Deja Vu All Over Again!

Do any of y'all remember THIS? Well, guess what? Lightening does strike twice, just not on the same side!If you look very carefully, you will see a stick poking out the side of the tire. I'm not funning you...a stick punctured a tire! Just as we were turning into the pasture at Carolyn's, everyone heard a hissing sound and it was us. Seems Cat Daddy got a little over into the ditch and that's when the rubber hit the wood! Carolyn and Joe felt so bad about it, but heck...that's why it's called an accident. It's not like Carolyn had one of the kids poised and ready to stab our tire on command!

We looked just like we did when we came back from Warrenton complete with come-a-long to keep the springs from rubbing! We stopped in Ennis on the way back and got fixed up lickety split, but at this rate, we expect to have new tires all the way around by the time we go to Warrenton for the fall show!

For those of you who didn't get to come out, you were missed! For the record, the score is now Weather-1; Weatherman-0! It did not rain and wasn't quite as cool as promised. We didn't have a 100+ day, but it was a teensy bit warm around 2:00 in the afternoon. Still in all, it was a beautiful day.

We had a great crowd lined up and waiting to come in! Carolyn's children were the "Staff" and did an excellent job of crowd control! Carolyn's family is just the best. They all give 100% support in all her ventures and adventures! Can I get a hip hip hooray for all of them? While I am at it, I would also like to say a special thank you to Carolyn's mother, Charlotte. What a lovely lady! Carolyn credits her with being her inspiration and it's no wonder why. She brought us out iced tea with lemon while we were in the process of setting up. If you're thinking "what's the big deal?", she brought it out in the prettiest glass container with the lemon and fresh mint leaves floating in it! This sweet lady should give lessons in the lost art of graciousness!

We made a huge mistake in giving Cat Daddy the camera to take photos. All he wanted to capture were the ladies! Literally!!! I'm hoping someone else got photographs, 'cause folks, these are it for me!

C. W. herself smiling from start to finish! Carolyn, thanks so much for including me...I had a wonderful time in spite of my new bathtub ring!

Just a little taste of her linens. Someone needed to tell C.D. to focus, focus, focus! David, are you up for a basic photography lesson? I shouldn't fuss too much though. After all, we all know Cat Daddy's talents lie elsewhere! I just wish I had a photo of the bed swing Carolyn made and had hanging from these huge oak trees! It was simply 2die4!

There is just nothing better than an outdoor venue for a summer show. Everything looks so fresh and crisp against a back drop of green grass and blue skies!

I loved this French campaign bed! Isn't the mattress....wait for it....Fab U Lous! Of course it sold, but I really lusted after it. I'm sorry I don't have any photos of the inside of the little house or the cabin. Take all complaints to the manager (psst, that would be Cat Daddy!).

In the interest of fair play, girls, he didn't take any of our space either. Here's the chairs again. I forgot to tell y'all earlier, these are covered in pleather! Not something as ordinary as brocade, no siree bob! C. D. and I believe in only the finest of materials for our merchandise! Wouldn't they be killer painted white? Just think, if you wanted to, you could paint the material as well!

A huge aquarium I took out of my dining area. I bought this a few years ago from Maggie and while I still love it, I am planning on going a different way in that room. What way I still don't know, but when I decide I'll be ready. C.D. is starting to get worried we'll be sitting on plastic tubs before too long and we just might! But once again, I digress...maybe I'm the one who needs to learn to focus!

This header was one of my favorite things and of course it sold right away. In fact, most of what was in this grouping at the beginning was gone at the end!

Kiddies, there is no rhyme or reason to these photos. He just pointed and clicked! It was great getting to see so many of you and I'm sorry I don't have any blackmail photos to use against you, I mean lovely photos of new and old friends!

If you can see anything that interests you, just drop me an e-mail and I'll let you know whether or not it sold.

I'll close now with a fun piece that Lillie just brought into Winnie & Tulula's. You really can't tell, but this Foghorn Leghorn is huge! Talk about a statement piece! This is what I call a real rooster in a henhouse! Oh and before I forget, I'll be letting y'all know more about the upcoming "shower" so stay tuned!
