Such a sweet day ~

One advantage to having all the boys over for Mother's Day....
is that I did some much needed
housecleaning to get ready for them!!!

They don't care about the house but, I do :)
I want it to be clean, smelling fresh and always welcoming.

Sweet Brad was the only one that couldn't make it.
He had to work all day
and had tons of college homework due tonight as well.

Dennis prepared the most wonderful meal ~
chicken salad croissants,
homemade pimento cheese,
green pea salad,
hash brown cassarole,
tomatoes, onions and eggs.....
So, so yummmmmmm.

Look at this beautiful bouquet of roses, confederate jasmine
and the biggest pink peony from Brent, Emily and Clara ~

A gorgeous hydrangea bush from my sweet husband ~
I've wanted one so I can dry these beautiful blooms!!!

I have to show you, my baby ivy is growing!!!

And the sweetest gift of all....our little Clara has been taking
her very first steps!!!!

We all laughed though because she wanted the baby
cheese puffs in the can!!!!
Food is a motivator, right?

Here's a little video I want to share with you....
Clara's very first steps!!!!

Have a great Monday my sweet friends,
hugs and love,
Dawn

Is it Saturday yet??

In my book, you earn each and every penny you get when you have a yard sale! The one GOOD thing is that it's making me go through lots of things. Today I've been going through and organizing my fabric stash. I love my fabric, can you tell? I'm getting the urge to do some sewing too, just moving it around and going through it, makes me want to make something! This is just one shelf that I'm organizing ~ I still have two more to go!! Don't the colors look all nice grouped together? The sad thing is, I've only parted with a small stack so far.....I do have more to sort through, so hopefully the "sell" stack will grow.

This is just one of my favorite framed prints in our bedroom, don't you love the colors?

This is the most adorable little bag that a customer gave me once. It's a flower sack ~ lined with a heavy mil plastic bag so you can add water and a small bouquet of flowers! I was going to make some but haven't gotten around to it! You could leave the flowers in a small vase, then place inside. Hang on a door knob, chair or anywhere you'd love to see fresh flowers!

I hope you're having a great week. I'll be so very thankful when the yard sale is over!

Thank you so very much for so many of your sweet comments about the magazine article!!! You all are such an amazing group of women, I've just never seen anything like it. Have you seen the movie, Steel Magnolias??

Well you ALL are my Steel Magnolias!!!

xxoo, Dawn
