Well, I did it. My partner in crime, Maria, joined me in stalking “the” house and we laughed the whole way through. You see a funny thing happened. The house is in a gated section of the neighborhood. I have a friend that lives in Palencia, and I texted her and asked her to call the gate so that we could drive around and look for the house. I had not heard back from my friend by the time we were ready to “cruise” the neighborhood. So as we approached the gate, I asked Maria “what should I tell the guard?” Should I tell him I am going to my friend’s house and hope that she is home when he calls to verify my arrival? Or should I be honest and tell him that I just wanted to drive around and look for a house? As I approached the guard house, Whopper in hand, fries in my lap, I looked at Maria and told her I was just going to be honest with the guy. I pushed the power window button, down went the window, and before I could say anything, the guard said “Are you going to the baby shower? They called and said you would be coming” A brief moment of panic set in and before I had a chance to think, I quickly replied, “yes”. We were in! I can’t remember the last time I laughed so hard.
We walked around the house and peeked in all of the windows of course. It really is a beautiful home.
After our little adventure it was time to set up for the street festival.
Maria made ‘The Cottage Mix’ banner and the other ones you see in the pictures. Cute, right?
Sorry, Maria. This is the only picture I have of us.
It was a great day. Thanks to my friends and family who came out to see us. I love you all!
My side-kick in the picture has a really big day today…she is turning 40 and I will be right behind her. We have gone through so many experiences together, high school, marriage, babies and now we are entering the dark side together. Can’t wait to see what’s in store. Happy Birthday, Maria!!!!
I have been told that my grammer grammar needs some improving. I’ve never claimed to be a writer, nor do I aspire to be one. This is just a light-hearted little blog and not a course in creative writing. Thanks for going to bat for me Karen and Colleen!!
If there are any pillows in these pictures that interest you, please send me an email…chances are they are still available.
You may have noticed my ‘shop’ tab on my navigation bar. On my “to-do” list is to photograph and take pictures of pillows that I have designed. Before I add these beauties to my etsy shop, I thought I would offer them to you. The fabric is a blue and green floral on cream linen with a box pleat trim, a sweet little detail that dresses up the pillow. The pillows are backed in a mineral green solid linen. They are professionally sewn with a hidden zipper closure. Each pillow cover is$55.00. SOLD.
You may recognize them from here….(these are not the ones for sale)
If you are interested, please contact me.
