New to the boards
Hey there, my name is Ashley. DH and I have been living in NM (Los Lunas) for two years now. He is a scientist for the Air Force and works at the most BFE part of Kirtland AFB.
I'm originally from Colorado Springs, CO and that is where I met DH (he went to the Air Force Academy). I'm still trying to adjust, I miss the snow a lot. I worked retail for years and decided to take, what has now turned into, an extended break from it. Currently I am cooking a lot and selling things I make on Etsy.com. I love all things vintage and am currently addicted to carnival glass.
We try to make to most our of everything that comes our way and spend a lot of our time with friends and of course our amazing Cocker Spaniel, Emmett!
Re: New to the boards
Welcome to the board! We're actually starting to get some activity and people coming out of the woodwork.
It sounds like you keep yourself busy. What is carnival glass?
Carnival glass is a pressed glass that you see coming out of the depression era. It was a cheap glass that was actually given away at carnivals, hence the name. It comes in a wide variety of colors of translucent glass, but the main key factor is its iridescence. They also come in far more shapes and patterns then I can properly keep up with.
Thanks for the welcome!
The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.
That is so cool. I'm familiar with the green uranium glass and teh red glass from the Depression. That is such a cool thing to collect!
I have made jewelry for years and sell it on there. I have also just gotten back into making greeting cards and hair accessories. I am having the most fun with the hair stuff right now.
Etsy is exciting and awful all at the same time. I say awful because I spend far too much time there, usually shopping.

Welcome!! I grew up at the edge of Abq., right next to the Isleta reservation, so pretty close to Los Lunas. I currently live in Portales, NM, but try to frequent Abq. at least once a month to visit family.
