The House and some other stuff....

 I HEART Mother's Day.

Sales are up again (whewwwwwww)....so I won't need to hire out my young 'uns to do yard work. THAT is a relief now, isn't it?

I cannot keep upwith Mother's Day cards. Completely fine, but cooking dinner with glue & paint on my fingers is really getting old. I think my children have had beef stroganoff flavored by Golden. Thank God they are little troupers.....

I DID get 27 more pieces of the new estate out on the floor today. I think I can, I think I can.....
I am due back tomorrow at 3:00 and again on Monday, so my goal is to get everything out on the floor between visits. Fingers crossed...

Turns out I DO have a home outside the shop and it's blooming and bursting out in the sunshine happiness....

 

 
My iron candle holder will be COMPLETELY covered by the end of May...but I love it when the first sprigs of the neighbor's ivy sneaks over to visit us. I am okay with ivy. For so many reasons:)

 
 

The backyard received some sunshine for 2 days and it just CAME alive. I was so spoiled after our vacation last month...I have been waiting for the sun, wearing flip flops to entice it out to play...but we've been buried in heavy overcast clouds and some drizzle instead. The temperature is down a bit too. No weather happiness here in the Pacific NW really. 

I want Maui back.....
 
The NW Wisteria seems perfectly pleased with our weather...what a show they have been putting on about town...

 



They are just being show-offs at this point. 
 
I am really happy NOT to be posting shop stuff right now...so my apologies if you are here to see new stuff. You need only scroll up for new stuff happiness.

Also on the menu for this weekend....with any purchase, pull a crown ticket (in honor of Mother's Day.....all sorts of Mother's deserve crowns......pupppy mama's, human Mama's, Nanny Mama's.....you name it.)  Today everybody who pulled a ticket pulled a 20% off ticket! You should have heard the squeals. And they inevitably bought more....and that's okay too. It wasn't the PLAN .....but I didn't complain.

Happy Thursday.....and really...it's Friday.

Hi Amy,
We stopped by the shop yesterday and I got some "rad" roller skates for my daughter ( she loves them! Skate key and all! )
Had to add a little side note though, yes the wisteria are blooming like crazy here in Salem too but I do believe the purple flowers in your pics are actually lilacs...
:)
