Simple and Serene Living: hi ho hi ho....

hi ho hi ho....

it's off........no, wait I am not heading off to a new job. I just have to get back to working today. I have a confession to make. I have been suffering from severe neuropathy pain. I had mentioned here that I have been having peripheral neuropathy, but I've kind of glossed over the pain. The doctors don't know what is causing it, but they started me on Neurontin last night. (I am really loopy). Hopefully it will work and the loopiness will wear off. As we all know, I am loopy enough without medication :)

As the old saying goes, I am pulling myself up by my bootstraps and getting back to working on my shop. With that in mind, I thought I would do some self promotion today and share some of my shop goodies. (There is also the fact that my poor brain is too fuzzy for meaningful chit chat)

There are things for your garden. Like this primitive old metal bucket.

$21

wonderful old pottery

$44

a collection of baskets

$20

old primitive enamelware

$24

antique maps, to frame, are being added daily.

$16

Things for your kitchen decor.

$24

fabulous antique photos

$62

upcycled American Ruralist collection

$9.50

There's lots more, but you get the idea. For those of you who asked, my first knee replacement surgery is scheduled for May 27th. Oh boy!! Are we having fun yet?

I am now going to make up my bed, pull up those boot straps, and get busy sewing.

Hope your pain ends soon. My hip is out and ibuprofen, tylenol & aspercreme rub aren't helping. So I feel for what you must be going thru! Lovely items!

I am so sorry you're still not feeling well--hope the medicine will give you some relief!

Hope you are better soon. Hope they find what the cause is very soon. Constant pain is no fun. Hope you have a good day!

I hope the meds help you - there is nothing more frustrating than unanswered health problems. Love all your new items! That is exactly what I need to be doing today...taking pictures and working on my shop. Thanks for the inspiration :)

Great items.

Good luck with the neuropathy. My mother suffers from that as well. It's certainly no fun.

Oh- I hope they can get your pain under control. It is awful to suffer on end with no relief in sight. Love all your items here-I'm sure they will soon have new homes. xo Diana
