A visitor.

Late today. Yes, it's that other October day, another year older, and this time, it seems to be related to the first of those days this month. It's a visitor, a painted lady, long after the butterflies, what few we had this year, have disappeared. It flew past my face as I was lining up a shot of the maple and landed overhead in the leaves, where it stayed. I'm choosing to think it's my late sister coming to wish me a good day, since she was Butterfly Woman [and since the anniversary of her murder was eight short days ago, so it seems likely that she might want to return for a visit now].

It's a gift.

Not that the day itself has been any different, but then, it never is; I've been on the run since I got up this morning, and that will probably be the case until midnight or later. Because it's that time of year.

And whatever else, I have got to bring in more sales.

The last two years have all but killed us financially, and I need to get us caught up to make it through the next several months. There's a lot of gorgeous new work up [and there will be a new silverwork necklace and two new pairs of earrings this week], but I've got to sell it for it to make any difference. I posted four new ones the other night, around midnight: those two pairs of earrings, both Goth-y and perfect for Spooky Season, here [this pair now sold!] and here; and two new necklaces, very different but also seasonally apt, here and here. And there's a lot more to come, once these two sets of commissions are done and with their people. But in the meantime, we [which means I] have got to change this trajectory, and fast. To that end, links are here:

And we do still need to make those regular weekly sales, so please share all of the links. We really do need this to be a better month than what we've had so far this year.
