End of a weekend ...

Well it is Sunday night already ... a bit muggy in my neck of the woods ~ fighting the mosquitos as I try to water some flowers outside! Ugh hate those guys! Anyway it was a nice weekend, not too much that I did, but managed to "help" the kids and their bedrooms! It was getting a bit messy! I feel so much better when things are in order!

I am working on a new project, Candlestick Nightlights, they will be available in my store soon ~ They are just a wonderful new light to add to your home ~ about 3" tall and each have a black base and the candlestick and tip have been dipped muliple times in my wax. They say these will last 11 years! It is a LED light, energy efficient...using only $.12 a year based on a $.08 per KWHR. This LED is brighter than the ones you see on the market. Give your kitchen, bathroom or hallway a little prim lighting at a great low cost! I think they are so pretty. Each one is hand-dipped and will not look exactly the same.

That is all for now ~ I hope your weekend was nice!

Had a nice lunch with hubby, but he did not let me visit any of my favorite country stores along the way :( ... there is always next time ~ without hom! :) ...

Anyway some new family news to share ... I will be a Great Aunt! My neice is having her first baby in February ... I am too young to be a great auntie !! LOL. I just pray all will go well ...

It is very humid around here today .. some of my flowers are happy and some not so much...the grass is however green from all the rain. ....but here comes the weeds ...I will have to get out there soon! Also have a new "friend" digging their way under our window well ~ don't know who it is but will soon be evicted!

Anyway ... hope your day went well! Til next time BleSSingS to you! ~Bobbie

Some New Things to Share

8oz. Log Cabin Grungy Jar ($10.00) 50 hour burn time
Pantry Melts ($4.25 ea.) Place in a bowl, crock, shelf, or use in your tart warmers.

Hello Friends! Today was a busy day for me ... working on my website, still figuring out what to put in Country Sampler, and just updating ... did however manage some time in the sun, and of course some house cleaning! It is summer, so I lag on that sometimes! I at least did a little rearranging .. you know me I love to do that! My candle order arrived today with a couple of new things ... Pantry Melts ~ love them! I have them in lavender and 1821 and are they fragrant! Check under candles for those. They look great in a bowl, shelf or a crock. You would not believe how fragrant the room smells (of course I had to try them out!) they can also be used in your wax warmers ... Another candle I ordered is my ever so popular log cabin, this time in a grungy jar so it is versatile ~ once the candle is done being used drop in a votive or even a battery taper for a nice glow to a great primitive candle holder! I am expecting another order in on Friday, so I will be busy stocking for part of the day ~ but I do have my "helpers"!

I will be on vacation Sunday through Wednesday but will still be around to address any questions so please email me. Orders will ship out on Thursday or Friday.

I am thinking to myself that the summer is going by so fast now ~ before I know it the boys will be in school ~ another school year to make me feel old! LOL. August is around the corner. The weather has been hot but wonderful to beable to be out doing things instead of the trapping feel of snow! I love the four seasons, don't get me wrong but not ready yet!

Well I hope that your day was good for you! Until I blog again have a blessful day! ~~Bobbie

Good Thursday ...

And what will today bring to me I ask myself? Sunny skies but rain in the forecast, a bit warm today -- mid 80's and humid. Not my favorite weather but I will take it over the cold and snow. My flowers are trying their hardest to stay with me but I think some have to go ... how pretty it looks in the beginning of planting season! Oh well, guess they will need a "haircut"! LOL. I can't believe that July 4th has come and gone, and yes the boys feel the countdown has begun! Hope not to quickly. My younger son and I are going to the White Sox game tomorrow night with some of his teammates and Mom's ... it will be fun, but I am a CUB fan and that won't change! But it was a good deal and it is time spent with just one of my boys. Saturday is the local Rotary Rib Fest and I am looking forward to it ... one of the bands that will be there are the Gin Blossoms! I love this band and will be happy to enjoy a night out with my neighbors and friends ... oh and the kids! After last weekend of it being uneventful for the 4th, I feel like we will be out doing something for this one! The weekends go by so fast! My big 40 was nice, can't remember if I blogged about it ...LOL old age! Few friends and family, nice and quaint. My hubby actually bought me a stitchery that I was eyeing from someone on Ebay! He made sure he won it for me! "Growing old can be fun if you do it with the right people" how sweet and true. I am posting the picture of it along with where I put it!

Today I will also be going to visit my Mom, we had to move her to a skilled facility (rehab) for about 10 days, so I need to wash her hair today ~ that always makes someone feel better :) I try my best but sometimes I don't feel like I am! The boys will make the trip to see Grandma as well. Please say a prayer for her, and me!

And lastly, if you have not already please come and see the store, I added some new tapers both battery and regular. I also have some new grubby silicone light strands that would look great on your pip garlands! These are very popular!

Until I blog again have a blessful day! ~~ Bobbie
