Recently, while at my favorite hang out, I met Amy, a local artist who owns Bohemian Spirit. I had been in her studio/store two locations ago and was a little overwhelmed by the massive quantities of vintage goods. We were the only two in the back room of the Red Cup and began chatting. She told me she was moving to another location and I told her that I was looking for some things to take my summer cabin back to it's 40's/50's glory. She told me to stop by and she would see what she had. Well, it was worth the trip. I found a wonderful bed spread several valances and a couple of sets of curtains. They were all perfect. I purchased a couple of additional items including three hanging lamps. Any guesses on how much I spent? $20.00! Deal of the century. I can't wait to get out to New Mexico and get some pictures of the goods in action.

Favorite Podcasts
I traveled across 3 states three times this summer with my children. My company: my iPod! I discovered several podcasts and a couple (actually 3 to stay with the theme) of them I really have to mention because I LOVE them.
Creative Mom Podcast: Amy does a great job covering all types of art, creativity, parenthood, etc. I look forward to this every week and I love all of the creative promts and book suggestions. I have also participated in a Artist Trading Card exchange hosted by this group. I have to say I have also listened to almost all of the archive episodes.
CraftSanity: Another great podcast. Jennifer Ackerman-Haywood does an interview show. She interviews current creative minds...many of them fellow bloggers. It seams like every time I discover a new creative person that I enjoy they appear on her show.
Writers on Writing: Barbara DeMarco-Barrett interviews writers, editors, publicists and agents. LOVE IT! Again, I have listened to a lot of the archive episodes, but there are sooooooo many....I think over 300. Anyway, I have plenty to keep me busy and I have learned so much about the writing industry. We will see if it helps :)! I have also discovered some of the best books that I would not necessarily pick off the shelf without hearing the author discuss it on this show. I can also recommend, if you are interested in writing, Barbara's book, Pen on Fire.
These are just a few of the ones I listend to...all great and all pretty popular! Let me know if there is a Podcast you can't miss.
