It's all in The Name and my celebration giveaway

I am participating in a challenge post with 
what a Wonderful idea Karen 
if there is one thing I love to do is to get to know the Bloggers I follow
I love visiting blogs, sometimes you feel like you are walking into someone else's home
sitting down and having a chat, So much Inspiration, So many wonderful things to share
Blogging has certainly become one of my favorite past times

So my Answers to Karen's Questions
I started my Blog August 17th of 2009

At first I was lost and not sure just what to do, until I visited other blogs and begin to learn
so much more then I thought I could ever do. I Still seem to learn something new almost every day
And I am sure I could improve on my writing skills but hey
I am just being myself, sometimes I manage to bore myself so I thank you for sticking 
with me through the boring posts LOL

The Name of my Blog.........well I kicked that idea around for awhile
I had not been on line for so long, and I had been really missing
my Store I had in Texas, our move back from Texas and closing my store was
Not something I wanted to do, so I opted to keep my store name and to 
use it, since I finally had the chance to get back online again
Being that I wanted to get back into selling online and was not sure 
where to sell at or just what I was going to do, I thought I would just 
make my start using the name I would be known by

The Rusty Thimble
A Name my hubby gave me, since I was always looking for or asking 
him to bring home anything Rusty he would find
I mean some gals like shiny stuff me I prefer RUST!!!

So be sure to jump on over to Karen's post
and join in on the fun

And Yes today is the Anniversary day of my Etsy Shop
so in celebrating I am having a giveaway this month

  8. Brenda,

    You are never boring! It was so much fun to know the story behind the name. I have enjoyed talking with you and reading your posts! I like that people write from their heart. That is how you hear their "voice". I agree with you- it is like sitting down in someone's home for a chat. I am usually drinking coffee, so yes, very much like that! You are such a generous person. You celebrate your milestones by giving to others. I love your work! Right now, I am looking at my black sheepy, thinking of a dear friend! I would love to be entered in your giveaway. I am happy to share this information with others! Have a wonderful day!

    Blessings,
    Heather

  9. Hi Brenda

    Thank you for sharing this story! And your writing style? I love it. It's what makes you YOU. When I read your blog, I get the feeling you're talking to me in person, or that you're sitting next to me on the couch, allthough we're literally an ocean apart! ;-)

    Goedele
