Talk Much

Sit long...talk much

This saying has been with me for well over 30 years. My mother-in-law had a painted sign that said those very words and I always love it. I have painted that saying on chairs and have used it in other graphic designs. Today I used it in a piece of jewelry.

Etched and stamped metal along with a vintage watch gear mounted on an old charm, all strung on a great vintage brass chain.

I am still having issues with blogger, I suppose I thought it was temporary and it would all be back to normal within a day or so....wishful thinking on my part. I am an impatient person when it comes to technology, I want it fast and I want it now. Looking back at the telephone in the pendant, do you realize our kids don't even know what that is? I had purchased an antique phone a while back and had it home, my son Nick was amazed by it and asked how it worked? It dawned on me that the rotary dial is not even in their vocabulary! Talk about technology and speed!

Thinking of all you Carolina folks as you retreat from the up-coming storm. Be safe!



Talk Less Listen More

I just finished up two of these necklaces for a special order. Did you know there are websites just devoted to teach you how to talk less and listen more? I did not know until I googled (is that even a word?) it today. 

I think I need to be a better listener....and not run my mouth or jump into a conversation while someone else is talking. Listen more...and be more attentive to the other person. I will try to do better, pause more and give the other person more attention.

How about you are you a good listener? 

So for today, give it a try...Talk less, Listen more.
