Ruffles and Rust and Resting

Ophelia and I on Blogger's Ball night...Thanks, Phil for making my lovely sash!
What a weekend!

Set-up went as smooth as silk...mostly.

Kay Mitchell of The Weathered Rose passing out delicious New York Cupcakes.
The Blogger's Ball was a glorious event filled with prom dresses, sparkly jewelry and laughter.

Julie Sotomura of Photomura in her blog finery. Love the sash made of photo slides!
Julie helping Cindy Pestka of Artgirl-Island don her sash.
Sale day on Saturday was non-stop shoppers, wide-eyed with wonder
for all that we had created to make this a special occasion to remember.

And tear-down took place at lightning speed...trying to avoid the rain
that had thoughtfully been absent for most of the weekend.

A big thank you to Timi and her Posse, my family and friends,
 the other talented vendors and the supportive shoppers who made us all feel so special.

And now we get to rest...until the next fun shindig!

Cheers!

Mums the word!

Tables of chysanthemums
I went plant shopping for my buddy Cindy Pestka's garden project at my favorite wholesale nursery, Vibrant Plants, out in Woodinville last week. I am a sucker for the plants...I can't lie.

One for Cindy...two for me...one for Cindy...two for me.


Acres of plants in a pretty tapestry just begging to go home with me.
And I really had no business buying any plants. None. I told you...I am a sucker.

A couple of my selections...echinacea (in 2 colors) and gaura.
But, now I am really excited to rework a few beds this fall and these will find a happy home in the upper picket fence garden. It is visible from the front picture windows, so will be admired by us and the passers-by.

Yeah, that's it...that is why I did it. It will be our little secret...
