Happy Veteran's Day

We would like to take a minute to thank all the wonderful men and women out there who selflessly have served or are currently serving in our military.

My girls and I had a wonderful day yesterday, spending time with my dad.  He is a Vietnam vet who served his time in the Air Force.  Although he doesn't like to bring attention to himself, I know he served with pride for our country.  I'm thankful for the freedom I have been raised with and all the men and women who have worked so hard to provide it.  It warms my heart to know that my father, along with so many others, played a part in making this such a wonderful country to raise my children in.  I know we all have our opinions on the way things should be done - but if it weren't for those selfless men and women, we wouldn't be able to voice those ideas.  Take a minute today to thank a veteran in your life :)

In honor of Veteran's day, we are offering a 10% off sale for all of our Patriotic items.  Head over to our website to take advantage of this opportunity!

Single Towel Sale!

Happy Friday!!  We are featuring our single Kitchen Towels today.  We are offering 10% off of all of these great towels.  I wanted to show you a few of my favorites.

Sweet Heart Sugar Towel

You need to go ahead and grab this one.  Get a jump on decorating for Valentine's Day.

Holly Wreath Towel

I adore the vintage feel of this towel.  I think it would be so precious to use as a gift wrap for a secret Santa gift.  Quantities are limited to this one.  Get yours now!

Bee My Honey Towel

This towel is so cute in person.  It is just plain sweet.

Texas Flour Sack Towel

As you all know...I am a Texas girl...I am going to get this towel and make it into a throw pillow for my couch.  When we were in Houston this past week, I came up with the idea of using our State Towels and making a collection of couch pillows that mean something to our family.  For example..."our set" would have the Texas towel, Kansas towel, Washington towel, and Florida towel.  

(I think I smell a tutorial in the future for this idea)

Head on over to Home a la mode and check out all of our other Towels.  When you are ready to check out...make sure you use my DISCOUNT CODE for an additional 5% off your purchase.  This is a great sale to stock up on towels.  How about getting a few extras for last minute Christmas gifts.  Check out all our towel packs too!!!

It's Time to go to Market

The Ladies have Landed!!!  We have safely arrived here in Houston for the International Quilt Market.  Our booth is just about set up and we are ready for customers.  

We are located in Booth #447 and would love to see you!

Time Flies!

Look at the calendar... LOOK!  It is time to start thinking of Thanksgiving and then Christmas right behind it. Oh My Gosh!  We have been so busy with work, life, family, school... we haven't done a whole lot with friends lately... Too busy!  Too much stuff scheduled... Does this sound like your household?  Everyone we have talked to lately has said the same thing.  Busy, busy, busy!!!  Let's all just slow down a bit... get a little more sleep... play a little more... love a little more... and breathe a bit more RELAXED...

Maybe we should do more of this... back to basics of teaching the young to sew... see a movie... play checkers... sit outside and listen to the birds and the sounds outside.  It's time for camp fires and fireplaces warming the house... Roasting marshmallows, chili cooking, brownies baking... you know... like we used to do... Just food for thought!  Christmas is coming!  Put down the phones and enjoy the people around us!  So let's all think of things to do to inspire our family, our friends, our children and grandchildren... Let's get all those ideas on paper and do them.  Make a bucket list with your spouse and do the things you have been putting off.  We did that a few weeks ago and went to the Albuquerque, NM Hot Air Balloon Fiesta...  It was awesome.  I will share pictures with you later.  We took a lot of great pictures!  But seriously... I just want anyone reading this to really read this and do the right thing!  ENJOY LIFE NOW!  

Have a wonderful week!

Funny story and a Winner!

This past weekend at the Affair of the Heart show, we had guests enter a drawing for $25 gift certificate to our online store.  As I was entering all the entry forms into my computer, my daughter was sitting nearby.  Typically, to pick our winner I use random.org to generate the number.  This time, for kicks, I thought I would let my little one pick the number.  She thought hard and chose #77.  The funny thing is, we decided to go onto random.org to see what the computer would pick.  And can you believe it, it picked the SAME number!  We both got a little chuckle out of it :)

And our lucky winner is, Ronda H!  She gets a $25 gift certificate to spend on any of our wonderful products!  Check out full line of vintage-inspired kitchen, home items, and quilting fabric and supplies our website!
