Wedding...Getting Ready

Okay... now let's all get ready for the BIG day!!!! Time has come to put on the clothes that we had spent so much time picking out. Oh my...I sure hope we don't have any hic-ups...like a broken zipper...a ripped seam...or even worse...an awful stain... front and center on Haley's beautiful dress...now that would had sent this MOB into a crying fool!! Thank goodness...none of these happened and all went just perfect...oh happy day! Time flew by as we were getting ready...I felt like it all happened soooo FAST! People had told me that the day would go by so fast and I can say...they were so right. My favorite part of this time period was when we all circled around Haley and had prayer for her. As we held hands...everyone said a prayer for her...this idea came from her SWEET GODLY sister Mary Claire. I can't begin to tell you how proud I am of my daughters...they have both turned out to be strong godly young women. We had not told our photographers that we would be doing this and we got started she was not in the room...as we were praying she came in and right away started capturing this very special moment of the day. I will say...I'm so glad that we got all of it in photos. Thank you for coming by and now let's see a wee bit of our day.
                            Your friend,
                                 Linda 


              As the MOB...I knew that this was
             perfect dress when I first saw her in
                                   it!!!!!
                                    







                       Oh soooo many buttons!!!


                           















                       
                                  




                Love all that beautiful lace!!!

                          You just never knew when the photographer was getting
                                    a pic...I was very surprised to see this one!


             


             Of all the thousands of pictures that we have...this one is in
                                    my favorite top 5!!!!


                 A time that I will never forget.


                         Oh yes...it brought tears to this BRIDE!!!




                            Relaxing after a delicious brunch!



          Her something old was her grandmothers
               hanky...her grandmother that she
            never knew. My MIL died six weeks
               after my wedding. I have always
               tried to surround my girls around
                  some of her beautiful things
                  and she had plenty of them.

Fall Is Not Over Yet

I know we are all thinking about getting ready to pull out our Christmas decor, but ladies let's don't forget about Thanksgiving and all the beauty of this wonderful season and holiday. We all have so much to be thankful for and need to be sure to not let this day go by without being celebrated. I was so surprise to see that one of my neighbors have the outside of their home all deck out in Christmas decor...really?...it's only November 10. I could understand starting decorating inside your homes, but outside is just way too much for this gal...what about you? Today I thought I would change out my centerpiece for my farmhouse table with some items that I have purchased from a few of our Fall trips. So come on and let's see what I came up with!
                                        Happy to have you here,
                                                      Linda

                             When I spotted this vintage basket at the
                              Screen Porch (located in Asheville), I
                               knew right away that I had to have it!

                                                A mix of this and that!!

                                          Oh yes...I now own two demijohns!!!

                                         Bring in some freebies from outside!

                                     I was happy to find this lady at the
                                       flea market that was selling this
                                     beautiful gords right out of her car!

                                                 BIG BOY!!!

                                  I can see that this basket will do
                                 a lot of moving around here at my
                                                   nest!!!!

                                     If you want to know how much I paid
                                    for my basket and all the goodies inside
                                   her, then be sure to come back on Monday
                                  and join me at NIFTY THRIFTY TUESDAY
                                              and I will share with you
                                                  how much I spent!!
