I love dirty gourds, clean gourds, green gourds....all gourds!! I even love the way they smell! Yes they do have a smell and I love it!<br />
I guess that is why I have been called "Gourdqueen" for over 20 years.<br />

This is a pic of some of my dirty gourds out back in the "gourd shack". How many do I have? I have no clue! I have them everywhere!<br />
Where did I get them you ask? Everywhere!!! I live down in south Mississippi and have driven as far as Kansas to bring home a trailer full of gourds.<br />
I met these folks in Kansas on ebay! Yep I bought their gourds on ebay for years and finally decided to drive up there and buy a BUNCH!<br />
We became great friends and I even named her the "GourdFairy". Her gourds are the most beautiful I have ever seen and I have seen a lot of gourds.<br />
<br />
Sooooooo if you are ever interested in buying any gourds ya gotta check out <a href="http://shop.ebay.com/kgourd/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=50">"Kgourd"</a> on ebay.<br />
She has some auctions up now for the most perfect coyote gourds I have ever seen and they are cleaned. Coyote gourds are the hardest gourds there are to clean.<br />
If you win any gourds from <a href="http://shop.ebay.com/kgourd/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=50">kgourd</a> be sure to drop me a a line and tell me what you think!<br />

Especially gourd guts!<br />
You can see in these pics that there was not a gourd pod for the seeds in the second gourd.<br />
They were contained in a papery membrane and some loose in the gourd. Compare pics from earlier posts of the first gourd.<br />
I much prefer the pod and so does my nose!!!<br />

Very pleased with how this one turned out, <br />
that's a good thing!!<br />

They show their new wares on the first of each month.<br />
I am very excited about selling there, so I hope you all will drop by and check it out!<br />
I made a gourd stocking for my first listing that includes a surprise gift for the buyer.<br />
Please ignore by bad pics, I can't seem to find my battery charger to my camera so I had to use my everyday camera which doesn't do so well with close ups.<br />

With the cool nights and not so hot days we have been having reminded me that Fall had arrived. So I decided to do Fall pumpkins. I love pumpkins and I love making my gourds into pumpkins. Sounds kind of silly, seeing how gourds and pumpkins are in the same family! Geez, let's not let me get started on that!!!<br />
I have three Whimsical Pumpkin Gourdie-Do's that will be perfect for decorating from now till Thanksgiving.<br />
They will be available tomorrow on the <a href="http://www.pfattmarketplace.com/gourdqueenoriginals.html">Pfatt Marketplace</a>.<br />
If you can't wait till then, send me an email and I will be happy to answer any questions, heck I would even sell you one....or two...or three!!<br />

That thing that only happens to other people had happened to me. I can't even describe the feeling that ran though my body when my Dr. told me. I was sitting in the examining room looking at him while he started to explain things to me. All I heard was that sound that adults make in a Charlie Brown cartoon and I felt the tears roll down my cheek. I don't even remember how long I sat in my car before leaving.<br /><br />The Dr. had already remove the lump but had to go in again to scrape around where the lump was and also remove lymph nodes from under my right arm to test for cancer. It all came back fine! By the middle of December I was having my first chemo treatment. That was the longest three hours of my life!<br /><br />Then on Christmas day my parents took my husband and I to New Orleans and Bay St. Louis. It snowed in New Orleans on THAT Christmas Day!! Amazing.....or was it a sign? I didn't care I was with my family! I knew my hair would fall out while I was in New Orleans so I had a friend cut my hair really short and thinned it out so when it fell out it wouldn't be so hard to deal with.<br />I didn't think it would bother me but OMG, I broke down. I'm not sure if it was the hair or the fact that I really hadn't cried yet.<br /><br />The treatments were long and tiring and I hit many bumps along the way, with a week long hospital stay and a couple of ER visits. But finally after chemo and radiation, in September of 2005 I was told I was cancer free!!!<br /><br />The removal of lymph nodes from my right arm has left me with a bad case of Lympheda. I have swelling and pain in my arm and hand. I get so mad, as I am no longer able to do so many things that I use to do. And yes I get over being mad and think how grateful I am just to be here!<br /><br />The pic below is the only picture taking of me during my treatments. With me are the two wonderful men who saved my life. My surgeon and my oncologist, God bless you both!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6C8ZIA6PnCgLVc8o7PWOT38yqthDDXF9seKxftWUE4kxqJ9G1vkyFsMULV-jZyYNA6DDkTcYddKtiHAZKaEbKi1xFl0NAAcxxNzU11gzCqS-6Z1ZFkdXmBbD0HkMen70AL3F3RQXQeUU/s1600/DCP_0759.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 328px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6C8ZIA6PnCgLVc8o7PWOT38yqthDDXF9seKxftWUE4kxqJ9G1vkyFsMULV-jZyYNA6DDkTcYddKtiHAZKaEbKi1xFl0NAAcxxNzU11gzCqS-6Z1ZFkdXmBbD0HkMen70AL3F3RQXQeUU/s400/DCP_0759.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512029642884270226" border="0" /></a><br /><br />So I finally hit the big FIVE year anniversary that all breast cancer survivors strive for!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/42/BBF9F5BA5018D4E26DB8F5345548DA47.png" style="border: 0pt none ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" /></a>Gourdqueenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17310858680237294018noreply@blogger.com22tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998910011256516255.post-16152058748348675482010-09-01T09:33:00.003-05:002010-09-01T09:59:47.870-05:00BOOtique and EbayI can't believe Halloween is so close!!
