5 Books That Have Changed My Life
Topic: FUN STUFF







These are the five books that have changed my life for Tigerluxe

1.) ME TIME by Stuart Semple available on PDF here. I bought this E-book as a joke for myself and I practiced all of the exercises for 14 days with my daughters for fun, just to see if it really worked, and most of the things we visualized came true using his 14 day exercises. I go back to this book even now. It's pretty amazing!

2& 3.) The Key and Be the Person You Want To Find are both Zen based books from here. Despite the fact that I am Catholic, I love all of Cheri Huber's Books. They have changed my life completely.

4.)Excuse Me Your Life is Waiting by Lynn Grabhorn
Isbn# 1-57174-381-2 My mother gave me this book. I love Lynn's direct no nonsense approach to life and the power our feelings have in our lives and how to (as she writes) "keep your valve open"
I like this book better than any other self help book about 7 habits or Deepoks exercises.

5.) Creating an Herbal Body Care Business by Sandy Maine Isbn# 1-58017-094-3 I really like Sandy's Business Advice. I didn't buy this book with the idea to start an herbal business, it was the way she describes business in today's world. She writes that it's not a HOW TO book, but a "HOW CAN"
I have had two businesses in the past that I ended up getting bored with and selling, and most of the business books and courses I would take have always had the same messages. Evaluate the market for your products, location, a two syllable business name, a simple logo, advertising over the crease of the newspaper on the right hand side, blah...blah..blah.
I realized after reading Sandy's book and the interviews of other business owners that both times that I was in business, it was just to push a product and make a quick buck. Sandy's book is the BEST business book I have ever read.

1920's Cloche Hat
Topic: PATTERNS







I made this hat for the swap from a pattern I purchased awhile ago from The Vintage Pattern Lending Library
I wanted to add ribbon and flowers or lucky charms on the edge of the hat but since there was such a concern about the package running late I'll let the future owner add what she likes. I did get a chance to embroider the words "lucky Hat" on the inside.

I love Cloche Hats.

Green Swap
Topic: MY SWAPPERY








These are the items I made for My Colorized Swap Partner on Flickr. I don't think I will join that swap group ever again. I was running a little late sending the items to Portugal because I had to take care of paperwork for my taxes and one of the Admins sent me an email with a nasty undertone.
I see swapping as a way to spread kindness and happiness. This Swap was an UNHAPPY SWAP for me.
If I'm nice enough to say I'm running late, that should be better than not sending anything at all.

My Gifts From MARGARITA!!
Topic: MY SWAPPERY









I came home from work today to find this wonderful package Margarita sent me. The sweet felt bird garland has the word "love" embroidered on them in Spanish and English. The stamp is a little green Kokeshi Mushroom Girl Stamp, and she enclosed a card from her hometown in CA. along with a card of adorable Vintage cut out Valentine's.

Thank You sooooooo MUCH!

This was a special surprise. :0)

Fabric Panel Dolls
Topic: FUN STUFF








I have started collecting fabric panel dolls.
This one is my favorite because she is printed on natural colored Osnaburg material that is a little bit textured and has a beefier feel than the thin regular cotton panel pillow dolls you normally see.
When I get a chance to scan her I will share her on Flickr. I love that some flour companies used to print dolls on the actual flour bag as a promotion.
Too Cute! I wish they still did it.

A SONG FOR YOU !
Topic: FUN STUFF







Click on the image to download the original 1944 song. Or view the sheet music


THE SONG:
I'm Chiquita Banana, and I've come to say
Bananas have to ripen in a certain way.
And when they are flecked with brown
and have a golden hue,
Bananas taste the best, and are the best for you.
You can put them in a salad. You can put
them in a pie - aye.
Anyway you want to eat them it's
impossible to beat them.
But bananas like the climate of the very,
very tropical equator.
So you should never put bananas in the refrigerator.

Ms.Banana has been replaced since the 40's.
There seems to have been a big rage of Anthro (human faced) kitchen items, ANTHROPOMORPHIC, ANTHROMORPHIC items. A japanese ceramic company named NAPCO made salt and pepper shakers to go with the trend. I'm glad to see that we still have Mr. Peanut around. *
