Happy Halloween

The night of tricks and treats will soon be upon us...

What are you going to be this year?

Joshua, Renoir and I are headed out of town early Thursday morning and will be making our way down to Virginia to enjoy the weekend with his parents. Joshua will be helping his dad build a garage, while I will be busy trying to keep Renoir out of trouble at their house ;) {don't be fooled...he looks like a little angel...but he can get into mischief in the blink of an eye}

Renoir has a little costume that we will be dressing him up in...and I will be sure to share photos when we return {at some point that is - I have a growing list of posts that I have wanted to write...still balancing...see the previous post for details on that ;)}

The shop will be closed while we are away and will reopen on Monday, November 2nd.

Till then...I will leave with you these happy pumpkins I spotted on an outing a few weeks back...

And...be sure to check out the current 'Vignette of the Moment' over at Romantic Vignettes...it will surely get you inspired for Halloween!

Wishing you all a very safe and Happy Halloween!

Till next time...

 

Balancing Act...

Life is certainly one big balancing act...and one that I more often find...I have a hard time balancing. 

Laundry gets piled up, dishes fill the sink, orders need to be shipped out, the dining room table is no where in sight, the tub needs scrubbing, the floors need mopping, the dog needs walking, dinner needs cooking, bills need paying, a friend pops over who needs encouragement, emails sit waiting to be replied to...and on and on and on...

So...for those of you wondering where I have been ;) I am just popping in to let you know that I'm still here...just working on this balancing thing...and when I find myself there...blogging is typically the first thing to fall off...my apologies to my faithful readers for that. 

Josh and I celebrated our anniversary on the 1st and had a wonderful day...{and I did take a few pics and have a story for you...to share when the "balancing gets balanced" shall we say} 

I have also been very busy preparing an engagement party for my sister this coming Saturday...which has taken up most of my time...I really want to make is special for her and her fiance...so I will be away for just a little bit longer...

Just wanted to let you know, in case you might be wondering ;)

I hope that all of you are blessed and encouraged this week...

Till next time...

 
{oh and...do you like my new white teacups? I got them for 25 cents each at a thrift store last week. I love them!}
