I wish this were funnier.....

So...I have a  special order for candy cigarettes that I asked the compnay to rush for me. I get to the shop and there is a "we missed you" FedEx sticker. Yeah.....it's the ONLY outstanding order I had at that point. Says they'll try again at 4:30.

Candy cigarette lady comes, I tell her I only have 13 now but they WILL be here by tomorrow. Her friend decided she only needs 8 because she has a case of 24 coming to the house.  (??) All is well. Cigarette fire is put out...customer isn't mad at me that she shipment isn't here.  Whew.

FedEx arrives 10 minutes later with a box. I look at it and it is NOT my special order. I open it.....and this is what it is.

EGGS! And nests! It's a mistake! I now have 32 dozen eggs in my shop and 46 nests. I am not kidding you. I almost passed out cold. The GOOD news was that I do still have 2 big egg orders I am waiting for payment on and one that I missed before the camping trip (SO sorry Sonja!). But STILL....this was hysterical. Off ALL the double shipments in the world....

And I finally got to sit with a rep that does 4 of my favorite/best selling companies! Yeahhhhhh. She's been a busy birdie and it's very difficult to keep up the new merchandise that companies come up with. So...expect some new, old and all in-between Curly Girl. New oil cloth shoppers. (New designs!). Some fantastic iron pieces for indoor and outdoor, great frog vases (I'm in LOVE with these things! I own 4 now!) and lots of Halloween. My favorite is a dessert tray that the little plates are black cobwebs! I can hardly wait to post all of those photos for you!

Off to talk to Mr. Landlord man about another year:))))) Kid Approved:) They almost cried when I said I wasn't sure if I should do another year. They said they love it, they are proud of me and will stop whining when I say they have to come with me for awhile. Yeah....I'm not holding my breath.

The shop doesn't have cable TV or WIFI....yet.

Oh! Amy I will take 3 of each egg if you will set them aside for me. This is your stalker Nancy (I have not been stalking for some time but will be in soon.) Maybe my Curly Girl cards will be in soon?

I want some eggs.
So glad you're home.
I must know what place that is in Albany. My mom lives in Albany....maybe that will motivate me to go visit her. :)

I wonder who was in that car?
