Fabulous TuTu



Shopgirl purchased this fab TuTu for her granddaughter, Jolene, during the last "MOM" (Memorial Outdoor Market).

I ordered a custom one for me and it turns out someone else did too! She's wearing hers to a Lady GaGa concert!

Anyway, I know it will come in handy for years...

BTW, Jolenes TuTu came with a head wreath of the most splendid flowers and a crown and a magic wand! The whole transaction had shopgirls heart a poundin'!

You wouldn't expect to find such a splendid treasure at a hospital outdoor market, not to mention; what hospital offers this to their staff and visitors???

Check out the next MOM on 8/13. 10am to 2pm (cafe courtyard).
Don't ya think that little 5 yr. old is cute?

After a long hot day deciding where the windows will go I may have to get the screw cap off of this bottle. Our marriage is still solid though!

garden shed/coop


Well, here is Stephen in the garden shed/coop! He really needs to pick up the pace coz those chickens keep escaping from their "big girl garden". Now that they've had a taste of freedom and might I add a few of my plants; well, it's just going to be harder and harder...

Memorial Hospital Gift Shop & MOM


MORE BLINGY AND BEADED SANDALS

Shopgirl loves to set the mood and atmosphere when she entertains. I sometimes just want to entertain myself though, also. I like my "sanctuary" to feel goooood. Depending on the mood that can mean alot of things...


But, for guests; I like to set the "stage" so company feels special and leave with an experience of warmth and friendship.


Here's the Gift Shop at Memorials' contemporay faux grass mat with a big RELAX. This reminds me to slow down! But no! I want to show it off! AND my new Flip Flops too! (Every summer we order 100's of these!) So, I plan a small get together. I have to admit that sometimes it never makes it pass the planning stage. But all is well. Eventually my decor will have it's debut!


Next Friday, July 16th; Memorial Hospital will feature their MOM in the cafe courtyard. MOM stands for "memorial outdoor market". It's our very own Farmers Market and Craft show.


It's a great and fabulous way to take a breather from work, eat some great food and look at the wares. (Can you believe a hopital does this for staff, volunteers and visitors?)


The Gift shop is going to feature new designs in flip flops! Imagine swimming in piles of brand spanking new Flips! That will be me, Shopgirl!


You will not want to miss this opportunity for a little R&R and shopping! 10:00am to 2:00pm.

Memorial Outdoor Market



A Howdy from SHOPGIRL!


Well, another Friday is approaching where Memorial Hospital features it's very own Farmers Market! We call it "MOM" Memorial Outdoor Market. July 16th from 10am to 2pm in our beautiful cafe courtyard. Crafts, produce, plants, & good things to eat from our very own cafe.


If you have something you would like to sell; pick up an application from the Gift Shop or volunteer services. A table is only $25.00, the $ you make you KEEP! How many hospitals have such a thoughtful treat for their employees, shopgirl ponders....(she ponders a lot!)


See you there! Summer is here and nothing shouts it better than a fun Farmers Market!

News from the coop and shopgirl!


A rather large black cat got in the coop last night and disturbed my girls! Betsy really had the run in and the whole episode created a dust devil which spiraled up as the cat jumped out. It was rather surreal and Betsy told me all about it and clucked like it was going out of style. I reassured her that she was fine.

Always drama here in Eden. I'm practicing keeping the hysteria out of my voice when I call Stephen for assitance.
