Modern Charm: July 2007
http://moderncharm.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 31, 2007. Random Acts of Blogging. It's good to be related to people who are married to people who work with people who are married to people who write books. Really wonderful books. This came in the mail to my daughter by way of my Aunt Sally. Signed by the Author! How cool is that? It really is starting out to be a great book. Emily decided that she and I should read it together, which is great. We haven't done that since I read. The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. One man, completely ...

Modern Charm: September 2007
http://moderncharm.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 26, 2007. A Random Act of Kindness. Lately, as both of my readers (Hi Mom! Realize, I've been very lazy about posting on my blog. Well, laziness seasoned with a splash of blah. Really, nothing terribly interesting to report. Until today, when I received a package in the mail that made me all warm and fuzzy and awwwwwww! And fan my watery eyes with my hands. One of my favorite repeat customers, Anna, sent me a package of homemade cookies and a note with the sweetest compliments.

Modern Charm: The truth is overrated.
http://moderncharm.blogspot.com/2008/06/truth-is-overrated.html
Monday, June 30, 2008. The truth is overrated. My last post was on April 22nd. I should be ashamed! I've had, well, let's just call them "issues" and leave it at that. I could go into all the boring details - and believe me, boring is a kind word - so why don't we just all agree to believe that I was either. A) abducted by aliens. B) recruited by the CIA for a covert mission. C) selected as a designer for Season 5 of Project Runway and we just finished filming. Posted by Mendy at Modern Charm. View my co...

Modern Charm: What I did on my etsy vacation
http://moderncharm.blogspot.com/2008/07/what-i-did-on-my-etsy-vacation.html
Monday, July 7, 2008. What I did on my etsy vacation. Well, not everything, but here are a couple of my projects I did in my "DIY fit.". For my daughter's room. I also got the chair below at a yard sale for $5 and sanded, painted, polyurethaned, and recovered into the swanky version you now see. Before it was light brown wood veneer with bad '80s sort of burgundy and green faux tapestry. I think it is much happier now. I would put more pics up, but my camera is in sore need of batteries.

Modern Charm: January 2008
http://moderncharm.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 31, 2008. I CN HAZ SNO FLAYKZ? You know you live in the South when even the cats get excited about snow. And, in case you were wondering, those are not leftover Christmas lights. I love twinkle lights and I keep them up in my sewing studio. They make me happy. I'm simple that way. Posted by Mendy at Modern Charm. Random Project Runway Ramblings. Something occurred to me yesterday while I watched the afternoon of Project Runway. Christian, the fierce whining Mango. Also, PR Execs? I need...

Modern Charm: Modern Charm back on May 1st
http://moderncharm.blogspot.com/2008/04/modern-charm-back-on-may-1st.html
Tuesday, April 22, 2008. Modern Charm back on May 1st. OK, I'm getting my act together - finally- and am planning to return to my etsy shop on May 1st. So, Mendy, what gives? Sitting on the sofa eating bon bons? So, I've seen my dentist (who pulled two wisdom teeth) and my doctor. I am finally getting some sleep and I haven't had a headache in a while. My husband was actually surprised when I began sleeping all they way through the night, it hadn't happened in so long. Posted by Mendy at Modern Charm.

Friday, February 29, 2008. Happy Leap Year Day! Spring is just around the corner, and I'm loving these latest Market Totes. With a patchwork of cool spring colors. Posted by Mendy at Modern Charm. Thursday, February 28, 2008. Project Runway: Just a hair creepy. Au revoir, Queen Chris! We will miss you! However, when you proudly announced to Tim Gunn that you had trimmed your garments with human hair, I threw up in my mouth just a little bit. Gee, couldn't find any fingernail trimmings to use as buttons?

Modern Charm: December 2007
http://moderncharm.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 31, 2007. I've been reflecting on the past year and the many things that I have learned. On Jan. 1, 2007, I'm pretty sure that I didn't really understand what an "indie crafter" was. I had never heard of Etsy. But, even with a fresh head of steam and pretty new fabrics, I wasn't exactly sure how I wanted to proceed. "Feebay" was cost prohibitive. I thought about selling to local boutiques, but didn't want to do only wholesale. I floundered for a few months. It didn't sell, but it did get...
