Good Sunday Morning....
Look how cute my newest little gnomes are. They are kinda small, but they fit perfectly at the end of the TV console.
I found this cute little stack of wooden books at Hobby Lobby... they are cute enough to sit on my small marble table beside my leopard chair.
I have ever so slightly started to decorate in the breakfast/kitchen area.
I have two (2) creative focuses going on right now, and when I'm working on one, I neglect the other.
Along with doctor's appointments and trying to decorate our home for Fall....I am working on WEDDING Flowers. Tori's wedding is November 7th which sounds like a good while away, but in reality, the wedding is just around the corner.
Have you all ever purchased any of the "Real Touch" Faux flowers? Let me tell you, they feel just like touching a Fresh flower. So soft and they are so pretty and real looking.
We are using several of them in Tori's wedding along with fresh flowers and greenery.
I just finished 3 large arrangements, the centerpiece that will sit on Tori and Connor's table at the reception and the flowers for the cross that they will stand in front of to repeat their vows. My spare bedroom is COVERED in flowers...(Sam actually thought they were Fresh flowers)
I have several more pieces to do plus the big piece for the mantle above the fireplace (at the venue)
Other news.......
We visited Sam's dad at the nursing home yesterday along with some other family members. To be 97 years old, our Poppie is doing great...
Just down the road from the Nursing home is a beautiful housing addition. My brother and sister-in-law purchased a new home in this addition and they moved in yesterday....Sam and I stopped by to see them after our visit with his dad. It is a Beautiful home.
It has an open concept and the ceilings are all high and several of the ceilings are planked and vaulted. Isn't it strange that as years pass, our homes become outdated? This one is very modern. I remember when Oak cabinets were so popular and everyone wanted them.. Now days, the modern look is about having painted cabinets with glass.
They were supposed to be downsizing when they sold their home a month ago... This house they purchased is a 4 bedroom home and the rooms are all large... 🤷♀️
I am super happy for them.
We still are having close to a 100 degree temps outside. 😳. I keep waiting for some cool breezes...
that's it for me today....
see y'all tomorrow...

Wow, to your being such a busy woman. Your creativity is amazing and I just know that all the flowers for the wedding will be spectacular. Having the faux flowers really helps your time constraints and everything going on with Sam. You definitely know that I continue to pray for both of you.
I have to admit that I have Gnome Envy !!!
Those 2 little Fall guys are precious. The wooden books are so perfect too.
(((hugs)))

I'm sure we will get to see the flower arrangements you're making for the wedding at some point, Shug. Is there no end to your talent and creativity? Prayers lifted for Sam, too. Blessings!
I know those flower arrangements will be beautiful and so special to Tori because Grandma did them!
The gnomes are so cute!
I hope you will share those beautiful flower arrangements. I know Tori is loving that you are making those.
Those gnomes are adorable. Yes, November is not that far off. I've not heard of those flowers but some of the ones I've seen in the store are very realistic looking
I'm so impressed by your creativity, Shug. Nope, I never heard of those faux flowers but I'm going to keep my eyes open.
My little kitchen is so behind the times! I still love it, warts and all (lol).
Using faux flowers means that you won't be scrambling at the last minute to put everything together.
Your fall decorations are so lovely!
You are going to be very busy, but things done with love mean so much to both parties.
I love your gnomes!! And you always make such gorgeous flower arrangements. I hope you show them to us. Yes, the wedding is right around the corner! Has your brother actually moved closer to you? That is so good! I love the new trend of homes being open...so you can cook and also look in the living room or dining room and see everything that is going on.
What a blessing for Tori that her grandmother is willing to do the flower arrangements! I am looking forward to seeing some of them, if you are able to share.
Praying for you and Sam... especially that's he gaining strength after his hospital stay.
Everything you do comes out well - whether you buy it or make it. I know the flower arrangements are going to be gorgeous. Where do you get the flowers? Nice you visited Sam's dad. The house they bought - was it smaller or bigger? Is Sam doing okay?
Aww! Those gnomes are very cute and the stack of books! What lovely additions to your home.
Good job with the wedding flowers!
The flower arrangements sound amazing! How lucky for Tori to have an expert floral designer taking charge!! I can't wait to see them. I'm glad Sam is home, you guys are always in my prayers...
Beautiful decor! Those gnomes are adorable!
Those are the cutest fall gnomes Shug. And I love that stack of books. I can't believe Sam's dad is 97, what a long life he is enjoying. I remember my sister used to have a lot of oak in her house - oak cabinets and oak furniture. It may be outdated, but it's pretty sturdy. Although I do like to update my furniture now and then, I still love to see that oak furniture in homes. I hope the temps get cooler for you soon, Shug.
I love those gnomes!
I don't know how you fit it all in! So much to do. I should put out my fall decor. Thanks for the motivation.
