Kindred Spirits -The Journey.....Meet Sara

Meet Sara, one of the many wonderful women in Gina K's new line........Here is a little about her:

"My name is Sara and I live in New York. My husband and I came to the United States more than twenty years ago and we opened an upscale restaurant in Chinatown. I love New York!

I love to shop, actually and there is no better place to shop than in the city!

My son and daughter are both grown and have young families of their own. My son is an attorney here in the city and my daughter lives in Connecticut with her husband and my twin granddsons who are coming to stay for the weekend.

I don't work as much as I did when we first opened our business. I used to work all the time but we have a great staff and my husband is there a lot. It's my turn to be a Grandmom and later today, I am going out to buy a few little gifts for the twins. (Grandmom always has to have something in her pocketbook, right?)

I love to take the twins into the restaurant and show them off to the staff. They like to sit down and eat in such a fancy place and they love to get a soda with a umbrella in it. Their favorite thing on the menu is sweet and sour chicken.

I can't wait until they get here but I better get this apartment cleaned up!"

Here is a wonderful recipe just for you:

Gina K. has really outdone herself with this new line of stamps - they are amazing!   The concept is wonderful - women from different backgrounds, different body shapes (not just the standard "thin" woman) and different life stories all coming together in one place.   These stamps are sold as single stamps, they are made of deeply etched rubber on cling vinyl, ready to be trimmed and used with acrylic blocks and will be available 1 minute past midnight on April 10th!
