It would have been a nice keep sake.You can still buy them on line and in some little deli stores. I almost bought one I could actually use. Maybe I still will.<br />Tossing pebbles in the sand: I know. A display such as this is soo nice.<br />I have lots to display but it requires things like you have to hang things on.<br />They will be my future projects to do as I sift through my boxes.<br />Butterfly and Gattina, thanks for your nice comments. The world is indeed a place of discovery and you never know what you come up with next. lol<br />:)A Lady's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973102350411443282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772222818904672266.post-20475701197773443432009-04-20T01:59:00.000-07:002009-04-20T01:59:00.000-07:00Hi Lady!

I even considered of buying one. There were many beautiful and exquisite models. Elaborate ones and at affordable prices. But at that time was worrying more about carrying laptops and files with me. And I did not want to be troubled to travel with additional things. So, I did not bring home. That was stupid and I regret it.Voegtlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17212645092237784919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772222818904672266.post-4244758007696783872009-04-19T12:53:00.000-07:002009-04-19T12:53:00.000-07:00Hi Elyse.
I responded to your above comment on you...Hi Elyse.<br />I responded to your above comment on your blog so you get a chance to read it.I totally understand the issues here, I am just wondering how a person plans to do everything on his /her own.Women may feel they are undervalued but I seem to have heard something about men having the same feelings too lol There is no justice in life.<br />To my knowledge and from experience in life, you can't do it all. Family is important and the women who are writing in seem to be expecting miracles, that unfortunately will not happen for them. Balance is important to have in life.You can't balance, if there is no one at the other end to balance you. Everything just ends up sliding to one end.The issues you are talking about are the same issues, just different people talking about them, which means after everything we have said and done in the past,to get women rights they never had before, women have not learned a thing.Its not as simple as it all looks.Wish it were.:)A Lady's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973102350411443282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772222818904672266.post-20362774316635909142009-04-19T11:16:00.000-07:002009-04-19T11:16:00.000-07:00I just wanted to reply to your comment on the post...I just wanted to reply to your comment on the post I made about Dorothy Smith...women's studies is not about being a hardcore feminist and swearing off men. It's about understanding that women have had experiences that have not been represented throughout the course of history, because prominent historians/politicians/sociologists, etc. were men. This realization also helps us to see that there are other groups whose voices have not always been heard. Basically, Dorothy Smith has opened up a discourse to re-examine how various groups are represented within history and other disciplines...<br /><br />It has nothing to do with women's liberation--i.e. women going to work instead of staying home and starting a family. It's more of a study of ALL women's experiences, not just the very small percentage of women that manage to make a huge impact on a field of study or a part of society...<br /><br />In fact, I'm pretty sure that Dorothy Smith had a family and everything. It's just that what we typically consider to be women's roles (staying home) are greatly devalued in our society, though it has been proven that they are some of the most valuable, with the most time poured into them. And, for women who enter the workforce, they are still making about 74% LESS than their male counterparts. In general, women's contributions are somewhat undervalued (or greatly undervalued!) so that's what women's studies are about now--the views held by society about women, and how to make women's roles/contributions/experiences valued more equally.Elysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03999373004561233795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772222818904672266.post-66691795667058283502009-04-19T09:05:00.000-07:002009-04-19T09:05:00.000-07:00Itis a lovely piece.

I have no idea what I'm waiting on????<br /><br />Thanks for a really nice post and being such a breath of fresh air!<br /><br />Love for a Happy Sunday and a great cup of tea. We have a place in Largo, Maryland called Infusion Tea Cafe. I remember my first visit thinking, there are just too many choices. Now you've made me want to go back and take a closer look and try something new.<br /><br />Thanks!<br />ChinaA Free Spirit Butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15875209868146874354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772222818904672266.post-363842060013852232009-04-19T06:27:00.000-07:002009-04-19T06:27:00.000-07:00What a very beautiful piece !
