I’m dreaming of a white and wonderful….

I am so tickled this season to be surrounded by wonderfully creative friends. Do you ever sit back and wonder how women do it? I know I do. I know how busy my life is, raising 3 children, running a shop, taking care of my family, my home, my self. I am TRULY honored, tickled, and just in plain AWE how we as women, creative or not, how we do it.

I spent some time today going through everybody’s shop, through their blog and found some pretty amazing things. Take a look:

~The Kay Clutch~ A Bushel and a Peck {i think it’s perfect as a make-up bag, or diaper clutch}

~Ivory ruffled ribbon~ One Hundred Wishes {I’m wrapping everything in this!}

~ Personalized stationary ~ Le Papier designs {These are going to make some great thank you cards}


~ Cloud Dress ~ Edens Bouquet { This is perfect for Baby Wren, who by the way was born yesterday!}


~Tick Tock print ~ Blissful Images { I need this in the largest size avail for my wall in the bedroom}

All of these fabulous things found above are from friends, my creative wonderful friends, who have families, shops, lives. I am so thankful to have such amazing, creative girls in my lives.

I thank you.

Dinner in the Midwest….

Who doesn’t love to sit outside, on a lovely evening, in a beautiful garden setting? The wine is chilled, the table set, the candles burning.
Now add the mosquito’s, the large bugs, the little bugs, and the bugs in between!
Hence, the best invention ever made……
the mosquito net!
It even adds a sweet ambiance to the setting, don’t you think?
On a second note, I cannot believe that The Country Living Show is only 6 weeks away!
OMG!
I have SO much work to do to get ready! Last year I signed up to do the show a mere 6 weeks ahead of time, and showed up at the show, sold out of everything, but was NOT prepared. Little did I know what i was getting myself into. The show is huge, and this year, we are going to be prepared, and the whole shop is coming to Ohio!
I also haven’t decided if the shop is going to close or not that weekend, but i will let you know.
I’m also SO excited because I get to have an evening with some special ladies. Some of the girls that I got to meet last year, Mcmaster and Storm gals , The Farm Chick gals, as well as a few talented friends that have Etsy shops are getting together for a “shop gal” dinner…….yippee. Oh, I do hope you’ll join us Sara!
