Speaking Volumes Louder ~ Weekend Smudge ~Good Morning Beautiful day

As always, on Thursday Evenings I teach an art class at my Tea Shoppe.  When I came home later that night, Jimi surprised me with a beautiful and fragrant yellow rose. On the tips of the petals,  are touches of Red.
This Rose symbolizes our Friendship that we share and our Love and Passion for each other as well.  He did not speak that symbolism to me but I know it is what he intended when he decided to gift me that particular Rose.  Although I do love getting a bouquet, sometimes a single rose speaks volumes louder that an entire bouquet!  In this case this particular rose did speak volumes louder.  Jimi and I celebrate our Wedding Anniversary on Valentine's Day and I could not be happier!

The house was quite on Friday morning before our work day began and so I took the time to do a weekend smudging ritual that I thought I would share with you.  I hope this short video helps to put you at ease and allows positivity to come your way.


Much Love,

A Day In The Life...A Limo, A Dinner and two Birthday's

Last week, my youngest daughter Nikki, turned 16 and my oldest, Kelly is turning 23 this week. In honor of their birthday's Jimi and I planned a dinner for them at Ichiban. Summer, my grand baby was with us. It was her first experience at this type of restaurant. Jimi surprised all of us girls with a limo ride to and from the restaurant and we all had a fantastic time!!! Of course, I filmed a video of the evening.



In addition, I wanted to share a few pictures of my lovely Birthday Girls.



Have a beautiful week!!!

Much Love,

Weekend Getaway

This weekend Jimi and I had dinner with friends on Friday and on Saturday, we spent the night at The Marriott. It was a Suite getaway I would say!!!! Literally, we stayed in a lovely suite....it was truly romantic!!! We had a great time. It is so nice to sneek away with the Hubby...those quiet times we share are really special and oh so magical.

I hope your weekend was special too.

Lovely Weekend Surprise.

This past weekend, our Band had a night off due to Our Lead Guitarist's scheduled surgery. So with a free day and evening to spend, Jimi and I took a little trip to Columbiana Ohio and stayed overnight. We had a Gift Certificate to use for The Dutch Village Inn. You can visit the website here: http://www.dasdutchvillage.com. Our room had a sitting area and a fireplace. We had the fire going all night and into the morning, it was so romantic and sweet.
It was one of the most relaxing get away's that we have had since our vacation in July. On the property, there are a few quaint little shops and a restaurant. We had a lovely dinner and Jimi bought me a charm for my charm bracelet at the jewelry shop. My bracelet is of the vintage type where the charms dangle from the links on the bracelet. The charm we picked this time, is a filigree heart that to me resembles the style of the Pennsylvania Dutch font. I love my new charm! Just so you know, I have been collecting charms for a very long time. Each time that we go somewhere special, we try to find a charm that commemorates the event or place we are at. I still have room to add on my bracelet, but it will soon be filled and at that time, I will then start one of those Pandora or "Pandora like" charm bracelets. I want to take a picture of my bracelet so you can see my collection of charms. That will have to be in an upcoming post. Hmmmm....it will be soon. I'll have pictures to post of this trip soon too.

Last time, I told you that I had found a couple of dresses at the Thrift Shoppe. I have a few pictures to share of one of the dresses now.

The other, I will share this week. I plan to wear it tomorrow. Please check back soon...I will try to have all the pictures promised.

Hope you too had a lovely weekend!
Much Love,
