A Monday Lunch with a Friend

Hello, and thanks for popping in today! Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!! I've been MIA on my blog, after the boutique,So, I'm trying to get back on track.
Monday, was a fun day my daughter and I had Kim Caldwell (Artistic Bliss) over for a simple lunch and sharing inspiration and artistic ideas. It was a fun afternoon!

It's nice to have all these roses right now. Just go in the yard and pick a bouquet.

Lunch was a salad with chicken, fresh fruit,bread and this great dressing! And for dessert our favorite the"apple tart" with vanilla bean ice cream (low cal, hee,hee)!

Here's Kim,Erin and Sophie

I'm happy to report that a little "Junk Baby" was adopted by Kim (Tartsy Trixie)she went to a loving home!

Kim, it was great having you over! come back anytime! Oh, thanks Erin, she did most of the cooking (that was even better!)
I need to caught up on all the things that everyone is up too.
Have a wonderful week! Happy Junking to all!
Dream Big!

Come Sit on My Porch! & Creating!

Well, as I am still getting ready for next week (my boutique)! Sat. May 7th. Grab a friend and come on down! I've been sprucing up my porch and it's ready to Welcome You!
I couldn't resist a few scraps of burlap too! I gave new life to a vintage jewelery box. I'll start with the pics of the porch!

This is one of my favs! I picked up this Angel at "Rogers Gardens"
several years age. "Rogers Gardens" has amazing plants and garden
accessories!

OOps! it's out of order! I'm still learning and have a lot to learn! So, bare with me.

Now, the burlap stuff!

I added some burlap scraps and lace. I made the fufu tassel with silk scraps and added a fabric photo image. It has a great hot pink velvet lining.

And "Volia" it's done! It's available!
While watching one of my favorite shows "Dancing with the Stars") I'm hoping Kristi and Max win!! Anyway, I started making more of these fabric muslin and burlap roses, I can't stop making them! I add them to everything, pillows,cuffs,wreaths,cans and anything that needs a little extra! Here's another with guess what??

Well, before I close this post, I can't resist to share a pic of my grandaughter Sophie,we were leaving to school yesterday. Isn't she "yummy"???

Thank-you for visiting today! Have a great weekend, the weather will be great! As, always keep Creating,Junking & decorating!! That's what I'll be doing!!
Blessings!
