Updates, Requests & Thank Yous

Posted on 05:16 by kumar
HAPPY SPRING!

Since I'm housecleaning at home today I thought I'd do some housecleaning on grunge-queen and give you some updates.

DESIGNERS:
Alas Michael Kors will NOT be at the party this week (hey he went to Holts! And to my credit the invite did make it sound like he was going to be there - guess they meant MK the brand....). But I'm still going in my new (used) dress and will do my best to get pics!

COMMENTS:
It makes my day when followers and people visiting the site leave comments - I will always leave a comment in response and if you have a blog I'll do my best to leave a comment on one of your postings I like ... think that's good blog etiquette and many bloggers do it.

One request I have, though, is if you have a message of a personal nature that really goes beyond the topic of the blog or posting, that you email me personally at grungequeen@yahoo.com. I moderate comments and have posted a few comments of this nature but to keep the blog focused won't be doing so moving forward. Don't get me wrong: I love making a connection with every one who visits! Oh and comments that purport to be comments but that end up linking to sales sites will not be posted; they normally go right in to my junk folder any way. Thank you for reading; you make my day!

THE PINK CHANDELIER:
Ok, aside from my dear friend Rob most of you nixed the pink chandelier. It is still sitting in the shop and will stay there for now. Grunge-queen has had to tighten her purse strings so will not be buying $200 plastic lighting fixtures for now. Thanks to all the stylish, thrifty and otherwise well-meaning folk who weighed in on the matter, and no I am not mad at any of you for giving your honest opinion!

THE TELEPHONE MYSTERY:
Remember the pink thrift phone most of you trashed? (see "Electronics and Thrift" post). I exchanged it for those two beautiful lamps at VV, then went to La Source and bought a new phone.

Then all hell broke loose. After two weeks of functioning just fine the phone started flashing. The blue "message" button and the red "charge" button were out of control and I couldn't get them to stop! This went on for a week or so. Then I came home yesterday and the flashing had stopped.

Is there a little phone Leprechaun in here who's messing with me?

Stay tuned.

Post on Sally Ann auctions is coming, I promise!
