Hello, gorgeous! How the heck are you? Fabulous, I hope! Poor Mr.Wonderful! He had to put up with me this morning, as I was stressing over rearranging the shop! You see, Cheryl sold our vintage German beer garden table, to a lovely couple, on Sunday. Yes, I guess we are supposed to sell the furniture we have for sale! ???? But, what about my displays?! Ha! I threw this together, for a quick fix, until another beer garden table arrives. What would I do if something truly serious came my way, I thought? Everything calmed down once I reminded myself that I…

Greetings, dear friend! I’m sitting at the kitchen table this beautiful Monday afternoon and am so in love with this time of year, as I look out into the back yard! The Iceberg roses are proudly showing off their first big bloom of the season. I love this variety, because they are prolific bloomers and require little to no skill on my part, to grow. That’s a win-win, for sure! _________________ Our annual Makers Day, this past Saturday, was so fun. We celebrated lots of creative success, along with smiling faces! We couldn’t have done it without the help of…

Hello, friend! I hope you’re doing well and enjoying the beautiful days! Do you celebrate Mother’s Day? If you’re still lucky enough to have your mom in your life, celebrate it! My mom passed away years ago and I miss her. I am certain she would be working at the shop, if she was still here. I would have gotten all sorts of advice and she would have had a blast! If you are looking for a way to honor your Mom, I may have a couple of ideas. Fancy Tote Workshop, May 11th, $25.00 We try to do a…

Hello, darling! I’m writing to you on Monday, during what appears to be an unimpressive solar eclipse. At least here in California! Are you in a part of the country, where it was more memorable? My sister-in-law, in Texas, had an amazing black-out! In other news, I attended a family baby shower on Saturday. What a beautiful event and the day was gorgeous! Two weekends in a row, to visit my sisters. 🙂 Back at the shop… I was so happy to see all of you who wanted to learn all about Iron Orchid Designs’ Paint Inlays! Now, you’re probably…

Hello, darling! How was your Easter weekend? Wonderful, I hope! I’m the middle of five “kids” and it had been way too long, since we were all in the same place at the same time! Bob and I hosted Easter dinner to 16 and it was a wonderful gathering. Everyone was well behaved (!) and the sun came out just as people were arriving. You may have heard that Cheryl and I are hosting a Charcuterie Demo at the house on April 19th, at 5:00 p.m. I’ll be creating a board similar to the one below and Cheryl will be…
