be back soon!

Well, needless to say, it's been a busy summer.  Two new grandbabies, family vacations, buying trips and, of course, just life in general.  Now with school starting up again and lots of exciting work with our new design team (more to come on that), our poor little blog has taken quite a hit.  I am going to take the week to get it all in order and start back after labor day with more regular posting.  Hope you'll stick around!  We have lots of fun stuff to share...

And, while I have you here, I thought I would tell you to keep an eye out for our Big Sale coming up after Labor Day.  I have actually already started dumping stuff in the sale room.  So, some markdowns have begun for those that want to stop in (we're talking 50-75% off!).  Keep your ears open for more details on the Big Sale to come, also!

wrapping up my summer adventures

Before I came home (I'm back!), I headed out to New Orleans for the wedding of some very close friends' son.  I helped with the flowers, ate (amazing food!), drank, danced and had a wonderful time!  It was a good last adventure for the summer, but it's good to be home.  Needless to say, I am quite exhausted.  

We even gave it a whirl making flower crowns for the little girls and they turned out absolutely adorable (unfortunately, the only picture I got was blurry, but you get the idea)...

It was a wonderful weekend!  Thank you to everyone!

huntington beach

We stopped by Huntington Beach the other day and there was lots of excitement going on.  I actually had no idea there was a US Open of Surfing.  Very thrilling.  Enjoying my last few days of summer at the beach.  All too soon we will be back in the swing of things with work and school and our very hot hometown.  

watches

I found these great watches at cash and carry at market and couldn't help but pick up a whole bag of them.  I think little and big girls alike would love them!  We are planning a sweet sixteen party for a friend and are planning on using these as party favors.  Look for pictures of the party to come!

And speaking of great finds...

I discovered these amazing voyage blue indigo fabric and throw rugs!  Call the store if you're interested!
