Open House

Thank you to everyone who showed up to make our Spring/Summer Open House such a success! It was such a fun weekend! Thank you, also, to Nancy Vorasso for coming and bringing all of your pretty handmade items (weren't they such a hit!). It is always nice to have you there to help me!

We are now concentrating on new bags for the Blueberry Festival on Saturday June 7, and then will begin working on new designs for fall. We will schedule another Open House for the last part of August. Of course, we will keep you posted!

Have a great week.....
Oh yeah, check back later today -I am adding a dozen bags to the "Ready-to-Ship" page on the website!

My Little Tiny Baby Son

On August 23, 1991, my little tiny son came into this world, weighing only 4 pounds and 13 ounces. He was tiny. Tiny.

In my mind, he is still only about 4 years old. When I think of him and my girls throughout the day, I always see them as the tiny little children that they were. So, even though I see Tyler everyday, every morning when I go in to wake him up it is always a little surprising when a 6'2" young man gets out of the bed...how did my little tiny Tyler transform into this tall, handsome creature?

Two weeks ago, Palatka High School's very talented musical theatre class put on their spring musical, 42nd Street, Tyler played Billy Lawlor, and he was awesome. He wasn't the only one -----from Josiah playing Julian Marsh, to Bethany as Dorothy Brock and Tara as Peggy, Mandy as Ann Reilly and every other member of the cast....they were spectacular. I say all of this to get to this point: Each and everyone of them looked (and acted) like a million dollars.

So, if they looked like a million during their awesome production of 42nd Street, last night for Prom, they were $100 million. ALL of them looked like movie stars....

For now, you will just get a look at 3 of the pictures that I took (and let me remind you I am NO photographer) but I promise-- as the really good photos start coming in --I will add even more.

Tyler and Mandy, Prom 2008. Aren't they just gorgeous? Look at her gown....straight out of Hollywood!

Thanks for visiting, and letting me run on and on about Ty.....but sometimes a mother just has to brag!

Have a great Sunday!
