Welcome to Kathy's Beaded Blessings Quality Crafted Unique Jewelry ~~~ Visit My eBay Store ~~~ The Red Hat Society Cookbook More than 1,000 recipies from the worlds most divine ladies! Lots of photos! Hardcover (new was 24.99) Factory sealed in plastic wrap On the back of the book it says: "This is the first OFFICIAL Red Hat Society cookbook. All the delicious recipes, fun stories & friendly pictures were submitted by Red Hatters. In typical Red Hat style, dessert takes center stage because LIFE IS SHORT ... EAT DESSERT FIRST" Some recipes shown on back of book: Toffee Bar Crunch Pie, Kahlua Baked Beans, Honey Pecan Chicken Salad, Sausage Stuffed Pepper Boats, Pineapple Coconut Cake, Spinach Florentine Antipasto and Chicken Tetrazzini plus 1000's more! This listing was supposed to insert book information for me but of course it didn't. I don't know how many pages there are because it is sealed but it measures 1 12" thick x 9.5 tall x 8" wide. It is a beautiful book! I gave one to my friend and not only are the recipes yummy and time tested but the stories of these gals are a hoot! These red hat ladies know how to live, love and celebrate! lol, the stories are so wild they seem made up but there are photos to prove their wild excursions! If you have considered joining this group of fun loving ladies, try it! Even if you are under 50 years young, you can join as a Pink Hatter and graduate up when you become of age! Also, there is a special bond between these ladies, most are alone or widowed, becoming close friends during their golden years! I sure miss dressing up all pretty and elegant with boas, too much jewelry and big fluffy hats! I hope you love this book! There is nothing wrong with it, I don't cook any more so I don't need it. Books and media are not returnable nor refundable. Please educate yourself of what you are buying so there will be no need or desire to return this book. This book is sealed so I do not know what the copywrite date is, I do know it is the first edition they printed.

There are no hidden meanings in my listings, no words to seek out and find to read between the lines. The disclaimers below is simply to cover myself for just in case; like the one that thought she would get one key chain for each photo. A word about Bali, Tibetan, German silver and/or gold. I love these type of metals as they do not peel, tarnish or loose their original beauty. They are not required by law to disclose their gold or silver content therefor you will not find a stamping like .925 silver or 14kt gold on the beads, charm holders, clasps, etc. Yes, I did put in quite a few photos, this is so you can make an informed decision to buy this piece for yourself or a deserving friend. A crimp bead cover is a split bead that folds down and around the crimp. It does leave an unavoidable seam that is barely noticeable. I mention this because after a time consuming struggle a fellow beading ebayer has lost her store because one buyer thought this crimp cover was a broken or plastic bead and left a Negative before even asking the seller about it! Small stores are greatly effected by one N feedback. If there is a coin in the photos, it is for size comparison only and does not come with the listed item. Kathy's Extended Warranty is for your security and free! If your item breaks, which it won't but if it does, I will repair it for free! I even pay for all postage! It won't break, but if it does, simply email me so I can send you a SASE to return the beads to me and I will repair it. Please tie off your item so as to keep as many of the beads on the strand as possible so I can recreate the same pattern. It won't break. I have not been abused or used yet because my items don't break; therefore I have not set a time duration to this policy. Within reason, I guess... Also, please, realize just how powerful your feedback is and that ONE negative AND even a NEUTRAL can and DOES shut down small sellers. One N feedback can cause us to loose our rights to be added to ebays search engines, thus no one can find our listings!) Feedback can have very detrimental consquenses, please know what your opinion is very powerful so please consider how human sellers are. DID YOU KNOW? Neutral and Negative feedbacks have the same consequences for a seller therefore any N feedback will shut down a small seller like me. Please, contact me if you are unhappy and give me the chance to make you happy and satisfied. If something has gone wrong, it was completely accidental. I promise to NEVER lie, cheat or steal from you. And, a little info about the 5 star rating program in Ebay regarding stars for sellers. A seller is removed if they average 4.2 stars and charged more for 4.8 or less. 4 is not a B as in a report card, it is a D and F. We HAVE to receive 5 of 5 stars each and every time. I strive for perfection, not only for these ratings but because you deserve such service. What is worse is that 2 of the 4 of the stars your seller has no control over and yet we are graded as if we do. We should not be held responsible for how long it takes for delivery but for how SOON WE ACTUALLY SHIPPED IT and for the quality of the packaging. I ship within 24 hours Monday through Friday. I list it as 2 days to protect myself for in case I can't.
