FOTESS: November – Early December “Christmas Stocking Exchange”
Comments (158)Faye, Merry Christmas! I opened my gift this morning and I am overjoyed with everything! Thank you so much! The monkey is so special because my little brother had one of those sock monkeys as a kid and every time I see one I think of him. I am going to send him a picture so he can see it. The ornament is also so special and reminds me of my grandparents that are no longer with me. I love the macrame and this was one of my favorite hobbies as a young adult. I can't wait to hang it up. The stocking with the plaid snowflake is adorable and the journal and pencils are something I can really enjoy in my quite time. I love the precious card that you made with the Snowman and snowflakes! The cutting board is awesome and will definitely be used in the kitchen. I have been seeing those chocolates advertised on tv and thinking I would love some! Yum! The body spray smells amazing and I will keep it with me in my purse. I also thank you for the seeds which I will be winter sowing very soon, I so appreciate everything and all the thought and care that went in to my gift. It is all so special! Thank you so much and hope you have a very, very Blessed New Year! Amy...See MoreYour AUGUST 2024 Highlights
Comments (33)diggerdee - Thanks for asking, devil's club is described here: https://www.fs.usda.gov/wildflowers/plant-of-the-week/oplopanax_horridus.shtml It's definitely not for everybody in a home perennial garden, rather its 'horridus' thorns are lamented by hikers ! but native Alaskans and my forager friends use it medicinally - one day I will tackle peeling the stems and making a salve for my arthritis but for now I do purchase it and I think it helps :)) I love it for its architecturally reaching stems, white flowers, pure red berries that the birds love and it just grows naturally at the edges of my property. Anyway, August isn't over yet so I took a few photos recently: Enjoying the color of this geranium:...See MoreDecember: The Last Game of 2024

Comments (265)Just wanted to share what I ended up wearing to The Nutcracker ballet with a group of ladies. Our Mountain West region tends towards casual attire everywhere so it was fun to take an opportunity to get a little fancy. (Note that these are photos of the items not me.) French Connection Viven Dress As you can see in the picture, the mesh is fairly subtle, especially at the waist. Life Stride Georgia Ankle Booties I am so pleased with how comfortable these booties were for someone who hasn't been wearing heels in quite a while. They worked so well with the dress and my feet were comfortable and warm when we were walking around downtown. JCrew Lady Day Coat I ended up keeping the JCrew coat. The warmth was great and it felt quite classy compared with the other coat I was considering. I also tend to wear very minimal makeup (just mascara) on a day to day basis. It's been years since I've done anything more but opted to wear some Laura Mercier eyeshadow and Laura Mercier stick gloss. I also wore some vintage styled drop earrings from Anthropologie....See MoreRelated Professionals
