Harvesting Portland

Oh, the joy lovelies of Fall's bounty :)

fresh goodies from Bella Terra & Laughing Lady Soap

Now that it's fall our focus can turn to indoor pretties.  And these new Bella Terra lovelies have got us all excited!  From the tiny pots to the new style of wall mounted planters.

 This little pink guy might have to come home with me :)

 I'm super excited to pamper my skin with Laughing Lady's new Milk and Honey bar.
 Lavish Lovers sold out fast last time around.  So hurry in and scoop one up.  Your skin will thank you, especially as the rainy season comes on.  Laughing Lady Soap is delectable! 

gourding it up on the farm

Wednesday Emerald Petals and Bloke took a very early morning trip to Windflower farm in Mosier, OR. 
Our goal, to pick first of the season gourds and pumpkins.

 We had quite a jaunty time.  The weather was spectacular and we were greeted by Caroline the proprietress farmer extraordinaire, puppy dogs Bo and Bond, chickens, and kitten pudding seen below :)

This is a sampling of what we got and only the beginning of what will be available this season to make your Fall festivities oh so joyous!

Hooray for Autumn!

 bestest time of the year  :)

Congratulations Beth & Rod

I don't know why I chose to just photograph the bouquet and two boutonnieres... Busy weekends will do that to me :)

Some like it HOT...

Whoa what a hot few days it has been!  Luckily we have ac in the shop or the poor flowers would melt :)


We had two weddings this weekend and a jaunty party.
Congratulations to Tresa & Ted!  And to Emma & David!
