Another Evening in Paris- Girls Night Out!

Thanks to everyone that made the evening special!!!!!!!!!

This is entrance of the shop that night!

This is our winner Marietta, who won the beautiful jewelry set from

Sweet Romance.

This is my special friend & an artist Mary Ann.

Even my son got into the french theme. He was taking pictures and

keeping the dessert table full!

Also my sweet beautiful daughters were there to help me!

Here is some of my french decor.

Fall is on its way!

This scarecrow is friendly and he can even wave hello!

These apples look so good you want to pick them from the basket.

There is such a warm feeling when fall comes. It's a very colorful

season.

Fall is a time you love outdoors and still enjoy your garden.

It's time to start canning. This apron says it all.

Oh my, the bees are swarming, but not in here.
Just pour yourself a cup of tea with this adorable honeycomb teapot

with cup and saucers!

Then wipe them with these cute bee towels. Theres even bee soap to clean with.

And if the day has been a stinger of a day, soak in the tub with these

Royal Jelly Bath Bees!!!!

I love the french yellows and blues!

Fall has so many colors to play with.
Even pink!

Add pink mums and white pumpkins to your pink decor.

The earth tones seem to bring warmth to the season.

This wreath has an interesting way of putting warm and

cool colors together.

French decor

Our window displays our red, black and white french decor.

Our cute little black and white polka dot apron that adds vintage.

We added the red for the accent color.

We also added white pumpkins for a touch of fall.




The added design was the red cherries. Cherry towels and
french bistro dinnerware with a cherry design and french red handle flatware.



Bon Appetit !

My Garden

This was taken in the beginning of Summer.

Where did the summer go???????

Oh, to sit and read!!! No time this year. Hope next year will be better!!!!!

Going to the Chicago Mart

It is time to go shopping!!!!!

I love to walk to the Mart from the train station. Especially after sitting on the train for an hour and a half.


Now it's time to take a taxi . Completely exhausted after two days of walking and talking and ordering. But excited about the items I purchased. Can't wait to get them.

My Trip to Tennessee

I had the privilege to take a break and visit my sister and her family with my daughter.

The flight was quite interesting. The flight attendant kept us entertained by talking to us the whole flight. To be able to sit with my daughter, we had to sit in the back. The very back.

It was a small plane. The only bad thing I experienced was trying to get the humming out of my head. For some reason there was a loud humming noise that came from the back.

Hummmmmmmmm!

It was a short trip but fun and I got to see the Tea Room that my niece and sister opened last year. They found this cute house on 8015 Rutledge Pike, Rutledge.

This is my sister and my niece.

This is a picture of my grandmother that they named the Tea Room after.

This is my beautiful daughter and niece. We had a good time and laughed a lot.

My daughter is quite comical.

This is my sisters beautiful house that I stayed at.

This rock is part of their natural landscaping. They had to remove several.

Where we have to pay big bucks for just one.

The trip was to short. Where does the time go!
