Landscape Flower Containers – Take Three

I just love this bathtub! My brother brought this to me the summer my other daughter got married. This year I spruced it up a bit by giving it a coat of fresh paint around the bottom.
The problem is I have never found anything that will grow in it yet, everything dies. This year I [...]

The Wanna Be Bride – 7 Weeks To Go

7 weeks? You have got to be kidding. It’s almost here and there is still so much that needs done. I apologize for not writing last week, I was fighting a cold, and over in Seattle at a bridal shower hosted by my fiance’s mother and grandmother. But… let me start at the beginning.
Saturday my man and [...]

Landscape Flower Containers – Take Two

Is this ugly or what! I was on my morning walk when I noticed this along-side the road covered in dead grass. I have been walking on this road for years and never noticed it.
I picked the old grass off of it and drug it closer to the road. When I got home I asked [...]

Landscape Flower Containers – Take One

Our yard definitely has a country look. We purchased the piece of property that has the old log homestead on it, so… decorating country style fits. I’m going to take the next few post and show you what I’ve come up with to make our yard unique.
I found this old wheelbarrow out in the junk pile at my parents [...]

The Wanna Be Bride – 9 Weeks To Go

Invitations are a pain! I found the ones I wanted at Michael’s over a month ago and this week when we went to pick some up they were gone.  Each week we are told to try again, still gone. We even tried the Coeur d’Alene Michael’s store, gone. The Employee said the ones I wanted were the [...]

The Wanna Be Bride – 10 Weeks To Go

This post is a bit late. I had some technical problems with my website, and my daughter had her baby. So it’s been an exciting week! Back on track? Hopefully… Teri :~
Well this has been a not so interesting week. Not much done wedding wise, just me, freaking out a lot. There is still so much [...]

The Wanna Be Bride – 11 Weeks To Go

Oh. My. Gosh. Only 11 weeks to go! I can’t believe that it is almost time to walk down the aisle. In some ways it seems like this is all taking forever, and in others it’s hard to believe that it’s happend so fast. When I first got engaged the marriage seemed so very far away, almost [...]

Decorations ~ Trash Or Treasure?

Last week when my Aunt sent these pictures to me, I was immediately excited! I just love old things. We have been looking for unique objects to use for decorations in our backyard wedding this July. I knew what some of these objects were, but others?
I see a wash tub in the first picture. I remember my grandmother giving grandchildren [...]

The Wanna Be Bride – 12 Weeks To Go

Nothing from our Wanna Be Bride this week. I think she is regrouping. It has really started to get crazy around here. So…stay tuned, I’ll work hard on getting her to update us next week.
Teri :~

Mother Of The Bride ~ Zoned Out?

I’m so tired! Do you ever feel like everyone is pulling you, and in different directions? The tough part is I really want to be there for everyone, helping, supporting, doing. I pride (pride goeth before the fall?)  myself on being able to do ”it all” most  of the time. But today my mind is screaming take a [...]
