Baubles, bangles, beads, and bothers

The last two weeks have been very frustrating for me. First, my studio developed an odor.

That odor blossomed into a stench.

Before I knew it, I was dealing with a pungent REEK.

The smell seems to be a dead mouse in the wall. But I don't know why it is lingering so long. At first, I was patient. I simply packed up beads and hauled them to the dining room to work on.

I figured that in a few days, I could take the bracelets that I'd made and head back to the studio and list them in my Boutique.

Little did I know that the REEK would grow.

And that my website would disappear.

As in- gone-

all gone-

not there-

no access because it doesn't exist anymore!

Sob.

I tried everything I could to contact the webhost, Pappashop, got no answers. So, I've hired Hope at Paper Relics, who designed the pages, to look into it for me.

In the meantime, my boxes of beads and I are hanging out in the dining room with a stack of over 40 bracelets and I just keep on making more, biding my time until the studio is stench-less.

Once the room is safe to enter without my eyes watering from the hideousness of whatever is decomposing, I hope that my beloved Boutique has been restored.

If not, there is always Etsy. But, that just isn't the same. I miss my online store! It probably ran away from home because I'd neglected it for so long. It thinks I didn't love it any more.

But I do.

Please come home, little store!

Sorry about the disappearance of your store. After seeing some of your bead creations I am certainly ready to part with some of my money. Can’t wait until you’re back!
