This month at Flourish the windows are a little abstract....
Theme- "Summer Fun"-
(my thought process}- pull up a chair, find a way to cool off have a party.
Hence....the floating chair and water hose. =}
Better pictures coming later....plan to take a couple after the sun goes down.
Summer Fun!
Thanks Jessica for the help.
Tomorrow will be our first book club Gathering- Fun!
Book Club- July 18th at 7pm at Flourish.
Reading-
I decided to go with the Happy Day America theme for the July windows at Flourish. Neva Jean was so excited about it...because she got to dress up as Miss USA or Miss Flourish. {Hard choice.=)
Bree was so kind as to come and help me....she has been my right hand man woman.
Step one-
I've said this before...but it truly is hard to get a good picture of the windows at Flourish, because of all the light reflections. ( going to try later this evening to see if I can get a better picture}
Window 2
Bree and I had a blast putting these windows together....all went great....well, there was a little bonk on the head (smile}...not to worry no blood was spilled.....and I will live.
One more thing....I love this little iron bed spring...remember when I used it for this?
Happy Day

Last month I was "doodling" the design for the "June" windows. This is what it looked like on paper.
I roped Bree into helping me...actually no roping involved....she helped willingly. She is awesome that way.
We made waves-
We made clouds-
How to make clouds- check out The farm chicks site...Serena gives awesome instructions!
Best Quote-
As we were spraying the hardened paper covered balloons with spray adhesive.... (so we could put the fiber fill on them)
I said- Hope we don't pass out from the fums.
Bree- Yeah, then we would be on cloud 9! Made us laugh so hard!
(maybe it was the fums...but we thought it was pretty funny.}
The windows from inside flourish looking out.
The finished windows-
It is so hard to get a picture without a reflection in it...

Regularly scheduled event- Book Club starting July 18
Saturday was our Mothers Day Celebration- What an awesome group of women who came to share the event.
Here's a little look into the event.
How the room was "dressed"- Chalkboard art, fresh flowers and pink puff tissue balls.
The "Mothers Day" box was a door prize. Spa in a box.
Each napkin had a quote from "Downtown Abby"
A box was placed at each setting- containing ....items for the craft. Each one was given a mini cup and plate- to write their own- Poems, art or words of love.
Craft box - vintage ribbon and mini plate and cup.
A little bird at each setting- I found the card here.
Each person received a vintage linen bag with handmade soap by Donya's Naturally.
The Food-
I forgot to get a picture of the little sandwich at each place- a Chicken salad with cranberries and walnuts- wrapped in paper tied with twine and topped with a daisy. Something like the picture below.
The Fun-
I had a blast with these lovely ladies....such fun. Thanks gals for making it such a fun event.
Our goal was to get a picture with each of the ladies and their handbags-
Loved her vintage Bag!
The "Mother to BE" was adorable!
The ladies were so cute with their bags-
Hope to see "you" at our next event!
Happy Day
