Happy Pink Saturday!

This week Miss Beverly over at How Sweet the Sound

is having the theme of Autumn Flowers and Foliage

on her Pink Saturday Post Party!

This is a photo op spot at our shop!

This great picture was taken by a friend of ours

and is one of the better pictures I have

with my Mommy!

We took some other pictures, but that first one is my favorite!

 So Happy Pink Saturday...there is some pink in Mom's dress!!

Please join Beverly and all the other lovely bloggers over at

How Sweet the Sound to see other great Fall Flowers!



Rollercoaster

Many of you know that I have been

taking care of my Great Uncle for the last

two, going on three years.

This past Tuesday we got a call from the hospital

that we needed to get to Virginia right away

that he had taken a turn for the worst.

We rushed up, said our good-byes, got things in

order, and prepared final paperwork and things with the

hospital. As of today (Friday Morning)

he has rallied and looks like he will be with us for

a while longer!

I have tons of pictures to share with you about the

Southern Bloggers Conference and their

shopping day at SuzAnna's Antiques

but for now bear with me while we are riding this emotional

roller coaster.



Sharing, Cleaning and Shopping!

Over the next few days I will be sharing some of the pictures

I took at Southern Bloggers Conference!

But WOW, I have a lot to clean up around

my blog!

Off to the shop today to meet up with

all the wonderful ladies I met! I just know they will love

SuzAnna's Antiques as much as everyone else does!!

And we are all going to be dressed up cute for the day!!

Vintage, Cowgirl Chic or Retro!!

I can't wait!!



Excited!!

I am so excited! I am packing stuff right now!

 

With all the junk I have been dealing with over

the last few weeks,

 when I heard about

this I said "WHY NOT??"

 

The Southern Bloggers Conference!!

I really don't do too much for myself but this sounded like so

much fun! Plus it is right here in Raleigh!!

www.southernbloggersconferenceblog.com

You can click on this link to read more about it

and even get tickets if you want!
I was on a twitter party for it last night and there are

ladies coming from as far away as California and Utah!

Since it is in Raleigh, I am not staying at the hotel

And having a slumber party like some of the ladies

even though I have been invited to share a fold out couch in

some of the rooms!

Best of all, on Sunday all the ladies are

going out shopping around to antique shops in

Raleigh and my little old shop I share with my

mommy is on the shopping trip!

WOOHOO!

Maybe my luck is finally changing for the better! YAY!



Get Well Wishes

Please send healing thoughts and get well wishes to my

good friend Mary at

 

A Breath Of Fresh Air

She has been hit with an unusual and painful illness and needs all

our good thoughts right now!

Thanks!

Fall Fun!!

I am loving Pinterest!

 

 

 

I think I am loving Pinterest toooooo much

and have been "forgetting" about my blog!

taken after a wicked storm at our house is August!

 So here is a quick run down of what I

have been up too!

Still going back and forth to

Virginia to help my great Uncle.

He does not really know me

anymore due to the dementia

but he is still such a happy person that we have fun

visiting. We finally sold his co-op!
After 18 months on the market which I know in this

market is not too bad,

 but man, am I glad that's over with!
Kyle started back to school and is actually already

on Fall Break.

I LOVE year round schools!

I had Jimmy V in August and that was so much fun

as always! 19 years and counting!

And I got to meet Scotty McCreery, so that was a treat!

Kyle's school had their annual Family Fun Frolic Fundraiser.

We ended up raising over $20,000.00 for his school!
Woohoo!

When you think about the fact that there

 are only 500 kids in his school, that's pretty good!

Other than that I have just been working up a storm

at the shop! It has been sooooo busy, which is a great problem to have!

If you don't know about my shop, head over to

SuzAnna's Antiques Blog to see whats going on over there!

Wedding!

Our great friend Al got married this last weekend!

He introduced Jason and I almost 20 years ago,

so it has been so

wonderful getting to know Shannon,

the woman he has fallen in love with!

Jason was in the wedding and looked so good in his tux!

Since Jason and Al always joke that they are

"brothers from another mother"

we had to get this picture of the mom's and boys!

Then, since my phone was in hand, we got this grainy

shot of the three of us on my phone! I forgot to turn on the

flash!!

Then the dancing started!! And oh wow!!

Kyle was getting down!! hehehe!

We had so much fun and wish Al and Shannon the best!!
