This photo was taken from the jetty on the other side of the inlet in Corona Del Mar. Didn’t catch any fish but the sunset was spectacular.

Our Little Yorkie, Winston
I am so grateful to SOSDogs.org for rescuing this little Yorkie. He lived behind a convenience store after being beaten and abandoned in the middle of winter last year. Severely matted and frightened, he survived on food left for him by people who cared but would not let anyone near him. After 2 months on his own, a woman and her two daughters, bless their hearts, spent 2 days in the freezing weather trying to coax him near enough to be able to catch him. SOSDogs (save our small dogs) paid for much needed medical attention and then he spent 6 months with a foster mom who taught him how to trust people and what life in a loving home looks like.
When I saw his little face on Pet Finders and read his story, I knew I wanted to adopt him. The process to qualify for a rescue such as this is rather extensive but we made it and Winston is now happily adjusting to life with our family.
Don’t you just love a happy ending?

M.I.A.D.
Musical Instrument Acquisition Disorder
My husband has been managing his M.I.A.D very well, I have to admit. As soon as he gets the fever and finds another guitar or ukulele or banjo he wants to buy, it’s time to sell one. We have been selling (and buying) vintage musical instruments on ebay since 1998 with 100% positive feedback. Over the past 3 years, we have sold quite a few on Artfire as well. Check my studio for other vintage musical instruments available for sale as this one has been SOLD.
Back In The Day
In the early 70′s, my mother and I owned and operated a seasonal boating and beachwear shop in Brielle, NJ called The Deck House. For several years, I created and sold maxi dresses made from cotton bedspreads printed in India, hippy shoulder bags made from recycled denim bell bottoms and macramed necklaces. The experience of owning and managing a business, while it lasted, or that feeling of creating something that someone wants to buy are 2 things I never forgot.
Throughout the years, I have worked for many business owners and characters with character as receptionist, personal secretary, administrative assistant, executive assistant, bookkeeper, marketing assistant, sales rep, account executive, assistant manager, project manager, office manager, and website administrator. Many hats, some fit better than others.
Confucius said it and I believe it ~ “Choose a job you love and you will never work a day in your life.”
In 2004, I chose a job I love, set up a home office, built a website, at thesunnyside.biz, and formed an LLC with the same name, The Sunny Side Dot Biz, LLC. Creative website solutions for the Entrepreneur.
I was in my office one day with lots of time on my hands and started to go through and organize boxes and boxes of fabric and unfinished sewing projects. Before I knew it, I had a new dress form and sewing machine and was designing and creating one of a kind clothing and accessories that I’ve sold online on Ebay, Etsy and Artfire.
I’ve been married for 34 years to the love of my life. We have two grown sons and 2 dogs – a Mini Schnauzer and a Yorky. There’s no place like home and sewing is what I truly love to do when I’m not taking care of my family, my clients or my garden.
