Moving and Ecig Lanyards

Ecig Lanyards
These were a custom order for a customer who recently quit smoking after 50 years. Kudos to her! She transitioned to the currently popular e-cigarettes. I had no clue people used lanyards for ecigs!

She request a swivel clasp on the end which attaches to the ecig ring. The rings are a piece that is available so I'm now considering adding these lanyards to my inventory. I love the idea of making a woman feel stylish while she is working on becoming a healthier person!

My House
Everything happened so fast! I just moved to Jim's house over the weekend. I didn't realize how much stuff was coming with me! So it will take some time to get organized. My new office is slowly coming together.

I will miss this cute little place where I lived here for about 5.5 years and loved it! 
It looks so tiny but it actually has generous rooms inside. I took photos back in September because I had a feeling I would be putting it on the market when everything was dead outside. Luckily my realtor was able to use them!
The kitchen has these great slate blue tiles that I love!
One of the 1962 house's best  features is this opening between the kitchen and living room. The rooms are separate, yet together!
Lot's of light and gleaming wood floors!!!
My orange bathroom got many compliments. It's so happy!
My sanctuary!
A sweet spare bedroom. 

My favorite room was my office where most waking moments were spent. 

I wanted to post this memory so it can be viewed many years from now. :) I'm done proving strength and independence to myself.

Oh, how I will miss this house! 

As always, thank you so stopping by. Have a fantastic week! ~Val

  2. Hello,Val:-)
    Beautiful and elegant lanyards. I'd wear them with pleasure,of course,if I used the e-cigarettes....I still smoke the usual ones,and have been thinking of giving it up.
    Your house is in the real 'Scandinavian style' : either for the external,or internal looks.
    I love it for space and the 'minimalism' of the setting.Nice colors and beautifully furnished.
    I think-easy to clean,easy to use,cosy to live in.
    -All the best to You-

  3. In my case it would be a nightmare moving to another place. The more space you have the more stuff you get. But you did it. Great! Wish you all the best in your new home!

  4. the laynards look great, and your house was cute, but it's off to a new adventure for you. :0) I love the orange bathroom! I suggested that we paint our outside trim orange, and hubby thinks I fell off my rocker, lol

  9. What a sweet house this is, Val, and I can surely understand why you'd miss it.

  10. Very nice house, very cozy, but you are now moving on to new and exciting adventures! I know how you feel about leaving it. Before I remarried I had the cutest apartment. I did all the decorating myself and was a comfy home. My kids lived with me for a couple years but most of the time, I lived alone. Five years later I still kind of miss that time, and I find myself looking back at my pictures too. You'll probably do the same. But after all that is said, look at the both of us now, we are running our own businesses and living our dreams! Best of luck to you in your new home. Be sure to share some pics, especially after you "girl up his place." That's why my husband said I did to him.
