Fall is in the Air, Can Snow be far Behind?
The leaves are turning, that means that snow is not far behind. The last hummingbird was seen on September 13, 2005. It is sad to see them go, but I am looking forward to the snow season. All in all, we had a nice summer, not as warm as I am use to, coming from Montana! But here we have seasons, well, at least two seasons............shovel and swat!
I had a real good run at the L'Anse Farmer's Market and Craft Fair. I averaged about $100 a day, that is good for this small town! I sold all my Sour Dough Starter, so am in the process of getting more ready to sell online on my website.
My Prayers go out to all that are affected by these storms. It has affected all of us, whether we live near the gulf states or as far north as I live, we are Praying for all!
I have been running Charity Auctions on Overstock, donating the money to UMCOR. The key word is Katrina, but I am going to change the wording of the auctions to include all the hurricane victims, and the gulf states. If you want to learn what and who UMCOR is, just do a search in your favorite search engine.
This is from the UMCOR site:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UMCOR Begins Long-Term Recovery Efforts
United Methodist Committee on Relief aid workers and executives are on site in a three-state area of the hurricane-stricken Gulf Coast region as well consulting with other areas participating in the relief efforts.The goal of UMCOR's initial actions is to empower survivors with comfort, tools, and other assistance as they plan their own recovery.
For more than 50 years, the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) has helped to heal the hurts of humanity in nearly 100 countries - providing relief in disaster areas, aiding refugees and confronting the challenge of world hunger and poverty. UMCOR is a not-for-profit humanitarian agency of The United Methodist Church.
Your tax-deductible donation check for a specific disaster, which usually is assigned an Advance number, (Advance #982523) may be sent to UMCOR through a local United Methodist church, or by mailing the check directly to:
UMCOR
Room #330
475 Riverside Drive
New York, NY 10115.
Of such donations, 100 percent to the designated emergency response UMCOR also takes credit card donations. Call 1-800-554-8583.
Some individuals or church groups elect to donate goods to be shipped to disaster areas, where UMCOR operates disaster warehouses. Used clothing usually is not wanted or needed. You may call UMCOR Sager Brown at 1-800-554-814-8765 to obtain a list of needed items.
You may volunteer time to help disaster victims cleanup and rebuild. Whatever your skills and experiences, there is a disaster recovery task for you. To volunteer, call: 1-800-554-918-3100.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I thought this was important to post here, as there are so many "charities" collecting for the gulf states, a lot of times we don't know how much of the monies is actually being received by the ones that need it. I like UMCOR because 100% is for the relief of these disasters.
I donate to our local United Methodist Church, you do not need to be a Methodist to help out. They are also collecting "Flood Kits" and other kits that will be needed in disasters such as the hurricanes, just check the website to see what is needed. I don't believe this is a denomination/religious thing, but a way to help those in need. I hope others will join the effort to help these storm victims. UMCOR collects year around and they are usually first on the site of disasters, offering relief.
I am surprised there are not more charity auctions for the Golf States Hurricane victims on overstock, in fact, I am surprised at how few charity auctions that have bids.
We have almost all our winter wood in, just about a half-tier to go. You can really feel fall in the air. We have had a fire a couple time in the past week, mostly because it was raining and the fire seems to dry things out, and we like the atmosphere! Once we have a fire all the time, I will finally be warm again! Seems like the only time I am warm is when the fire is going.
The biggest reason that I am happy that fall is here.................. REDWINGS HOCKEY!!! Yes Hockey is back! I watched the Detroit Tigers all season, but they are winding down, and hockey is getting ready to start up again. I missed them last year and I am glad they are back, finally!
I have been busy trying to get my stock built up for the Tater Baker Bags, they are always a good seller during the Christmas season. I have one craft bazaar this fall, it is November 12th, so I have a little time to get things stocked back up. All the things that I sold at the Farmer's Market and didn't have time to make more. Barefoot Sandals always do good for stocking stuffers and gifts. I am looking forward to a great season on Overstock auctions!
Okay, this is enough for this time, please check out my auctions on Overstock.com and all the other TOASA member's auctions.

Guess Summer is over!
I have been so busy learning how to set up my Blog, I forgot to write in it! Well, what can I say?
Summer is over, we had a couple warm days in the early part of August and the last of July, then it cooled down and we ever had a frost warning earlier this week. I brought all my plants in, to protect them from the frost.... I even managed to bring in a tree frog, I found him in my computer room early the next morning, sure scared the "waddin's" out of me. I didn't have my glasses on and seen a lump on the carpet.......then it moved! Yikes, first thought...... a mouse! I am deathly afraid of mice, dead or alive! Randy came running and caught it and put it outside. I have not found any other hitchhikers yet.
The temperature is 55 degrees this morning, you can feel the coolness in the air. Randy brought in the first fall leaf and the hummingbirds are getting ready to fly south. I look forward to winters, that is when I can finally get warmed up. We heat by wood heat and the house is always toasty! The summers are so cool and short, nothing like the summers in Montana. I miss the heat!
August 13th was our 3rd wedding anniversary, we celebrated by going out to eat. We had a great fish supper at the Baraga Lakeside Inn. On Sunday we went to Church, then decided to blow off the day and drive to Copper Harbor to have my very favorite sandwich, "The Mariner" at the Mariner North. I use to get a sandwich in Montana, called the Montana Slammer, well, Mariner's North has one very much like that, it is very good. We treated ourselves to a two day celebration, because we both have been working very hard this summer and with my illness, being down in June, we didn't do much this summer.
I have been selling at the L'Anse Farmer's Market/Craft Fair since the first Saturday in August. It is held every Saturday, rain or shine. So far, we have lucked out, no rain and beautiful blue sky with a gorgeous view of the Lake. Sales have been good, I look forward to getting out of the woods every week. I have not done any craft shows, since moving here in 1998, to speak of. There is one little craft show in Aura every year, except last year. Not sure if they will have it or not this year, as the turnout was very dismal. I am happy with my sales over the past 3 weekends. I hope the weather holds out. I don't mind cloudy, but the rain and wind is something else. I don't want all my crafts to get wet or blow away. My Tater Baker Bags are selling good. I packaged up some sourdough starter and sold almost all that I had. Now I am drying some more for this weekend. My cool ties did sell, but mostly to tourists who are headed for warmer places.
The website is creating more sales all the time, I am happy with that. I still have an Ebay presence, but I am concentrating on Overstock. I had a sale yesterday! I try to keep about 70 auctions running at a time. I am converting all the auctions over to "TOASA Free Shipping with MIM" My auctions look like I have a lot of the same thing, but I have over 50 prints for the Tater Baker Bags and over 75 bead color which can be combined to make countless combinations. Thank goodness for the wedding parties, they have sustained my barefoot sandal business all summer, now there are a lot of fall weddings coming up, easing me into the Christmas season. The Barefoot Sandals are a good seller year round. I am looking forward to a great holiday selling season.
Okay, what should I name this book?????
Until next time............

Summer has finally hit the U.P. It is about 94 degrees today. There is a little wind, but gorgeous blue sky. We will probably go to Lake Superior, Saari Road tonight, to let the dogs swim and Randy too! The last time we were down there, the flies were so bad, we all got bits, Maggie getting the worst ones. Her face swelled up and she looked miserable for several days. Then she was full of scabs for a week or so. Don't know if she will want to go again or not. Can dogs remember??
I had a space at the Farmer's Market on L'Anse Waterfront (Park) last Saturday, sold for 3 hours, until noon. I did real well. Sold Tater Baker Bags and Barefoot Sandals. Sold a few yo-yo balloons and some cool ties. I was happy with the results, plan on going again next Saturday and throughout August and September as weather permitting.
Well, off to find a cool spot, more later!

Oh my gosh........ I can't believe I have let this Blog slide for so long. I am trying to schedule myself and my time so that I can take care of my auction, website and everything else in between! I am trying to learn about RSS feeds now. Always something. I gave up on optimizing my website content, gave me headaches and after new glasses, a new monitor, $$$$$$$ spent on doctors, I finally decided it was the stress of trying to learn about SEO. I left it and now I am listed pretty high on the search engines. Just search for "barefoot sandals" and see where I am. My business is picking up, I have added colorful, glittery, glow in the dark nail polish to be sold with my barefoot sandals on the auctions sites.
I am selling on Overstock, Ebay, and I have some things on Bidchaser and The Auction Man (TAM) I have sold some things on Bidchaser, but nothing on TAM. Overstock is real good right now. Click on the Rocket Logo to check out my auctions, via RSS (keeping fingers crossed that it works)
Oh okay, I guess that just links you to the rocket site and if you have an account you can see my stuff. See, I told you that I was just learning.
Be back later........
