Amy does the deed

"Honey, it was G$C ALL OVER THE PLACE!!!
Really, I am a true G&C girl--
I am a "market boutique," cannas and silk,
a little dirt, a little glitter!!"

That is my sweet Honey Pie!!
May God, Ruth, and gentle Magdalen
bless all her endeavors.

Trinket packaging

Surely not.
Possible packaging for
that glittering jewel of G&C.
A surprise treat,
just watch what lands
behind those horses' feet!

Recessionary Greetings

A NEW line of Recessionary Greeting Cards is
****COMING SOON****
to a G&C store near you!

"Congratulations on your unemployment!"

"The new drug: Recessionary Rebound"

"Unemployment 4 ALL"

Done the G&C way
of course,
a horse is a horse,
of course.

Bring it on

Deliciously roasted frankfurters can be had at picnics by using a corn popper. They will roast more evenly.

Bring on picnic season.

To remove fly paper from clothes, saturate with either alcohol, kersosene, or turpentine.

Bring on springtime.

Ah, so ya know?

Who would have thought,
life on the edge
of cookies 'n turnovers,
could lead to
raisin bedazzled crowns,
poppyseed earrings,
and butter crusted lashes
delight!

Dreams of delight

Walnut fudge and vanilla ice cream
with cinnamon on top,
what more could a G-gurl ask for?

Except, perhaps, a glittery
diamond that stands up
to any kinda crap.

GSaritaC in a Land Far Away

So, many of you probably already know that GSaritaC traveled halfway around the world to the beautiful and mysterious country of Burma about a week ago. She will be gone for about another week, returning the first weekend in September. She went to work with and observe women in the villages there, learning about local cottage industry and artisanship firsthand. Looking forward to hearing all about the art of G&C, Burmastyle! I miss you, my friend!

Dear G$C...

To take lipstick stains from white linen, try either, alcohol or gasoline.

If you wish to impart an original flavour, to mayonnaise add a little horseradish, of course.


Turnip tops, mustard and beet greens, as well as young new dandelions, may be mixed with salads.

When the back of a man's collar gets that greasy, soiled look, dissolve a little salt in alcohol and rub the collar with this solution on a clean cloth. It will remove that discoloration entirely. Really.

just like i promised.....

Okay, so here they are:

ORIGINAL G&C ACTUAL PRETEND MAGAZINE ARTICLE TITLES:



"how to make those hardwood floor crap-brown again"

"no, surely you didn't exfoliate your mustache off with only glitter!"

"who added that dapple to your updo?"

"birthday cakes, yes, birthday cakes: glitter and crap!!!"

"plop and glop, stain removal the g&c way"

the new fashion:
"eyes the color of horse crap, teeth that sparkle like glitter."
everyone wants it
everyone is fighting for it
will u b the lucky
princess?

Dear G$C...

Wash basins often become clogged. If there is no plunger in the house, cut an old tennis ball into halves. Place one half over the drain, and use in the same manner as an ordinary plunger, pressing firmly with fingers several times.

Burned hands can be soothed by holding in flour.

To make fine glassware sparkle, dip the clean, dry pieces in alcohol, and let dry upright, for gleaming perfection, glittering beauty.

Pear Honey Queen

To my dear The Pear Honey Canning Princess,

I am having fun listening to raindrops! The little herds of rain are moving on by, but here and there they stop by long enough for me to hear them dancing on the rooftop! Such a pretty day! A friendly rain. Yes, let's make the pear honey together! We can get pears from the farmer's market... as the pears come on the trees toward fall. Your grandma and great-grandma will be watching over our shoulders!

Love, The Pear Honey Canning Queen

Rare Together

Wednesday afternoon at GAmyC's, chocolate chip cookies baking, coffee with cream, babies sleeping with glitter on their rosy cheeks, and crap everywhere. GSarahC and GAmyC enjoying it all together. A Perfect Day. Glitter in Paradise. And then, a trip down memory lane, to October last, when G$C was born.....
