LIVE magazine article!




I was asked to do some flower arrangements for LIVE magazine... There is a little two page article in this months' holiday issue. I am so happy with the way it turned out. Veronica did an excellent job taking pictures, and the layout was awesome. These are some of the arrangements I did for them!
There are some interesting holiday decorating tips from me, plus other fun stuff in the magazine like: cookie recipes, winter gardening, etc...
Go pick up a copy of LIVE today!!

Thanks to Rachael Hall and the team at LIVE... thanks for the opportunity. It was really fun and ya'll really made me look like I know what I'm doing!

More to come tomorrow!

I'm Baaaaaacccckkkkk!

For the few of you who actually check my blog.... I'm back! Sorry it has been so long since I posted last. I will try to be better, I promise. I just got done with a family friend's wedding this last saturday (congrats Nathan and Paige), so I finally feel like I am able to do something besides make flowers!
I thought it would be fun to show you my entry way. I don't think I have posted this one yet. I tried to make it spooky and fun for my boys, but also a little cool for mom! (Dad could care less!)
Rubber spiders and tons of black feathers everywhere!


I love urns and pumpkins. I picked up that little black house at a thrift store here in Brenham. I thought it looked like a mini haunted house.



Hope to post again soon! Have a great day!



The Robinson Five

Sorry for the quality of this picture... I had to rotate it so that you would not think we were standing on our heads.
This was us after church a few Sundays ago. We are getting together a letter to send everyone that helped with the adoption, and wanted to enclose a photo. Well, the only time we ever look that cute is for church. So, here I am with all my boys. (You can't tell, but I am wearing a dress!)
Have a great day!

New Management Team

Here is a picture of my new manager. The two older managers have moved on to new positions at St. Pauls' Christian Day School.
Isn't this typical? This is what he does while I work!

For Sale!




This is a great pair of concave glass pictures... old victorian colors... not sure about when they were made... we had $42 on them at the store. We are now asking $25 for the pair.
Let me know if you are interested!


For Sale!


This is a great old kitchen cabinet/pie safe that I have had for probably 7 or 8 years... It's got all the original hardware and old chicken wire in the top screen doors. The inside shelves are the same beadboard as the two bottom doors.
It would make a great t.v. armoir for a flat screen, or a great free standing pantry. The bottom two doors have a little trouble shutting. I think they just need to be sanded and waxed well... I can close it if I really try.
I am asking $275. If you are interested, please email or call me:
