Not a cooking topic

[hippywife]

but you are all my friends so I wanted to share that Bill and I have my website it closer to being ready!

Boatloads of thanks to Call Me Wesley for his invaluable assistance. Couldn't have done it without him. Really.

1. Great, hw!

:thumbsup:

:hug:

[hippywife]

2. Thanx, ellen!

CMW did so much to help me. I made the banner, but he made it so much better, and he coded in the background and helped me work through a font issue. He is wonderful!

:hi:

[grasswire]

3. love the font and design

it's gorgeous. Reminds me of the look of some old printed materials I have. Fashion magazines and so on from the last century.

You go girl!

[hippywife]

17. Thanx, E.

That was exactly the look I was going for, turn of the century Art Nouveau. :hug:

[auntAgonist]

4. B E A U T I F U L !!

It looks great so far. Love the colour and the font.


:loveya:

Love talking to you. Feel free to call whenever you want. :hug:

[housewolf]

5. Oh I can't wat!

It's gonna be gorgeous! I love the art deco design, it's one of my favorites.

Truly beautiful, HW!

[hippywife]

19. Hiya, sweets.

Thank you! It's actually Art Nouveau. Deco is close but a little more hard edges. :hug:

[Paper Roses]

6. Beautiful design, can't wait to see the results!

[hippywife]

20. Thanx, PR.

It may be a little while. I'm mostly without much energy at the end of a work day. LOL'

:hug:

[Callalily]

7. Ohhhhhh . . . very nice.

Please let us know when construction has been completed!

[hippywife]

21. Thank you, Callalily.

Wish I had you here to photograph my finished jewelry. You photograph food so one can almost taste it. :hug:

[Phentex]

8. It's gorgeous!...

Can't wait to see the pictures of your jewelry. Keep us posted!

[hippywife]

22. Thanx, Phen!

There will be some really nice surprises, I think. I found and bought a whole mess of real vintage findings and crystals. They are soooo beautiful. Like nothing I've posted here so far. :hug:

[Arkansas Granny]

9. That looks lovely. Be sure to let us know when you're up and running.

[hippywife]

23. Will do, Gran!

And thanx so much! :hug:

[Call Me Wesley]

10. Thank you!

:hug: Glad to help.

This is my first post in this group ever. ;)

[housewolf]

11. First post to C&B - well... gee... Welcome!

It's nice to see you here and you're very welcome here today - or anytime you feel like dropping by. We're a friendly, supportive and informative group here, quite collegial. If you have any interest in cooking, baking or eating, this is the place to be!

Great work on Hippywife's home page, it's so beautiful!

:applause:

[Call Me Wesley]

13. Thank you!

Haven't baked in ages, but like to cook. And sometimes take photos of it. ;)

Like of a simple Curry Chicken:



Or a sandwich:

[housewolf]

15. Great food photography!

The food in both pics is enticing, but the photo of the sandwich is remarkable! Thanks for the eye-candy.

[hippywife]

24. Ooh!

You are apparently very good at many things. That sammich looks scrumptious. I'm a sucker for salume! Yum!

I know I keep telling you how much I appreciate all your help, but I really can't express it enough. This would have been a much poorer effort without your expertise. Much. :D



That Heidi sure is one lucky gal! But then I know it happens to be mutual. ;) :hug:

[KC]

33. What a beautiful

picture of the sandwich ! The drink looks so refreshing, what is it ?

[Call Me Wesley]

39. Sorry, I almost missed your post.

It's a Campari Soda, which is quite a popular aperitif here. I just had a few bottles and thought it'll give the picture an extra color-kick. ;) Of course, I had to drink it afterwards. :)

41. Thank you

I've heard of Campari but have never tried it.

[yellerpup]

12. Good work on the website!

Love the Deco theme and the classiness of it all. Congratulations, can't wait until it goes live to see your new designs! :loveya:

[hippywife]

25. Thanx, love!

Good to talk to you yesterday, too. :hug:

It's Art Nouveau, tho. And I really need to make some new designs to put on this site. But I promise they will be a nice surprise! :hug:

How was the pasta last night? Ours was delicious, as I'm sure was yours. :loveya:

[yellerpup]

28. Of course it is Art Nouveau!

Of course! Mr. Pup had a set of three Mucha posters when I first moved in with him. Well, I made the same mistake in a pm I sent, so you'll know what a dunce I am! :rofl: Gerry loved the pasta last night. It tasted good to me, too, but I used more cheese than I should have and suffered for it. I thought I had given myself food poisoning. I used to be able to tolerate the hard cheeses. I'm disappointed to miss out on Parm forever after.

I am always surprised by your designs! Can't wait to see the next wave. :woohoo:

[hippywife]

31. I used to have one in my very first apartment

when I was 19. Tell Mr. Pup I like him more all the time. :D

Sorry about the parm, babe. I am so fortunate to have no REAL eating restrictions such as that, and I really feel for anyone who does. :hug:

[Stinky The Clown]

14. Is that what the final website look and feel will be?

[hippywife]

26. That is what it will be.

Why? You have some suggestions? :D

If all goes well, there will be some more Art Nouveau artwork on the front page, along with catagories to click into for thumbnails you can click to see a bigger pic of each offering.

Please ask Ms. Sparkly to answer her email. She did the first one and we talked, but I sent another asking her some questions. Haven't heard back from that busy lady.

:hug:

[japple]

16. What an honor to be a part of the birth of your new enterprise.

The homepage looks like it's off to a great start. Perfect colors and background for your vintage pieces. Thanks for including us!

[hippywife]

27. Hi, J!

You are all my friends here, so it's an honor for ME to include you all and share in the goings on. :hug:

Probably didn't want/need to hear about my chicken gyno exam, tho, huh? :rofl:

[yellerpup]

29. The others may not have wanted it

but I NEEDED it. :rofl:

[hippywife]

30. You, my dear

are an absolute nut! :rofl:

But I love it! :loveya:

[japple]

32. No, the chicken gyn exam was not what I wanted to hear about, but

I'm sorry to hear that the po' little critter was suffering, and hope her transition to chicken heaven was swift.

[KC]

34. Love the

website design and I can't wait to see what all will be on it !

[hippywife]

35. Thanx, KC!

I can't wait, either. :D

:hi:

[pengillian101]

36. Beautiful beginning!

That should be a fun experience. I love the look and feel of it. :)

:hi:

[hippywife]

37. Thanx, gilli.

It is all very exciting when I don't let myself get overwhelmed by all the work. :D

[pengillian101]

42. Well, hell's bells!

I have time, and I offer my services.

[beac]

38. Congrats on your new baby!

Can't wait to see the finished product. :hi:

[blaze]

40. Oh, very cool!!

I'm guessing it's my aging eyes....

but it took me a couple of reads...

I know, now, that it says "Handcrafted by Hippywife."

But, on first read, it said, "Handeratted" by Hippywife... :rofl:

Other than that, I *love* the look of the homepage!!
