April Sponsors

I’m popping in from the beach with a little business, I’ll blog about our time here, which reminds me I should be taking more photographs, a little later!

To those of you have inquired about ads… I’m getting my act together and hopefully within the next week you will receive all the details via email, thank you for your inquiries!

This month’s sponsors are listed below and they each have graciously provided a description of their business and the photographs listed below! Be back soon… in the meantime, happy shopping!

 

::Farmhouse Table Company::

Farmhouse Table Company – Custom made tables, benches and home decor…

Built from the desire to create furniture that has life. I start out with the need to find wood that makes a statement. Wood that has a history and a story to tell. In this day and age everything is so processed. I felt compelled to change the look of what was available and offer something special. One of a kind pieces of furniture so no two are alike – each having their own story to tell. Crafted by hand you get to feel the wood and let it direct you, to discover, cut and shape every piece until your eye sees what you have been looking for. Perfect balance, color and harmony. Then you sit back and enjoy the beauty that I have created for you. Welcome to Farmhouse Table Company.

Happy Weekend & Advertising

First, y’all are too much about the last post! Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your kind comments, I honestly wasn’t expecting your response! Glad y’all liked it and I’m also glad some of you were able to get a dress & buttons of your own. I have no affiliation whatsoever with Walmart but if they were to compensate me for my free advertising I would gladly accept in the form of cash, store credit or a trip for 2 to the Bahamas… but I won’t hold my breath for any of the above.

Now, it’s Friday afternoon and I just thought I’d drop in and tell you that I hope your weekends are packed full of friends, fun and family and maybe a good book! We seem to have skipped spring around here and it’s looking more like summer through my lens.

Last weekend looked a little like this and don’t be deceived the water was FREEZING but kids don’t seem to mind:

lake1

lake3

sickrover

roverandmorg

sunday morning3

Also, I’ve had a few emails lately about the grassy eggs I’ve done in years past… it is time to start collecting your eggshells!

finished1

They hit their prime 2 to 2.5 weeks after they’re planted… so I’d plant {if you’d like grass in time for Easter} no later than April 6th.  Here’s a LINK TO THE STEP BY STEP DIRECTIONS I posted last year!

Now, before I go, I have to admit that the advertising email address inbox is a little out of control. To the point that emails have gone LONG unanswered and I’m here to offer a public apology.  I’m sorry! I have good reason for not responding, which sounds juicy, but it’s not. If you have recently {here’s where I have to admit how long it’s been since I was able to have control} say, in the last 3 or 4 months, emailed me about advertising and have not heard a response, and are still interested… you can go HERE to this trusty little form {thanks to The Butler}, fill it out and you will receive a response soon. Thank you for your patience & understanding!!

Happy weekend!!
