spring event

Peony explosion-

Warning....tons of peony pictures coming ....they come and go so fast I have to share. {they will be gone by Saturday  :(  so I wanted to make sure you see them here.}

They are larger than a dinner plate and the smell ....heaven.

-In the Kitchen-

-In the guest bathroom-

In the Guest bedroom-

My goal is to plant several more plants ....  the day they are in full bloom; pick a bucket full and go door to door to spreading peony love to all my friends.

They are a shorted lived flowers but the memory of these flowers lasts long past the life of the flower.

The Spring Event is Saturday April 28, Starting at 10am....make sure to check the links above for driving directions and other useful information. 

Thanks for all your prayers- Looks like The Spring Event will have fabulous weather as of today- it is predicted to be mostly sunny and a pleasant 77.

 

A Week to go- last work day.

We've unloaded our trucks, painted, sewn up a storm, gathered, cooked, cleaned, ordered, tasted, prayed...no rain please and just plain had fun getting ready for the Spring Event.

My garage is full,the shed is full and  the jars are stacked knee deep....not much left to do...ha, ha =)

We have questioned-

1. How do you store 200 centerpieces?
2. Where do you store 200 gifts? {quiet please that's a surprise}
3. Will it rain?  Please no 
4. How many feet in 28 tables?
5. Will my flowers still be blooming? 

Etc. etc.

The wisteria  and lilac are blooming- hope they are still in bloom when you come.

And the peonies are just starting....oh please hang on until April 28th

Ruth was also working on her items for the Spring Event-

She will be selling  Awesome aprons and Tea towels-

My thought.... if you want one...head straight to her area, she has a limited number and I know they will go fast.

Yes, we are just plain having fun.....

Even the Turkeys are having a blast.

Happy Day- One week to go.

 Note- I just checked accuweather and they are forecasting showers for that day....What...really?

  Lets work together and pray for a nice rain free day.

Heidi and her Mom Flo (along with Heidi's sisters}, will be baking away at the Spring Event.  Last Spring Event Heidi baked all by herself....I felt so bad for her working away.

They will be presented to you for take home in a Very cute little pink box.

Continental Calliope- at the Spring Event.

We are so happy to have Deborah & Bryce joining us this year.  They have been a part of past Spring Events and they were so awesome! 

They showcase their talents everyday at The Vintage Market   under the name Continental Calliope.

I first saw their talents when they sold their treasures out of an old barn next to their home called "Good Things" full of vintage and primitive items. Deborah and Bryce have a very European countryside cottage style.  They are planning to share some of their garden treasures with us at the Spring Event.

Can't wait to see what they bring this year....you might want to drive your trucks to the Spring Event  =)

Happy Day!
