This information era kills me!

Oh God!..
I'm so confused by all these Internet policies!
Just when I discovered a Google Base Service, just when I got to learn more about it in forums, just when I finally set up an account…
I discovered, that life is much easier than I thought.
First of all, Google Base is turned into Merchant Center with a bit different services.
All those huge sets of instructions I learnt to use….

I apparently do not need anymore!
Google announced that all the marketplaces will be responsible for uploading shop feeds, and all I have to do is my beloved beading:

I can't believe I wasted all this time reading piles of useless instructions and Internet marketing strategies..

A Drop of a miracle in my earbuds

There is a Singer I got to like a lot recently.
Her name is Camille. She is French.
May be, for audience more educated in French female music it would not be a huge discovery.
But it was for me, it was.
I love…numerous songs, and "Pale Septembre", in particular.
You can listen to it for free here:

It got me musing about making a piece, which would convey that mood, those emotions, truly open and tender.

Let me know if you like it.

Cheers @>->->--

Oh my God, these hammering techniques are so cool! I guess my neighbor is going to hate me from now on, but the things you can do with a hammer and a sturdy metal base are amazing!
Today in a hardware Lowe's store, I got my 15 minutes of fame.
I was explaining, so passionately, to my very dear friend, how wonderful this life would become after a proper metal base purchase. I did not notice, though, that it was freaking out a couple of men shopping for their home or garden needs.
Only later, I realized that I was passionately waving by a hammer, being fully dressed up, with hair and nails done, and speaking with a bold Russian accent.
So… I feel a strong need to assure y’all that there is nothing to worry about. Not all Russians are like that. Some are MUCH worse :)
At the checkout, I got an even sweeter surprise. A woman who assisted me with the purchase complimented on my necklace. Instead of dropping the eyes down and mumbling “Oh, thanx… I made it…” with cheeks flaming, I suddenly felt brave enough to offer my business card. And everything would be as fine as it possibly could, if she did not read the phrase “Two’s Ruse”. Puzzling, I know.
“But that’s the THING!! This name has several meanings! It’s the play on words!” - I was about to blurt out.
But it was not the right time and place to go on about it…

Ahh.. tomorrow is Sunday. Isn't it marvellous? ;)

Green Jade Jealousy

I'm sleepy on Friday, and it's a good enough excuse not to write a welcome post, sorry))

The thing is, that green and more particular jade green is announced to be a color of this fall.
Who says? - Vogue does!
Yes, and this couldn't make me happier, because I knew it by myself.
Certainly, I could not possibly foresee it would be claimed in the leading fashion magazine, but something about this rare and elusive shade of green attracted my attention to it lately.
And that means that I can justify my love for green jade and aventurine and promote earth colors with more confidence and references ready in a pocket.

As for personal, I lost my voice for a couple of days and now sound like a 60 years old smoker. Hilarious, absolutely...It surely makes me blushing, but lightens the day of my colleagues :)))


You have a goooood Friday!
