The Long and Skinny of it
I am happy to report, the necklace made it safely to New York. Ashley, the new owner of the necklace, will be going to graduate school in New York City. I can't imagine! She now has a piece of Tallahassee with her and I can't wait to visit her:)

While I work on new necklaces with my new beads, enjoy this pretty shot of a nice bedroom. However, I want to fix that one pillow on the bed....

Inspiration

Better Homes and Gardens Sample Paint Swatches

The Cabbage Patch
I like to take pictures or objects or color schemes and turn that inspiration into a necklace. This was from Better Homes and Gardens and it reminded me of my grandmother, THE governor's daughter. She loved spray roses and she called her little garden, the cabbage patch. It was very wee but very sweet. This necklace can be pruchased at That's Mine Mongramming.

Mama with the birthday girl


We had an alligator themed birthday party for our 2 year old little girl. I used the Lilly Pulitzer Later Gator napkins and found matching cups, plates, and napkins. The colors for the party were pinks, greens and aquas. I made several paper chains for the entry way, mantle and mirror above my buffet. We had lunch and alligator shaped pools outside for the Florida heat. Our lunch was chicken salad, pbj and ham sandwiches along with chips and guacamole, carrots and homemade dip,and fruit kabobs, which were a huge hit. The cake was an alligator shaped cake made out of famous chocolate wafers. I covered a piece of wood in a green houndstooth fabric and placed the gator on top. I switched my painting above the mantle for a gator I whipped up the night before. The chandelier over the dining room table was decorated with satin and grosgrain ribbon and ric rac and lace. I also used those same ribbons on the sconces in the living room and on the pendants above the kitchen island. I am very happy with the way things turned out and we had a really good time. It was a very sweet birthday party for a very sweet little girl.
