Hello, friend! What a week it has been! To say we’ve had a few distractions is an understatement. I’m happy that I can slip into the make-believe world at The Treasured Home, where all of the distractions are harmless. I wish everyone could! Not only do I have plenty of distractions, I rarely live in the present. I learned early on, that having a retail shop means a lot of advance planning. So, right about now, I’m getting in the holiday spirit, planning classes for the season! Thankfully we have lots of help, from wonderful guest instructors! I couldn’t ask…

Hello there! You may have heard that we had our first two-day workshop, last weekend. Months ago, I invited Lynne Brundage, from Ellen J. Goods, to teach a weekend workshop, at The Treasured Home. I met Lynne at the Iron Orchid Designs training workshop, in Folsom and have seen her creativity online. She said “yes” to the workshop and the planning began! We tackled three projects with joy and it wouldn’t have happened without our amazing team of women! Tregae, Darlene (not pictured), Michelle and Susan were on hand to help and made everything go smoothly. All fifteen women finished three projects…

Whew! I have lots to report on. I sort of feel like Lois Lane! First of all, we enjoyed our annual shop retreat. The time went way too fast! We were sadly missing shop sisters, Susan and Linda. Last minute things come up, when you’re trying to find a good time for 7 women to get together! One of the highlights was dinner at Soule Domaine, in Crystal Bay, on the north shore. It’s always a great experience, without being fussy! I hope you can try it some day. They have two seatings, at 5 and 7:30. You can learn…

Hello Sunshine!, I’ll bet you’re as grateful as I am, that the triple digit temps are behind us…at least for a bit! I cut these hydrangeas yesterday and just love the color! If you have the outdoor space, with partial shade, I highly recommend this plant for your garden. Low maintenance and if pruned properly, they bloom like crazy! One business I’m glad I’m not in, is cameras! I’ve owned a couple of good cameras, but gave them up when the iPhone offered such wonderful photographs! This is an old tree stump I see on my dog walks, with Micah,…
