Thank you for your concern. I'm elated to report that, for the moment, the strike situation has died down (though the possibility of flaring right back up again at any moment is still a very real threat) and as such, I've been able to reopen my Etsy shop like usual. Hopefully things will run as smooth as silk regrading Canada Post for the rest of the summer - and far, far beyond. <br /><br />Thank you again & have a gorgeous Sunday,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-69355314003284970882016-07-17T05:53:34.798-07:002016-07-17T05:53:34.798-07:00Please don't worry for the tiniest of moments,...Please don't worry for the tiniest of moments, sweet Sanne. I did indeed have a really nice birthday. Other than the fact that it rained buckets on my b-day, it was a fun, enjoyable, lowkey event filled with family, al fresco dining (under a canopy, to stay dry), and delicious treats. A very enjoyable note to usher in my 32rd year of life on for sure. <br /><br />It really sounds like you've been hopping with activity lately. I hope that you aren't getting overworked, my dear friend. <br /><br />That's awesome about the greenhouse nearing (or having reached?) completion. I'm thrilled for you guys! I know how very, very hard you've worked and hope that it's even better in the end than you'd been imaging/envisioning it would be. <br /><br />Thank you again & have a beautiful mid-July weekend.<br /><br />xoxo ♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-7269494539505211042016-07-16T22:32:00.248-07:002016-07-16T22:32:00.248-07:00Thank you, and I was thinking of your postal dilem...Thank you, and I was thinking of your postal dilemma earlier in the month and hoping it all resolved itself quickly. xxElizabeth g.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08701073937645312469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-28575606194815851622016-07-16T08:09:09.690-07:002016-07-16T08:09:09.690-07:00What a beautiful and festive hat.

I hope you had a fabulous day, with lots of love, sunshine, gifts and your favourite candy and desserts. I have been extremely busy at work, everybody is on vacation except me, so I have worked hard. And we have worked hard at home too finishing the greenhouse project. Wednesday, I cleaned it inside and moved in. It is a dream I didn't even dare dreaming that has come true. Have a lovely day, my dear friend.

I didn't/couldn't eat everything on the table, but as I recall there was...barbequed chicken breasts and thighs, and pork chops; oven roasted potatoes, cream corn, wax beans, sauteed mushrooms, sauteed asparagus, pasta salad, gherkin pickles, and all the classic toppings (sour cream, butter, chives, bacon bits, cheese) for baked potatoes to put on the roasted spuds. Then for dessert, I made and brought over a GF/EF chocolate cake with fluffy white frosting and GF/EF blueberry, white chocolate & sour cream muffins, plus a carton of GF/EF Neapolitan ice cream. Definitely the biggest spread I've sat down to since Xmas - and I think I might be full until next Christmas after it. :D<br /><br />Thank you sweetly, I hope so as well. Definitely going to be taking things very, very easy this weekend.<br /><br />Tons of hugs,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-80295315402793651742016-07-15T14:46:53.235-07:002016-07-15T14:46:53.235-07:00Thank you ever so much, my darling friend.

They speak of late spring/early summer so nicely, IMO, and were a lot of fun to sport. <br /><br />Agreed! There isn't a thing in that film that she wears which I wouldn't at least attempt to pull off myself, too. :)<br /><br />Tons of hugs & happy weekend wishes,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-38157205089556782072016-07-14T21:03:43.089-07:002016-07-14T21:03:43.089-07:00A fabulous and grand chapeau to be sure!

I did indeed just celebrate a birthday - though, to no one's surprise around these parts, it rained up a storm that day, so I wasn't able to photograph my b-day outfit. No bother though - just a perfect excuse to replicate it again later this season when the sun is out again. :)<br /><br />Many hugs coming right back at you from Canada,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-4677772706093732762016-07-14T01:33:26.951-07:002016-07-14T01:33:26.951-07:00This is a FABULOUS outfit.

I spent the two days prior and morning of prepping and cooking for it, so between that and Sunday itself, I'm feeling things from a health standpoint now, but that's okay - you only get one b-day a year, after all. :)<br /><br />I hope that your celebration rocked this week, too. I've been thinking of you big time and sending tons upon tons of the most heartfelt and cheerful birthday wishes your way! <br /><br />xoxo ♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-15026304567569815992016-07-13T16:10:27.290-07:002016-07-13T16:10:27.290-07:00Wow!

I don't have that many, but I find that so long as you have various sizes, you don't, objectively, need a ton (as lovely as such would be). They're definitely a "must have" accessory, in my opinion, if one sports vintage hats - I know mine have saved me from losing a hat to the elements on many an occasion. <br /><br />Big hugs & joyful July wishes,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-68691169091589576882016-07-12T18:40:28.461-07:002016-07-12T18:40:28.461-07:00Thank you very much, sweet lady.

This past week didn't offer up too much on that front and in the end, probably to no one's surprise here locally at this point, it rained buckets on my birthday. In my 32 years of life, that's only about the 3rd or, maybe, 4th time I can recall having rain on my birthday, no matter where in the world I lived. <br /><br />I'm really starting to think we're just going to get a damp summer from start to finish and am now focusing more on hoping for a lovely, drier autumn. <br /><br />Mother Nature sure is in a peculiar mood in many parts of the world this year. I'm sorry that you've been having crumby weather lately, too. Let's not give up hope that things could still turn around and who knows, maybe we'll having sunny, stunning Augusts and Septembers.<br /><br />Many thanks again & happy wishes for the rest of July,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-50961201624473590482016-07-12T09:53:42.162-07:002016-07-12T09:53:42.162-07:00That hat is amazing.
