I Love and Respect Nature~

NOTE:  THIS POST IS IN NO WAY INTENDED TO OFFEND ANYONE OR REFERRING TO ANYONE IN PARTICULAR.  IT IS MERELY AN OBSERVATION AND MY OWN PERSONAL PREFERENCE.

 I'm always seeing these beautiful displays with bird nests and anything that is growing pretty in the wild and I just love the natural look of it all.  I admit, I have thought about using the real thing in my displays but can't make myself to take a home away from a helpless little bird.  So I always make my own out of twigs, dried tall grass and anything that is pliable enough to shape into a nest. This weekend, while cleaning up the yard, we found a precious bird nest in one of our trees.  There was no sign of any Momma or Bebe's in the nest, so my husband carefully cut the branch with the nest in it. 

(no birds were harmed while removing the branch)

You will be happy to know that we returned the nest back in the tree so future birds will have a safe place to rest and stay out of the elements.

Have a great week!

A Relaxed Evening~

It's Saturday night and I have the house all to myself!  What's a girl to do?  Well, I have decided to pour me a glass of vino and watch a favorite movie...a chick flick of course!  Mona Lisa Smile....I don't think that Julia Roberts has ever made a bad movie ever...and this is one of my favorites.  And because it takes place in the 1950's in a place where most of the characters are high society and the clothes, hats and jewelry they wore were fabulous. 

So...off I go and enjoy my evening alone~

Enjoy your evening as well~

My Booth In Warrenton~

I guess you can say I wasn't fully prepared for this show....I forgot my camera!  I had to borrow a camera from a friend late in the show....actually it was right before I was getting ready to leave.  So there won't be very many to show you.  I just wanted to share a few pics of my booth at the Spring Show in Warrenton.

Have a Lovely Sunday~

It's Good To Be Home~

I'm sooooooo glad to be sleeping in my own bed!!!!  Being gone for two weeks is rough on this old girl!  Now, I just need to get back into the groove of things....I just had to show you some of the bluebonnets we have growing in the field next to our home.

I'll post some pics of the show later in the week....I have to catch-up at home first.
