Sweet New Offerings ~

Hello Friends ~ Wanted to share a few of new items, and unique ones that I am now offering in my store.  The pastry cloche's, available in two sizes and great for entertaining with and having in your kitchen for everyday use.  The other is a shoe cobbler's nail tray, great for lots of little needfuls, use in a home office for your clips and such, or candies in your living area, or even little candle nubbies or rosehips.  Lots of ideas.  The Americana Tea-Stained bunting is in, and not only useful for the outdoors, or your hutch, but how about draped on a chair?  just tuck the grommet part under - adding touches of the red, white and blue bring the summer into your home.  The functional watering can fountain is a wonderful additon to your outdoors this season.  I also added another penny mat in felt, with daisies. 
I hope your having a wonderful day ~ I will blog soon ~~ Blessings, Bobbie

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother’s Day to All  I am especially blessed once again this year with my boys. Today my oldest & I had a nice day running some errands, having lunch, planting some flowers by my mom’s house and a trip to my favorite garden center ... my youngest was at Six Flags on a school field rip for band, which long story short we ended meeting him there late afternoon. I am hoping for some sunshine tomorrow ... have my mom/dad and mother-in-law coming for a early dinner...hoping to grill some chicken and such. After mass in the morning the children will probably take me to good ol’ McDonalds for breakfast, everywhere is just too crowded and with company coming over I hat e to be rushed. I hope your day will be a beautiful one.



For my outdoor news, I have a majority of my planting done in the pots and such and hope to take some pics to share this week. I won’t do too much in the ground for fear of the dreaded Murphy, he already got a hold of one pot today when we weren’t looking. ..of course I cried, a beautiful geranium shredded on the lawn dirt and all enjoyed by him ... he is a brat. I hope this week to start on some Americana decorating in the house, time for the bunnies and spring to go away. I love the red, white and blue!


I would like to share a new vendor I have found for my store that makes the most awesome primitive dolls, purely handmade in Tennessee, you are sure to love them. I have two on my site currently, Betsy Ross in Blue and a Prairie Doll, they are soOoo Prim 





Well ...I will blog again this week hopefully – til then may you be blessed ~~ Bobbie

~ Easter Blessings ~

Something about the Easter Season that brings such a sense of peace, it could be that I spend a bit more time praying about all the blessings in my life, Good and Bad.  We all know things happen for reasons we don't know, but it is the strength from above that get us through them.  Bittersweet with my boys, for they really don't think the bunny hops to our home anymore, but the baskets usually have some goodies waiting for them.  The older boy, Zach, did not color eggs with me, x-box & his friends now has taken over that spot ... glad my younger one, Adam,  still enjoys coloring egggs, (sigh).  This morning it was nice that Zach accpmpanied me to church to have the food blessed, it has been a long tradition of mine to do this and I hope it will be passed along when the time comes.  Both my boys participated in Holy Thursday mass, and my husband and I were Eucharistic Ministers, I love when the whole family is apart of the mass.  Good Friday Zach was asked to serve the mass, I am very proud of him.  But as he is getting older, he feels this will be his last year for Alter Serving ... (sigh). 
Today is also Adam's first game ... finally the weather is cooperating ...let's go Yankee's!  Very windy but at least 60 degrees ... storms, cool and cloudy conditions all week...so a little wind I guess will be fine.  My Murphy update for this time around is he was very excited to have his first sleep over, we took in our friends Lab for the night ... they were very happy to be with each other....needless to say I would never want two dogs at a time :)  Love them and very entertaining, but alot of work.  
I bought my first pot of pansies, put them on the front step, and yep Murph went for them, he is a goat, not a dog...I will not be having many flowers this season for he will eat them all - he such a boy!
Tomorrow I will be having my family here for Easter, little Quinn will be here for his first Easter, can't wait.  Good to have a new baby in the family.
The pictures I am sharing today are a few of the rearrangements I already did because I wasn't happy of course with how I set up the first time...lol.., a pic of Adam dying eggs, & of his pancake creation he made on his own, I think its a snowman ..LOL. and included a picuture of Murphy and Rory ... I think murph has his tongue out!  You can tell who the puppy still is :)







I hope you have a Blessed Easter ~ A blessful Spring & bLeSsinGs today :)  ~~ Bobbie

One of those days of you feeling you are accomplishing something but really are not...I dislike these days.  I managed to take some pictures around my house, and glad I did for I have some re-arranging to do.  I do this every-time.  I am getting ready for spring, love the bunnies!  Here are a few pictures of some of my gatherings .. Enjoy and I will be posting more hopefully by weeks end.  ~~Blessing ~~ Bobbie
