Memorial Service

Yesterday, Saturday August 15, 2009, I did the flowers for a memorial service in Fayetteville. It was a service for a family of four that died last year. It was really sad, but beautiful. Out on thier family's farm, with a full mass and flowers and candles. Very bittersweet.

These were the crosses covered in orange flowers. Mostly roses, with some lillies and carnations. One for each member of the family.
This spray laid over the memorial stone for the family at thier parent's farm. It was the perfect size for that spot.

It's Time For Fall!

Well, even though it doesn't feel like it, it's time for fall. It's time to start planning our school schedules, fluffing our homes, and actually cooking real, good comfort food! As most of you know, fall is my favorite season. I love to decorate for it, I love to cook (when it actually cools off) and spend time with my family.

I have some ladies coming tomorrow to shop for fall for thier homes. I got one of everything from my floral wholesaler. That way, they can order exactly how many of everything they want.

If you would like to purchase some fall decor for your home, please call or email to make an appointment. 979-836-6008 or moosefeathers@sbcglobal.net!

Nothing says fall like colorful foliage. The garlands I have are really pretty. Some have leaves, with acorns and pumpkins. Some have only berries.

These are some single stems of fall seasoned flowers. Most of these are available to order in multiples.

Granny (my mom) stacked these these little terra cotta pumpkins up on urns... I love urns. These pumpkins are great. Stick them outside and let moss and algea grown on them. Or leave them inside... or both!

Summer, St. Paul's birthday bash

These were taken at the St. Paul's 50th Birthday bash at Fireman's Park. The boys' got to get balloon hats and eat good carnival food. They helped do a mosaic tile piece also, to go up in the school! It was such a fun day.

The count down is on!

Here is my sweet baby Owen. The count down is officially on. We are hoping for a call any minute now. Starting to wonder what life is like with three boys. (four if you count the husband, five if you count the dog.) At least the cat is a girl.

As soon as we hear something we will post...

CRUD WARS

This is how much we love our church kids. Aren't you jealous you weren't there? This was our crud wars we had last week with our youth kids at our church. We go to Champion Fellowship, and right now we are in between youth pastors. We had alot of fun, and so did the kids! We will definately do this again.

Whatever they are called...

Crabapples? Crab Apples? Horse apples? Bodart apples?

Crab apples are the first sign of fall. Of course, it is still so stinkin' hot that it doesn't feel like fall. But it's right around the corner. Can't wait!! It is by far my favorite season. All the good smells, pretty colors, tasty food. What's not to like? Oh, and your a/c doesn't run constantly.

I love crapapples and I will collect them and put them all over the house! Dusty hates them. I usually leave them a little too long in a bowl or basket and they are nasty by the time I get to them. Oh, well. He's not the one cleaning it up, so what does he care?

How cute is this? This is my breakfast nook right now.How English country am I?
