RIBBON CUTTING @ AUNT ELSIE'S

I've shared with you the sweet story of how Aunt Elsie's Trinket's and Treasure's was born. Their located at the very south end of West Jordan on Redwood Road. I had the opportunity of being at the Ribbon Cutting with Denise, the Mayor and the Chamber of Commerce yesterday. Everybody was excited to have Denise and Aunt Elsie's in the community. I couldn't help but take pictures. I hope you'll visit the shop and say Hello to Denise, her arms are open wide.

THE HOLIDAYS ARE UPON US

OK, the Holidays begin today. I'm taking Halloween down and carefully storing it, because I look forward to adding to it finally. I will be putting fall and Thanksgiving up. I thought This picture with Owey and his turkey leg was so cute, I'd begin with it.

OH, I am also ordering my "Christmas with Southern Living 2009" book. This will be my 12th year. I love everything Southern.

I have been buying Richard Paul Evans books for several years also. It's time to go get his new one. I like to read all of them again up until Christmas.

I will be visiting you to enjoy your Christmas preparations too.

LET'S SEE - WHAT SHALL I MAKE NOW

I spent the morning with my mother today. One of the places we went was called, "Nuttels", a sewing and fabric store. While mom looked for crochet thread and needles, I looked for fabric. I found this cool black and cream and I thought, where have I seen this. I remembered that my mother had made me a dress out of it when I was young. I remembered that it was my favorite dress. I kept looking and I found a tiny corduroy fabric in cream and one in black. I picked up a big rick rack in cream as I was remembering my cool black buttons at home.

Mimi Sue and I have been having so much fun this Halloween Season and seeings how tomorrow is Halloween and I did promise Shellie that I would look for a CROW.

DA DA, I found one. I completely forgot about Graphics Fairy. She is the sweetest fairy I know, she is so cute to let me use her backgrounds - FOR FREE!

HAVE A HAPPY HALLOWEEN AND PLEASE BE CAREFUL.

WHITE WEDNESDAY @ STITCHES

WOW! IT'S COLD OUTSIDE. It's a great day to just stay in and work in my sewing room.
I couldn't do it though, not until I made a run to Tiepan.

I thought I'd show you some of my sweet finds this week and a little of what I've acomplished.

There are a couple of my blogging friends that love to work with these glass dome things. I'm sorry I can't remember what their called. I think that they are just such a perfect peace of beauty. For Christmas this year I want to do allot with glass, so, what better way to decorated my mantal and bar and table then with these dome things and apothacary jars in all sizes. I bought some of "Just a Bed of Roses" vintage rose ribbon, in a luchious brown and french blue. I made a tiny pillow with a carmal ribbon to go under the dome.

I was visiting Tuesday Morning and I found a box of these fun white buttons, their so unique. I also saw these black buttons. I couldn't control myself, I had to have them.

And look at these adorable salt and peper shakers from Just a bed of Roses. Brenda had them hiding behind her at the counter. I want to find some German Glass Crystel to put in them.

I found this fun dresser bowl at Aunt Elsies and I don't think I showed you. It hold's the thread's that I use most.

And of course, this white cup with black initials on it. It's "C" for Cindy.

I really enjoy preparing for White Wednesday and I also enjoy visiting all of the blogs over at Faded Charm, and leaving little comments. Everyone is so talented. Go over and check them out.

AUNT ELSIE

I met a couple of pretty mad people while I was out and about last week. They knew that I had gone to a halloween party and I didn't invite them. They tried to cut off my ears. I moved very quickly and they just got the end of my nose. Shellie, does your butler do plastic sergery? I managed to tape the tip of my nose back on with some tuck tape.

It didn't stop me from visiting Aunt Elsie's Trinkets and Treasures in West Jordan. She's so cute, she didn't care if my nose was duck taped on.

The owner, shared with me and another shopper - a story - a story that became the beginning of Aunt Elsie's.

Years ago, she lived by an older couple that she quickly became friends with. The Elderly women had to go to the nursing home and that left her husband all alone. No children, no family members at all. Her little family steped up their love and kindness. They made a lonely man part of their family. Soon the sweet wife died, that was a very sad day for my new friend and the man that they were beginning to love. The years passed and they weren't kind to the old man. His heart was borken and he missed Elsie so. One day he too left this world - for a better one. In doing so, he had left his home and all of the treasures within it, to a very kind family who had shown him love and kindness untill his very end. He left everything - the house - everything. Thus, is the beginning of Aunt Elsie's Trinkets and Treasures.

As we listened, boxes and boxes were opened that were full of vintage jewles and pearles. It will be so fun to visit the shop and see all these special treasures. I'm sure I'll buy a few. Come out and visit the shoppe, and meet a very special gal.
I've gotta go, my nose is starting to drip blood - I guess I'll go get it fixed.
