Etsy treasuries are really fun to make at Christmas time! Tartan plaid is a real favorite of mine. I am drawn to it. So, I decided to see what different items I could find on Etsy.com made with tartan. One item I really love is the pink tartan plaid bench! Check it out...

We experienced our first "corn maze" today for Jolie's birthday. Being in Texas, this is a little different from up north. This maze was made of "hay grazer." We were told this holds up much better to the Texas heat and drought. The location was the South Texas Maize in Hondo, Texas. http://www.southtexasmaize.com Below this post is a Smilebox creation celebrating the day. If it looks funny that we are wearing shorts in October well, all I can say is That's Texas!

What is the saying?  Imitation is the best form of flattery?  Well, our Indian Corn Garland provided inspiration for Mary from the Blog   http://putaruffleonit.blogspot.com/ to create a similar corn garland but on a much grander scale for her Fall Wine Tasting Extravaganza.  Check out her blog to see the garland and for more great ideas! 

Thanks, Mary!

June is the month for Weddings!

Why is June such a popular month for weddings?

One reason is it is named after Juno, the ancient Roman goddess of marriage.  Many Romans chose to celebrate their wedding in June to honor the goddess as she was thought to bring prosperity and happiness to all who married in her month.

Also, if married in June and a baby conceived at the time of marriage, it would not be born until after the harvest.

June also marks the end of Lent and the arrival of warmer weather.

Some say it is due to a greater and more affordable assortment of flowers available during the colorful summer month.

Here are a few of our pieces that would be ideal for this June wedding season:
