Squirrel and Bluejays

I was hunting for a title to this post and looking out the window when the title happened.  There was a blue jay sitting in the bush next to my patio when suddenly from the left a squirrel charges in chattering away and takes a running dive at the jay.  The jay takes off squawking and shrieking while the squirrel sits down and chomps a nut from the overhanging palm.  Odd, a little surreal, amusing and unexpected.

Kind of like this morning.  First a sale on Etsy, someone in New Jersey will be getting a lovely batch of costume jewelry shortly.  Sales are still rare enough to be exciting.  As an added bonus now I can pay my December bills in full!  That is a huge relief.

Next I see a note from Etsy, I made the front page!!!!  The Bronze Leaf velvet scarf was there, sadly I did not see the event, but another shop keeper (thank you CheapBoutique!) did and took a screen cap for me, and indeed there it is at the center of the bottom row.

O.K. so the screen capture is not exactly a stunning picture, but it proves I was there. I did it, finally.  I am slowly making progress in my Etsy goals, this might work after all.  One small step for Hanna, one giant leap for The Golden Raven!  It is really the little things that make me smile.
