away a little bit at everything, all at once, and while it might not be a fantastic small business strategy, it’s easier on my soul this way.

I’m so sorry if I have you tapping your fingernails impatiently in regards to my correspondence delay.
And I’m so thankful, as always, for your grace. 

Hopefully I’ll get The Gables in ship shape over the next few days.

And that’s that, in a nutshell.
Have a beautiful evening!

With abiding affection,
The Plume

I Quit: A Brief Service Announcement

January 29, 2011 by
I found myself feeling like a small, dusky grey mule, 
schlepping the weight of some of my social networking
about these territories, hither and yon.
So I quit.
I’m no longer on Facebook.
Rather, I’m no longer squandering my time on Facebook!
But I still like you.  All of you!
Very muchly.
You can continue to find me:
on Flickr, 
on Pinterest,
and on Etsy.
xx
