Fall In The Holler

Had a great fall weekend with Lynlee and Jimmy.

Friday's Flowers

I just keep deadheading and they just keep blooming!



I have been known to have November's roses from my garden on my Thanksgiving table with a little bit of Cedar for greens.



I bought spring bulbs to plant on Sunday. I love to see the colors from my windows.

It was a great season for Zinnias this year.

There is no blue like Morning Glory blue!

Connie Timmer Paintings

Alyce Hoban, who has the Treeline Gallery, brought this artist down to the shop.

Jackie the decorator, who works for Alyce, thought these paintings would look good in my shop.

I love them, not too serious and the colors are fresh.

Connie captures the simple beauty of the region.

These paintings are a welcomed addition to the shop. Thank you ladies for thinking of me!

Getting Ready For The High Point Market

I am getting ready for a new look at Anchor Cottage 2012.

I tear sheets out all summer to put together in my book of inspirations!

I snip, layer, glue and before I know it my new look is appearing before my eyes.

I can't remember where I tore all of these pictures from, so please forgive my lack of credits.

This book helps me keep my focus when at the High Point Market.

My new look is white, natural wood and primary colors.

Fresh and light, blue and white, cozy lakeside cottage is the look I'm aiming for.

Company Came A Calling

Meet Honey Parker. Honey is a rescue dog.

This gal is a rescue dog, also. Her name is Isabella Parker.

Cheryl and Nancy Parker are the rescue sisters!! I have seen the dogs come back to life in their nurturing hands.
