Christmas wreath

I found five minutes to hang this wreath in our kitchen window.

It's the little things...

Find five minutes and do something fun.

Hugs,

Happy Birthday!

Need some ideas for a birthday gift?

Might I suggest flowers??
A birthday cake made of flowers! Call to order one for your special someone!
Wife, best friend, sister...
Anyone would love to get this cake, plus no worries about calories! Ha!
(Not that I worry about calories anyway...)

Have a great day!

Hugs,

Happy Thanksgiving!

So, what's on your Thanksgiving table? Most people worry about the food, the pie, the cranberries... not me!

I am more concerned about the centerpieces.

Here is a great grouping going in one client's house for this Thanksgiving Holiday.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!


Hugs,

What I Am Working On Now

Well, fall is my favorite time of year. I say it every year. It's time to start cooking and decorating... and here in Texas it's really the best time to be outside.

Mom and I are going to be a part of the Heritage Society's trunk show again this year. Washington County has a wonderful old mansion that we have weddings and large events at. Every year, on the weekend before Thanksgiving, they have a holiday trunk show and home tour. It is always really fun.

Mom and I will have a booth there again this year. Tons of fun things like hanging baskets, potted containers, antiques and cute "junque." Mom will be making box lunches to sell also for the shoppers. It is going to be so good: tea sandwiches, pumpkin bread, spiced tea, fruit salad... all the good girlie stuff! I like the trunk show also b/c it motivates me to get some of the projects done I have been meaning to do all year.

This rose topiary with the black urn will be there, available for purchase.

So will these cute pedestals I made. Just some vintage plates and candles sticks make some really cute dessert displays!

And then there is my fall garden!! I am so proud of it this year. I am growing cabbage, tomatoes, peppers, onions, lettuce and tons of herbs.
I have parsley (curly and flat), rosemary, lots of lavendar...
The herbs I love to put in flower orders. I will be drying my own lavendar to use in the spring for weddings and other orders.

This is a picture of my pot shed. That is really all it does is hold pots. But, it's really cute.

Everytime I tell Dusty I need a potting shed, he tries to tell me I already have one.

I always correct him: I have a garden shanty, not a garden shed.

BIG difference.

Hope you are enjoying fall!

Hugs!

This and That

Okay... these pictures are not linked together in any sort of way, so bear with me. These are just little snapshots from the cell phone... my life in a large nut shell. This is my brother Rob (or Robert as me and mom will ALWAYS call him, sorry Robert.) This is one of the first weeks he was officially out of the army. That day we met him and his girlfriend Krystin for lunch, and then Robert was going to find an apartment.

He is back in school finishing his degree (now on the Army's tab) and making excellent grades.

So proud.

Owen eating something that looks gross... maybe a popsicle, but honestly I don't know.

Funeral Spray for a Veteran, actually a prisoner of war.
It's wierd because I actually start to feel like I know my customers. This is a niece that called from California. She was really nice and by the time we were off the phone, I wanted to send her a sympathy card.

The light was bad... but you know the rule... you NEVER wake a sleeping baby.

Can anyone tell me please, why J.Crew hasn't called him yet for a modeling contract?
