EIGHT DAYS LEFT plus an Announcement

Hello Everyone,

Just a reminder that we are going out of business and will be open only eight more days! Starting next Tuesday, July 1st, we will be open straight through to the 9th

with the exception of July 4th.

Our dealers are also continuing to discount their merchandise and

things are really going out the door right now at great prices so don't miss out!!

Now, for the announcement. I have been wanting to do something with my nature photos that I've placed on the blog so, I have created "bloomies,etc.". "bloomies,etc." is the company name for products produced from the photos. So far, I've only had time to make a few gift bags, gift tags, note cards, blow-up a picture for framing (which sold at the Auburn Alumni meeting this week) and create a blog. I have other projects in the process so stay tuned. We have a booth at Weekend Treasures in Griffin and I plan to put my products there.

Here is the blog link.

Check it out and please let me know your ideas and what you think.

I need all the ideas, thoughts and comments I can get!

You know, you can't really beat a blue hydrangea for Southern beauty. This pretty blossom is from our house. The plant is putting out more and more flowers while our two other plants are just sitting there. I guess it just isn't their year to bloom. Maybe next year?

Take care and hope to see you before the 9th!

OK, I'm guilty. While Charlie and I were walking in our driveway the other day, we saw this turtle digging a hole for her eggs. I thought she had the hole dug and was laying the eggs so I started taking pictures knowing she wouldn't leave until finished. After a few pictures, I continued walking and when we next walked by, she was gone with the hole halfway dug. I felt terrible! I guess she figured we were a risk to her babies. Little did she know that Charlie planned to stake off her area so we wouldn't run over the nest.

I hope she found another spot soon and I hope I get another chance to see a turtle lay her eggs. It is one of the things on my life's 'To Do' list. I'd love to see a sea turtle but you know, a simple box turtle in the yard would be just fine. What is on your list? Making any headway with it? The older I get, the more I seem to appreciate the little things and am in constant awe at what nature has to offer just in our yard.

We are continuing our Going Out of Business Sale. Everything, except for a few items, is 30% off. Merchandise is leaving the building so make sure you stop by to pick up things you've had your eye on before it is gone. Below are pictures of items still available. Our dealers all have discounts on their items as well.
