Happy happy, merry merry - I hope everyone is enjoying time with those who are close to their hearts...♥

Well, it feels weird because I haven't done it in years, but I just sort of put my website on hold for the remainder of the year. It needs a huge overhaul, and while I clear the cobwebs from the site and my head, I just thought it would be easier to do it this way. However...

That's what I'm calling it. I did that thing to my back again. The thing I did last month, only this time it's worse.I've been tosee my boyfriend, the chiropractor, twice in the last 5 days (my husband even drove me once - it's that...

I'm done. Just like that, it's over. I can't believe how fast this season flew by - maybe it wasthe crazy schedule, but I swear, if someone poked me and said, "Hey, it's only October 2!" I'd believe them. Once again, I overdid it...

The thing I love about multi-day events is being able to load-in, set up and leave it for several days in a row. It's awesome. It helps so, so, SO much. But it's still really exhausting. Thank goodness I was surrounded by my pals, who kept me entertained when things were slow...

Yesterday was the first day of the annual Sandpipers Holiday Home Tour Boutique - 3 days of shopping, schmoozing and chatting :) Thank goodness Joelle is on the ball - she was showing me her SNAZZY new camera (seriously, drool-worthy) and took a bunch of pictures yesterday...

One of my sons (high school senior) is taking an awesome Environmental Science class this year, and every once in a while, he comes home with these little tidbits on sustainability and ecology. I love it...

Hello long lost friends. I didn't mean to be away from this space for so long. The season has a way of getting away from me and it did just that. Now, I have all this catch up, not just here, but everywhere...

I can't believe tomorrow is Wednesday. Thisweek is already getting away from me, but I've accomplished a ton in the last two days (seewhat happens when you stay away from the computer? Interesting observation.).The picture above was my set up on Saturday at St. Martin of ToursFall Festival...

Hello! What a week! I'm just popping in here right quick to remind folks that today is the LAST DAY to save 20% on my website with promo code SWEET - here's the pretty graphic: I know, I repeat myself. It's the Jewish mother in me...

This past weekend was my last weekend off until about December 12, unless I decide to do a last minute Farmer's Market (not counting Thanksgiving weekend). Isn't that nuts? The holiday event season totally crept up on me...
