Halloween at Garden Memories

Happy Tuesday, and Trick or Treat. At least at Garden Memories. www.gardenmemoriesgifts.com I have been extra busy making Halloween items for Garden Memories, my favorite little shop in Ventura!! The lovely and talented Barbara has a way with setting up the displays.

We have already sold several things I am replacing, so I am hard at work with the glitter this week. I guess people are in the spirit!!


Not sure if you can read the sign, but I call Barbara my promoter/manager. Well I just wanted to stop in and say hello, before I get back to some spooky fun!

Have a wonderful day!

Love,

Rosemary

200TH Post Giveaway!!!

Hi all!!
Happy Monday!!

My daughter had her house warming party on Saturday, and I didn't bring my camera. Too many other things going on I guess. The party was a big success, and everyone had a great time.
The house looked beautiful, and there was an abundance of food and drink!! The weather was perfect too!! My daughter, and son in law did a great job!

Now for the latest. It is my 200Th post giveaway. Who knew I had so much to say.

Actually to get technical this is post 201, but who's counting?

This is what I decided to do. I am going to make up a kit for one of these Ooh La La Paris cones.
You will receive all of the components necessary to make one, as well as the instructions.
I promise you can do it. You will have fun too!! You will get the printed papers, crepe papers, button, ribbon, and even the filler.

All you need to do is leave a comment on this post.

If you do not have a blog, please leave me your email address.
The winner will be chosen on Sunday August 24Th.

So please leave a comment, and good luck!

Thanks for being loyal blog friends, and leaving such great comments. Have a wonderful week!!

Love,

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Halloween!!

Hello All!!
By now you all know how much I love Halloween!! You have seen my new Halloween pieces I have been working on.
One day a few weeks ago, I was looking for something for Halloween, and I happened upon this amazing blog. It's called Skull Blossom http://skullblossom.blogspot.com/ I found someone that loves Halloween as much as I do.

Everyday until Oct 31, she has a new Halloween graphic for you to use. I put a few samples here for you to see. There are so many cute ones, you will love them.

You need to hop on your brooms and fly on over to Skull Blossom's blog!!!

They get better everyday!! She is just like the Graphics Fairy, only with a Halloween twist.

Enjoy!!

A Royal Display!!

Hello All!!

Here is a pretty display I have in my office. I guess it's my inspiration for all the crowns I make.
All of the tiaras came from various flea markets!!

The Cinderella coach came from Lidy, at http://littlefrenchgardenhouse.blogspot.com/
Lidy has a wonderful blog, and a wonderful shop, full of pretty things.
Visit her when you can, you will be happy that you did.
This glass slipper is a new find, from a garage sale. I paid a whole $1 for it. The Crowns & Tiaras book is a fun one, if you have not seen it. I guess I like Cinderella, wouldn't you say?


I hope you all have a royal day!!

Love,
Rosemary

Hope you all have a great, and sparkling day!
