Raising the Bar


                                 Shhhhhhh....This is a surprise post for my St. Louis kids.


Their Anniversary is coming up later this Spring
and I love to surprise them with something vintage.



They are big fans of the local breweries of St. Louis.
If you've never been, then it's the home of Anheuser Busch
Schlafly, and tons of other smaller companies,
with lot's of great little urban pubs.



So when we found this Farberware Bar Set I knew they'd love it.


I've checked the Internet and can't find any information
so I'm not sure how old it is, but the wicker covers just knocked me out!



On second thought, they may need to arm wrestle me for that  thermos.








Here's a photo from our trip last fall.

Incredible house...


Their "Restoration Hardware-ish" Dining Room








Happy Early Anniversary, kiddos!



see you two at Easter!
(xoxoxox, mom)

Aren't they cute?
I don't look old enough to have them as kids.
yeah, right...

...just gotta brag


There's no way that my photos
can do her photos justice,
but I just have to brag on my bestie Anne.




She's gone and done it!


with help from some "fabulous"  and talented friends.


I'm one of the lucky ones that get Romantic Country Magazine thru subscription,
so I have mine even before Miss Fiona and Twig!




Six yummy pages of wonderful photos
taken at the home and Bed and Breakfast of Linda and Ludmil Markov


Anne is a woman of many talents;
her strengths lie in her determination, goal-making, and strong faith.
Miles may be between us,
but we have a connection that speaks not of the distance,
but of the heart.



I'm proud that one of her dreams has come true.
May it only be the beginning.










Look for Romantic Country to be on display next week.
te he,
lucky me...
