Can I suggest adding context?

Angel guidance board

I was given this for free at a local religion based op shop because, reasons. I was happy and grateful to receive it. I did a 'reading' and 'techical skills to help people' was revealed. Using Oracle cards (or an app, or a board set) is a great way to get you to think differently about things.

As I have somehow surpassed 7k followers on here I thought it might be nice to do a giveaway: All 7 of my books to one lovely winner. Just share and like to be in with a chance! 😁📚

Santa called. He said your presents should come from a small Aussie business this year. Something about elves needing a break and supporting local legends instead. 🎅✨ #ShopLocal #HandmadeHolidays

Still looking for more people to be able to start this pack, please, if you know of people who make to sell and are in #Australia, send them to this post.

the nice thing about being self-employed is that you dont have a schedule!

the bad thing about being self-employed is that you dont have a schedule...

They're in Australia. Don't think we have byitts here. But thanks for the response, it did make me smile.

Sometimes I look at the art on my walls and think about how the idea of art may be older than the idea of walls.

You're cool. My account is not political either. We need non political content too. And on here it doesn't get spammed. Or if it does it is easier to control.

Mugs with pug faces in thrift store

I left these behind, but do you ever wonder about the story behind what you find in the op shop?
There were 3 more behind these ones. Obviously someone's collection. I'd like to think someone was decluttering, but I think it's more likely someone died and their collection of pug mugs got donated 😕

The less I consume, the better I feel.

Chasing the Joneses is a costly race I’ve no interest in running.

Simplicity wins every time.

Word of the day is ‘librocubicularist’: one who loves nothing better than reading in bed.

(Not easy to say, but I’m glad to know it exists).

'Horistes Burl Scoop' ~ Wooden scoop carved in Horistes Burl wood (with live edge) from Australia.

Suppose it might also make for a good back scratcher.

Facts

Important tip to anyone who wants followers.

Write a bio.

I follow people and then check their followers and following lists to see if I should be following any of them. If they don't have a bio I don't follow. I'm sure other people do the same thing. It really is that simple.

What is your eBay store name? (If you don't mind sharing)

It's slightly off centre and an odd number of objects (in this case baubles) is more aesthetically pleasing. But that's being picky because you asked. It's still a lovely piece.

For those who ask. Here is a before block, a finished Grinch and the knife i use.

Just sitting outside, listening to nature and making a lot of woodchips on the ground.

Especially from authors who are still alive.

Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop changing lives. #literacy #kidlit #books

The perfect way to close a business deal.
