how cute...


party favors...







Abigail's birthday tea party was this past Friday at her house -- with all of her little friends. Linda called me like two days before the party and said "do you have any ideas?" My reply "of course!" I immediately got in the car and headed out to Michaels and the dollar store to see what I could find on such short notice. This is right up my alley!

Well, I didn't find much at Michael's except some journals (Abby loves to write, what girl doesn't). So I decided to purchase one for each girl so that I could personalize each one. At the dollar store I found some cute little soap petals that I thought I could convert into name plates for each girl. I had such fun creating -- there was glitter everywhere! Here are some pictures to show you how they turned out.

pink snow...


I'm not sure why -- but for the past few days I have been fascinated by these pretty pink petals (say that 3 times fast!). It's almost as if the ground has been covered in pink snow!

I can just see myself sitting on a blanket under that tree, with a glass of lemonade and a good book! If only it would stop raining!!!

Don't worry, I won't be sitting under that tree anytime soon. Between doctor appointments, physical therapy, orthodontist and soccer -- need I say more!

I can still wish!


summer sachet...


Just added this great new summer sachet to the online store -- click here to get your very own!


This hydrangea sachet is also available.

some new pics...






working hard...

Last week when Linda went to auction my mom watched the kids and I stopped by her house and picked up Abigail -- who went in to work at the shop with me.


It was kinda cold and rainy so we stopped by McDonalds on the way to get her some fries and a drink, then we spent some time opening boxes (notice how Abby is lounging on the chairs with her feet up helping me open boxes, if you look hard you can see the box with all its papers all over the floor), she was ready to leave at about 3 -- until I convinced her to walk across the street to the Leesburg Vintner to get some chocolate (she put on Grannie's raincoat :) to stay dry), I got about another hour out of her and then she was really ready to leave!


all your chicks in a row...


Well, Spring Break is (has been) over and we (or should I say I) are slowly getting back to normal -- believe you me, this a LONG process. What is normal? Normal is running your kids ALL OVER creation, doctor appointments, stress fractures, sick pets, soccer practice, fast food (who has time to cook!!)...


I am getting all my "chicks" in a row -- the first step is this post. Lots more to come!!

Well, the sale is behind us and we need "stuff" to fill the shop.

Linda is at auction (I have talked to her on the phone and she has sent me 2 text messages with pictures!) and she is very excited about her purchases! You will have to stop by in the next couple of days to see what she has found!

See you then!

a taste of spring...


Today was BEAUTIFUL!
Linda and I were busy at the shop moving things around after a very busy weekend. We had the doors open and there was a nice breeze, visited with some customers -- I just can't wait 'til this warmer weather decides to hang around! (If you are wondering where Mom was -- well, she was watching the kids!) Hope you enjoyed your day!

One last thing before I sign off -- we just unloaded this great piece off the truck today. One of Linda's "gotta have it" finds!

Here is some of the "great old stuff" Linda found at auction.

fluffing...

Mom and I worked ALL day yesterday setting up this room -- we are still not done "fluffing" (Linda wasn't there -- and she is the best "fluffer") but we have all the basics in order. It turned out so cute! I promise to share pictures of the finished room as soon as we take a rest!

just in...

Just in...

A new product just in -- stop by 'cause Linda would love to tell you about it! She just can't stop talking about it!

It is poo-pourri

"Spritz the bowl before you go...and no one else will ever know!"



Really, I'm not making this stuff up. Here's the deal -- Unlike most air fresheners that try to mask odor, Patent Pending Poo~Pourri is designed to be sprayed directly onto the toilet bowl water before you go! The all natural essential oil secret formula creates a barrier to embarrassing bathroom odors!



my valentine...



I took Abby to a Valentine tea -- isn't she cute!
