Time for a Garden Party

-
"There's a freshness, a spontaneity you feel when you entertain outdoors,"stated by Pamela Scurry in a Country Living Magazine. When entertaining at home she uses everyday items. In the photos I am sharing from her story you can see her crafty way to make the occasion special with her Garden Tea Party Tablescape Theme!. She recommends using glass tableware outdoors because the sun makes them sparkle!
Inexpensive tip on a memorable flower arrangement! Mix fake and fresh flowers together!
Float Flowers in a Fountain or a Tub.
To make fresh flowers last longer: Cut the stems on an angle under running water with a pair of sharp scissors, then place them in a vase filled with warm water. "Warm water gets the air bubbles out of the stem, allowing the water to reach the flower head more quickly," says Pamela. If your rose has a weak head, lay it in a baking dish filled with warm water. It'll come back to life by morning.
Don't forget to continue your color scheme when entertaining into your food presentations to delight your guests!

I tried to remind her of my past accomplishments, like the very first set of shelves I built. The shelves came out alright, but I didn't have a sawhorse, and the only room in the trailer that wasn't carpeted was the bathroom. I didn't want sawdust to get in the rug, so I used the John as a sawhorse. You guessed it, cut the John in Half!............................................ She wasn't too proud of me, but after all, I did get the shelves built, so she forgave me for my little mistake.. Besides, half a John is quite a conversation piece!...... The following Christmas she decided that I might be able to build some plywood sleighs for fru...

Gold & Critters

-
The power of the mention of a gold discovery brings to mind the time we were on one of our early camping and prospecting trips to Lynx Creek, just out of Prescott,Arizona. It was a beautiful, sunny afternoon and the creek was lined with people enjoing themselves and panning along the banks and small pools of water. The soothing buzz of insects, chirp of birds, and clinking of tools against bedrock, was suddenly broken by an excited, "Gold, I found nuggets"! Heads turned up creek, and a few folks actually grabbed up their tools and headed for the "discovery". Of course, the "rush" was short lived, when the "prospector" turned out to be Jim, our 2 -1/2 foot tall, chubby, little three year old! He had just panned his first little pieces of gold and just had to let the world know about it! The rest of the afternoon and well into evening around the campfire was filled with joy and laughter as the story was told and retold, how little Jim had created s...
