Blueberries YUMMMMMMMM

2009-07-27T09:01:00.000-07:00

BLUEBERRY Love...yes count them 16 pints of blueberries for $6.08 yes $6.08 let me say that again...just kidding....our local Foodlion had a great deal with some great coupon match-ups so I didn't have to pick blueberries this year!

Now don't get me wrong I love to do the whole Pioneer woman thing and go out and get food for my family but last years experience was me picking a whole bucket of berries and bees swarming my head and me dumping the whole bucket on the ground, then me on ground picking up blueberries when I should be picking them off of the bushes!! So with that said I am happy to stock my new freezer with these beauties!

If you are local to Richmond, VA and do want to pick your own blueberries here is a wonderful place "Swift Creek Berry Farm"

This Is So Going In My Sewing Room!

2009-03-06T06:31:00.001-08:00

I am so addicted to Etsy for those of you who have never been there you have to stop by. They truly have something for everyone!!! I found this post surfing another blog and I do apologize for I can't remember where I had read about it.
Pillboxdesigns created this ADORABLE Vintage Dress Form Vinyl Wall Art. I am so into the Vinyl Wall art with all the neat sayings and scriptures. Just waiting for my dear husband to finish our house so I can paint and decorated with Vinyl.
Here is a link to her website Pillboxdesigns and she also has an instructional video on how to apply the Vinyl Wall Art.
I think every sewing room in america needs one of these!!
