Surprised to see my Cans were used in Rachelle Friedman's Wedding

You will see the Containers (the Honey label) here if you Pause the video at 1:56 into the video and then again at 3:50 on the video you will see Five more of my Containers with flowers on the Fireplace Mantel of this Magical Wedding...

Just Discovered that my Cans used as floral display containers, were used at North Carolin's Fearington Village
by Fearington Flowers floral designers where Rachelle Friedman's Wedding was held.  

This was the poor gal that became paralyzed after a terrible accident at her bacholerette party , but had such a Positive attitude through it all.  She was gifted a beautiful wedding by 
1800 Registry.com that took place in a beautiful and magical setting of Fearington's Barn 

Wow! I am so surprised and happy I became part of such a

Positive and Inspiring News Story...

and Very fitting, seeing that Today, August 15th, is my

24th Wedding Anniversary 

I am Inspired and Touched by they're

Love and Compassion

Bless them Both!

My Little LENA ~ A Face Only A Mother Could Love!

Since there was not so much going on with my Little Trailer...I decided to show my Other Little Sweetie..., My Little Lena, a Yorkie-Chi , or as they used to be called when I was a Child, :) A Mut 'D

She Is Like Having A Child, and is the reason why Artists have Cats! She demands A LOT or should I say ALL my Attention, if I do not show her Quality time throughout our day, I feel terribly guilty! That Quality time would consist of several walks...hopefully at a nearby Park, playing catch with one several of her toys...and hand feeding her, because she does not really like eating from a dish. She only eats her Mommas' Homemade Dog food, which is made from fresh Chicken with carrots peas or Beef, because she is gluten and yeast intolerant, she begins itching her Eye or Ears constantly if she is given , anything made from flour. And, Of Course, I Love Her To Pieces! I get back so much from her, she Loves me Unconditionally, and She Inspires me creatively as well, I have painted her portrait, and even a Crocheted Toy I made in her likeness, down to the Itchy Black Swollen Eye :) and dressed in a Vintage Han-kerchief Dress and Broach. Perhaps , only a face a Mother could love, and Ohhhh, How I Love Her So!

And Of course, I Can not Forget About Her Older Brother LOUIE, He is A Amazon Yorkie at a wopping 13 lbs...he's not Fat Just A Tall , Strong Big Boy! I Love Him So!!! he has a Beautiful Face, and gives me a Real Smile at me when I come home.
When he was a puppy, I had left him home alone for the first time, and when I opened the door front door to come into the house, he was jumping up and down, and showing his teeth, I was frightened right away, I said to my husband, there's something wrong with Louie, he's foaming at the mouth....well we were careful to go into the house, and we figured out later, that all he was doing was smiling at us as we returned home

And, Oh...Louie Also prefers Momma's Homemade Dog food...He doesn't Itch Anywhere, but, Lets Just Say...he doesn't Digest canned food Very Well :C YUK!
