Homestead Mercantile: Going Green with GUMBY

Please come on in, sit down and take a look at a slice of my life...

My interest in blogging comes from a hole left in my life...that being a lack of information that was left behind from my ancestors. You see, I figure maybe someday my descendants may want to know about my life in the 21st century, as I want to know about my ancestors. So I was inspired to begin this blog. Now over the years I have done some journaling...albeit pretty random. So, since I spend a fair amount of time on this laptop I might as well document my life while I am at it. Oh do I wish my grandmother's and grandfather's had taken the time to write about their lives. What a treasure that would be! So I dedicate this blog to my ancestors and my descendents. Enjoy!

Going Green with GUMBY

Isn't he oh so cute? I loved watching Gumby and Pokey on television when I growing up in the 1950' and 1960's.
I found this guy in a large banana box of semi-collectible toys I have been saving for my grandchildren.
So out came Gumby to be in his new home...my studio. Since the studio is a place for the odd and quirky, as well as
crafting supplies he will fit in nicely.
So welcome, Gumby. The other good thing about Gumby is that he is GREEN...so he is in style since everyone is going GREEN. Now, I need to find a Pokey to hang out with him, something to watch for this summer when yard saling.
