hurting areas when my fibromyalgia is kicking up it’s heels..Wow. another tearjerker..Happy tears.
Here I am with the reverse side of the apron, Amy was concerned about the fit, but it’s fine!
Ok here is a face shot, I don’t normally photograph myself, but I made an exception for this lovely apron!
Thank you so much Amy, I will treasure the apron and the goodies always. Ok gonna cry again…so touched
Just a short post to wish my readers a very Happy Thanksgiving. I have been ‘fighting’ a headache for a couple days and one thing I am very thankful for is not having to cook the big meal tomorrow! Carl and I will be breaking bread at my sister’s son Matt and his wife Jacqui’s home not too far away, along with my folks. Dan and Netti both work tomorrow, and we will see them on Friday when they come out here to see us..We will be bbq’ing some steaks and fix in's..
Why the scary face, I have NO clue, lol…
We won’t be seeing Scott and Lainie, either due to distance. Scott will be working and Lainie will be heading to her aunt and uncle’s home with her Mom and Walt. I do believe they will be celebrating Thanksgiving with Scott over the weekend when he is off…
I hope that whatever you and yours will be doing for the holiday that it is safe and full of fun and good food!

I am closing out my catalog Willow House show at the end of this week so wanted to pass along the link to all my shopping girls! , There are items under $5, and if you spend $39.96, you get one item for $39.96 or less for half price. That, my friends, is a killer deal! Woot! Great time to get some of those holiday gifts out of the way or hey, be like me and gift yourself!
Willow House used to be Southern Living for anyone familiar with their gorgeous home items..Oh my. Here are a few items that are currently making my heart go pitter pat:
Flower Market Door Basket
Hyacinth Mixing Bowls
Cinnamon Footed Server
Roxy Reindeer Party Plates
Holiday Hanging Trio
And some E Outlet items:
A set of FOUR soup bowls for $8.96!!
Venetian Mirror for $5.96..a couple of these would make a great gift!
Just a few ideas…I don’t do ‘parties’ very often, but I do love the quality and value of Willow House! Thanks for looking!
Let me explain. But first I must thank our Miss Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for being our hostess each and every Saturday..Please stop by and say hi to her and visit some of our pinkies..Saturday is my favorite day of the week mainly due to Pink Saturday!
Ok, now on to Pink is for Friends. I have a very sweet friend who shall remain nameless, mainly due to the fact that I don’t know that she would want her name plastered all over my blog but just know that this gal has become such a dear friend to me. One day not too long ago she sent me some fabric to make an apron for her, which I would gladly do! Along with that was some beautiful Christmas fabric for ME. She thought I could use it to make an apron to sell as I now have a little design business. Ok I am not shy..I have a design blog at Designs by DogmomDiva and have already sold a couple of my creations which makes me very happy! Happy to take orders, gals! Ok back to my friend..Here is the fabric she sent
Is that beautiful fabric or what? So elegant! I love it! Not only that, she sent me a sweet angel that she handmade and it was just what I needed…An Angel. My friend is an angel, that is for sure. PS. I just got the ok to tell you who my angel is..it is the sweet Parsley over at Seasons of my Mind. We were so lucky a couple months ago to meet Parsley, her sweet daughter and hubs, and her pups when they came to California for vacay..Believe me I feel very, very fortunate to be her friend..Thank you Pars!
Isn’t she beautiful?
here is India checking out the Angel, along with Halo
They approved! She is now on my mantle in the family room to keep watch over all of us…Thank you to you know who!!!♥♥
Have a wonderful Pink Saturday and week to come…~blessings~
