A Memorable Party....

Annas Deviled eggs.... a must!

Sarah and Joe know how to throw a great picnic - cookout! We gathered at their home to celebrate Memorial Day. Look how cute Sarah was- decked out in her Red,White and Blue apron. She can wear anything with style! She had everything looking so festive and fun. She makes our country proud as a Air Force Majors wife. It was a great day to honor our servicemen and their families and we sure are proud of ours!!


Hope yours was memorable too!!!!

God Bless......

America
Happy Memorial Day

The shortest way to heaven.....

Is through a Garden Gate....

Peeking out.....

to say Have a great May Day!!

And they lived happily ever after.....

My good friend - Amy from Blessings and Baubles daughter McKinsey got married last night in a magical setting. I knew I was in for a treat when I entered the reception and a table of darling cookies and candies in Blue and green greeted me.

The cakes were gorgeous... and tasty!
notice the Chocolate Chip cookies peeking around the cake -
Amy made these-I went home with a sugar high...
The tables were all just a little different and filled with
amazing colorful flowers and candles...

Love the flower floating in this vase-how did they do that?
and be sure a look at the darling white butterflies on everything

The lucky couple left in this wonderful RED convertible - owned by the grandfather....I wonder if I could get adopted so I could ride in this car? It is my color!!!

My hopes and prayers are that Mckinsey and Whitney
live a long and happy life together.

Thanks for letting me be a part of your special day.....

A Fine Feathered Affair.....

This past Thursday I hosted the May luncheon for the Quaint Old Homes group and I wanted to share with you some of the fun I had decorating for it. I love Nest (as if you hadn't noticed)and I decided to use Nest as the theme. I decorated the cupcakes and cake with bird nest made from shredded wheat and Choc/peanut butter. At Easter I bought about 4 bags of jelly beans to get the robin egg blue eggs to have enough to put on the cupcake nest.HEHE Then I found out at Walmart they had bags of cadbury eggs in robin egg blue all in one bag!! Love the color of those eggs!

The invitations were birds I cut from darling scapbook paper..... The centerpiece I filled with a wonderful gerber daisy and of course a bird nest.

We won't flock together again till fall but it was a fun day spent with my fine feathered friends.....

Spring Fever....

No I am not moving...just been to Canton and this is what our car looked like on the way home....
One man said it looked like we were going to a funeral with all the flowers! I said no just to my yard. I have not been to faithful with blogging lately - Please I have been busy planting, digging and redoing everything in sight - A girl has just got to go outside some and enjoy the outdoors! I spend just about every waking moment out side these days. I love spring and the coolness of the days and evenings.
Our trip to Canton was such fun- we took along the younguns! It is so neat to see them loving OLD things too! Of Course with out any doubt the first stop is ALWAYS- Laurieannas- heaven on earth. I just love her displays it could get a girl plum worked up to go redo a whole house.


We also stop at - Verandas - such neat stuff and I love her collage of fun things hanging on this mirror...
Look who Sarah ran into- her big sis from tri-delt days at Baylor - Mandy such a precious friend she has been through the years! And she was loving Canton too - just love it!
The younguns - Kedren, Anna and Sarah... Kedren bought a set of old pyrex bowls and she was sooo excited to find them in primary colors. Anna found a old pair of cowboy boots she just loved and Sarah bought a darling shirt and cute "Knick -KNacks "(I added that for Joes benefit) for her home.
It was a fun day of laughing, dreaming what it would be like to buy everything we wanted there and seeing Canton through the eyes of 20 somethings..... Its a great place for all ages.

I am off to get ready for the Quaint Old Ladies coming to my house tomorrow.... Oh the cooking, cleaning and digging I have done to make the day just as quaint as possible....I can't wait to share the pictures of it all.
Till then go have a little spring fever yourself.
