PLANNING VACATION

Summer is well on the way and we've been planning our vacation again.  Where to go.......what to do?

It used to be so much easier.  You know.....in my "younger" years.  Wanta take a trip to the beach or go on a cruise?  No problem.  I was PROUD to expose all of that flesh in a skimpy bathing suit!  There was a lot less of me and everything was positioned where it was supposed to be!  My favorite bikini was a little chocolate brown crocheted number with a touch of extra yarn in all of the "right" places.  I could gracefully rise up out of the pool after a little dip, tug on my top just a little to put everything back where it belonged, and be well on my way, knowing that all of those stares were for the RIGHT reason!

Today......it's a little different.  Okay, okay it's a LOT different!  If I wanted a cute chocolate brown crocheted bikini it would take 10 women 10 days with reinforced yarn to knit it!  If I gracefully rose up out of the water after a little dip, the water level would go down at least a foot!  And as for a little tug on my top....HA HA!  That's one biiiiiggg tug on the left side and one liiiitttle tug on the right side where I had the lumpectomy and then a HUUUGGE tug on the bottom to pull up all that extra tummy!  And ooohhh the stares!  They would be more stares of horror than anything else. 

So......being big into the public service thing, I'll NOT be going to the beach of on a cruise.  Everyone can relax!

Maybe that's where the motorcycle thing originated.  I (subconsciously) realized that the more flesh that's covered the better for everyone!  Jeans and tee shirts, that's the way to go!  In the winter you're even covered in black leather, the worst you can look like is a giant burnt marshmallow!

Final decision....................it's back to the mountains for us again this summer!

DSCN0265 DSCN0178 DSCN0270

So in mid July it's another epic motorcycle trip for us!  I swear I've had two or three less hot flashes today just thinking about that cold mountain air!  LOL!

Watch out Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana.....HERE WE COME!!!

JUST ARRIVED!

Oh the shop smells so wonderful!  We just received  a shipment of the most wonderful bubble bath!

DSCN2983 DSCN2984

Yep....they're bubble bath cupcakes!  The most delicious scents ever!  OF COURSE I had to take one home and try it and I can definitely say that they leave your bath tub full of wonderful bubbles and the water silky and fragrant.  We think that these would be perfect for baby or bridal showers and certainly for a little inexpensive birthday gift.  We also received ice cream scoop shaped bubble bath and bars of soap in the same scents!

DSCN2985 DSCN2986 DSCN2988

Such yummy pastel colors.  These would be so so cute just sitting on your bathroom counter in a jar!

DSCN2989

Bath goodies in bright colors and wonderful summer scents!

DSCN2993

New lotions and kitchen related products in a Mediterranean olive scent.  We love the new crown hooks!

DSCN2916

DSCN2991 DSCN2992

New votive candles in summer scents!

DSCN2990 DSCN2979

DSCN2981

Lovely new ribbons to embellish your latest project, finish off the perfect gift, or dress up a lamp!  All available by the yard.DSCN2976

Been junking lately?  We actually pulled this lamp shade skeleton out of the trash at an estate sale.  FREE JUNK!  Our favorite!  Perfect for our jewelry display area!

Gotta go!  So much to do and so little time!

Denise

WHAT A WEEKEND!

Nothing like a birthday party to make you finish those little  decorating jobs around the house that you've been putting off!

DSCN2921 DSCN2922

First.....finish up those projects that you've promised customers.  Isn't this a cute desk?!

Then.......finish up those projects at home.

DSCN2944

DSCN2946 DSCN2947

DSCN2950

Paint a picture.

DSCN2951

Decorate the guest bathroom!

DSCN2954 DSCN2955

New bedding for the master bedroom

DSCN2962 DSCN2961

DSCN2967 DSCN2970 DSCN2969

Take time out to love on the kitties!  Uuuhhh what's up with the green eyes!

Thheeeennn..... on Saturday night, the night before the party......be sure and have your car stolen out of your driveway in the middle of the night!  It keeps things SOOO interesting.

DSCN2925

Call friends on Sunday morning for a ride to pick up the birthday cake.  Get to the bakery and find out it's not the one that you ordered!

DSCN2927

Have a bunch of silly kids invade you house for the party!

DSCN2932 DSCN2940

Have the birthday boy open gifts and everyone eat cake on any surface that you can find because the tables you were going to use are in the back of the stolen car.

DSCN2939

Fortunately......the new trampoline was not!  Only two at a time please kids!

Spend the rest of the day canceling credit cards and so on that were in your wallet that you left either in the car or the garage which the thieves got into with your garage door opener. 

Have all of the locks re-keyed because you left your keys in the garage sitting on the washer.  Nothing like making it easy to steal your car.

Spend the rest of the day and night thanking God that they didn't try to come in the house while you were sleeping.

Happy Birthday T-Man!

BLOGGERS BLOCK!

That's what I've had lately!  Or at least that's my excuse for not posting in the last week or so!  Sometimes you just don't feel like you have anything left to talk about!

We've been very busy here.  Decorating for a couple of customers.

DSCN2888 DSCN2889

Sometimes you just need to rearrange what you already have and add a splash of color!

DSCN2886 

I don't know how many times I've heard that you can't mix gold and silver finishes!  Ha....I think this looks wonderful!

DSCN2891

A built in TV cabinet that Heather painted.

DSCN2892

A simple new arrangement above the fireplace made all of the difference.

DSCN2893

This wall in the dining area was previously empty.  We added a few goodies and.....voila!....a whole new look!

DSCN2894

This shelf was a little over crowded so we removed a couple of small things and just slightly repositioned the mirror.

DSCN2895

A slight rearrangement to the entry.

We understand that many women love what they already have and just need a little help arranging things.  I think total time spent in this house was less than two hours.  Fortunately, she had plenty of "goodies" to work with.  Time spent did not include painting the built-in!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Speaking of painting......Heather has been very busy as usual!

DSCN2884 DSCN2900

New pictures on canvas!  Both are already sold!  I LOVE the one on the right with the patch work!  Mother's Day is coming up!  (hint hint)

DSCN2897 DSCN2899

Vintage buffet with colorful knobs and handles!  This one is going in a game room with leopard carpet!  Love the idea of all that color where the family watches 'TV and the kids play!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Just a quick peak at some of the new goodies that have arrived!

DSCN2916

cute new crown hooks!  What is it about me and crowns?  I just can't resist them!  These come in the four different styles shown and are $14.00 each.

We have also received new jewelry, beautiful ribbons by the yard, colorful book boxes, incense sticks in colorful cute tubes, candles are on the way, as are wonderful new bath products. New tattoo art tees and belts with more tees on the way.  We should be getting some great new lamps and more at any time.  Of course, we are at the mercy of all of the different companies which sometimes mean that things get here when they get here, regardless of what we've been promised!  More pictures the first of next week.  I ABSOLUTELY promise!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

For all of you who have been asking .......here's the latest update on our little T-man.  After a trip to the specialist last Wednesday, the only thing we know for sure is that he does NOT have Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis.  His symptoms are more consistent with Fibromyalgia  (I have no idea if that is spelled correctly) as apparently most of his pain is muscle pain and not joint pain.  On the OTHER hand, the doctor suspects sleep apnea and sinus or adenoid problems.  Next up.....a head CT to take a look at his sinus cavities and a sleep study.  Although I was well aware that lack of proper sleep could affect you in many ways, I wasn't aware that it could cause rashes and so on.

So anyway....we're pretty much back at square one.  We'll keep you all informed and appreciate very much all of the concern that you all have shown!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

A field trip to the zoo with nine bazillion kids!  Moms beware......take plenty of Tylenol with you, you'll need it!

How would you like to be in charge of this rowdy bunch of boys!  Poor Heather!

Spring.....babies everywhere!

More next week.  The fog surrounding my brain has finally cleared and I have several good blogs lined up!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Denise

T-Man UPDATE!

Thank you soooo much for all of the concern over our little guy.  We had many people come into the shop and ask about him and also lots of comments and e-mails.  Your concern is very touching.

All of those blood tests...... completely inconclusive!  Wouldn't you know it!  The Doctor still feels almost certain that it is probably Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis.  Our poor little guy continues to wake up every morning with joint pain somewhere.  This morning it was swollen fingers and he wasn't able to move his hands.  Our next move is to take him to a Pediatric Rheumatologist.  There are only two in the state, so it will probably take forever to get him in.  His pediatrician is working on getting him in as soon as possible. 

Fortunately T-mans diagnosis seems to be completely incorrect.  He was just SURE that he was mutating into Darth Maul!!

trailer16a

SCAREY!  Can you imagine walking around the Mall with your kid looking like this?  On the other hand, he would have been quite a hit at Halloween!

DSCN2853 DSCN2869

Instead, he's just a normal almost ten year old who thinks we don't know anything and has decided that he hates his Mommy's kisses!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

What do you do to keep yourself busy when you're worried about your Kido?  PAINT of course!

DSCN2874 DSCN2876 DSCN2877 DSCN2878

Heather has taken it to canvas!  The cross sold the first day!  The chandelier just arrived today!  More to come!

SORRY SORRY SORRY!!

I know that I promised more new jewelry last week, but we've been dealing with a sick little boy and that has kind of taken up all of our thoughts here lately.  Let me share these symptoms with you, they are just TOO weird!

T-man is 9.  Soon to be 10 and has always had allergies, very mild asthma, so on.  About 2 1/2 weeks ago, he started breaking out in this weird rash and his cheeks were bright red.  Heather took him to the doctor who said it was probably an allergic reaction to something.  Pretty much what we figured too.  Said start giving him Zyrtec, and here's a prescription for steroids but of course don't start them unless he gets worse or it doesn't go away.  Next day, the rash was worse,  so Heather started him on the steroids.   Two days away from the end of the course of steroids and he's no better at all.  In fact, he's worse.  He seems to be running a slight fever off and on, complaining of a headache, AND his joints are hurting.  Especially his elbows which are actually so tender to the touch that he doesn't even want to be touched.  Another doctors appointment.  They make it for the next afternoon.  The morning of his appointment he wakes up and everything is worse.  The rash is REALLY bad, his face is swollen, and his fingers are so swollen that they look like little sausages.  Now we're beginning to panic!  This was last Thursday.  Heather takes him to the Doctor and suddenly he's talking about some really serious stuff.  Lupus, Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, (the Docs. main suspicion), and other more serious stuff.  They took four vials of blood and "are ordering 9 gazillion blood tests" as the nurse put it in order to find out what's going on!  They have another Doctors appointment this Thursday to (hopefully) get a final diagnosis.  In the meantime, we're on pins and needles and more than a little distracted!  Thus.....the lack of blogging!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

On the lighter side, today is Heather's birthday!  34 years ago today, I had the cutest little 7 1/2 pound baby with tons of brown hair.  Happy Birthday Heather!   What a joy it is to have a daughter who is also my best friend and business partner!  AND I get FREE painted furniture any time I want it!

Always in search of something that she would love, I ordered her these soooo cute tags from the antique paperie !

DSCN2842

They were all so cute and such a great price I couldn't make up my mind so I ordered several different styles!  They're great to tuck in little places on your inspiration boards, tie on the front of boxes in your craft closet, or even hang on lamps.  I also ordered a few for myself but have had to keep them hidden away until later this afternoon!  I can't wait to play with them and see where they end up!  In true fashion, I'll be running around this afternoon trying to find that one other "perfect" thing for her.  I'll drag T-man with me as an excuse!  Hey, he has to buy something for Mommy too!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Yesterday we made a quick trip to Dallas Market.  It was the last day of apparel market which we had never been to.  We were SOOOO confused never having purchased apparel before!  It's a whole other world!  We ordered some SUPER cute tees, hats, and bags.  Wanted to order some cute shoes but there just wasn't enough time!  One day is hardly enough time to accomplish anything!  We were lucky enough to stumble on an UNBELIEVABLE accessory line that we have never had before!  Wonderful  French Country goodies that we can't WAIT to get! 

Have a wonderful Monday!
