1. Under The Table and Dreaming is a really sweet blog. Clearly a huge amount of research and time has been taken to put together a post with 65 Easter desert recipes from around the blogasphere. This really cute Easter cupcake below is just one of the recipes shared. If you click on the image or link below you can visit Under the Table and Dreaming and see what other delights are in this "mammoth" post. Both recipes below originate from Martha Stewart. Another yummy Easter desert featured on Under the Table and Dreaming  also a Martha Stewart recipe. It's a chocolate cake with crepe paper flowers, don't they look real!

Auction Purchase & Open House Spring Break

Image
I hope everyone is doing well and looking forward to a fun weekend. The Open House party will be going on Spring break for a few weeks.   I'll still be posting and visiting you, the party will just be on a short hiatus.  I need a little breather and the time to catch up on reading my favorite blogs, returning emails and finishing some long overdue projects.  I'll be returning soon with more beautiful homes to share and a fabulous giveaway! ................. A couple of weeks ago I went to an auction liquidating the inventory of a very expensive home decor shop.  I was the high bidder on two beautiful Italian pottery pieces.  They still had the original price  of $395.00 each on them!  You all know I am  rather  very frugal and there was no way I would pay anywhere near that amount.  I filled one of the urns with seashells and a white sea fan from my Etsy   shop.  I know it is hard to tell in the photo but this piece is huge and weighs a ton.  I can barely lift it even when emp

Good morning! So nice that its the weekend. We have a few things on the agenda but nothing crazy and I am looking forward to some relaxing time spent at home sans workers...woo hoo! Its suppose to rain today, so its a good day to catch up. We have a party to attend and I am always stuck with the dreaded "what to wear" dilemna, don't know if I have the energy to brave the crowds and go find something to wear. Oh well....guess its back to my boring but safe black dress! I have been very very busy this week with the online store. Its a lot of work, but its truly a labor of love. Getting emails and pictures from excited customers makes my day like you cannot believe. To hear how excited they are just makes ME so happy! So thank you...keep them coming! I am working very hard to get the orders out the door, and the first month no doubt there are small hiccups, but rest assured I am working hard and aim to please. I would like to announce the winner of the beautiful crystal hurr

Baseball

It’s spring time in the South and y’all know what that means…baseball season is upon us!  Yes folks, on the days when I’m not at the ball field watching the PCP and his daddy practice and play, I’m at home trying to keep the littles from crashing a ball through my kitchen window or scrubbing red clay out of every article of clothing we own (your tips and tricks for this would be much appreciated.)  We’re a few games into our season and it’s shaping up to be another good one! The PCP spends most of his time at third base, but I couldn’t resist sharing him at catcher.  Y’all know, that’s the position his daddy played for the Yellow Jackets in college!  (Is that hiney presh or what?!?) John’s biggest hit of the night was not only a home run, but it also earned him the game ball! There is nothing that makes me prouder than watching my boy try so hard at something he loves! Honey's got the car packed up and we're hitting the road home.  Watch out Savannah...we should be there by lun
