Catching Up

Souvcover
 Hello, Hello!

Wow, you guys are amazing. Really, just truly the best. Thank you for all your warm thoughts and kind wishes for my Mom. She's doing well and hopefully will be going home very soon. But we're "over the hump" so to say and on to the path of full recovery. Hooray!

Been busy as ever behind the scenes, the photo is a sneak peek at Souvenir..which should be hitting inboxes today or tomorrow. And the other half dozen projects should be wrapping up quickly. One is my website renovation, looking forward to having that finished. Oh, and I have a couple fun posts planned. Other than that, just life…which keeps us all busy!

So, what have you all been up to? Would love to hear what's going on in your life. I've been so preoccupied with mine and could use a little escape!

    Heather~so happy you posted an update. What a welcome sigh of relief.
    You know I told your mom in my last comment, you’d be her soft place to fall and her recovery will be filled with TLC Heather style, which will provide a speedy recovery
    Sweet wishes to Saundra too,

    Hi Miss Heather,
    Sorry I missed sending your momma get well wishes. I remember when you arrived in Minnesota and called your mom to tell her you had arrived. I thought it was so sweet that as an adult you still called you mom! I am glad to hear she is recovering as I realized then how important she is to you.
    Well, since you asked….have you heard we are moving back west? We are headed back to Portland on April 15. Sold our Minnesota cottage in a record breaking 2 weeks, have already found a home in Portland, a school for the girls and this happy momma is headed back where she belongs! Unfortunately, we are not getting out in time to escape the horrible winter we have had in Minnesota. Knowing it will be my last has brought joy to my heart, however.
    I will look forward to seeing you at Farm Chicks. I like all the ‘stuff’ you have going on….Souvenier sounds groovy!

    Heather,
    Fabulous news about your Mom, yay! Busy here too with my Etsy shop….it’s really picking up and it just dawned on me I wonder if that’s because of the high price of gas (just keeps getting higher too) and people shopping online instead of driving….
    Can’t wait for Souvenir!!

    Great news about your mother! All my best for her continued recovery! xoxo Beth

    I just now found out about your mom. I am glad she is on the mend…I’ll keep her in my thoughts and prayers.
    I wanted to mention that I just found Flea Market Style today at Walgreens of all places. I searched high and low for the first issue and never found it and today I hit the jackpot on my first try. Who would’ve thought Walgreens?! Anyway, I’m excited to look it over tonight!
    XO,
    Jane

    Very happy to hear your Mom is doing so well. Your idea of the get well wishes was wonderful. My Mom just love to look at my blog, even though I don’t think she truly understands the friendships that take place in blogland.
    I’ve been up to elbows in antique laces and sewing projects. I received a wonderful new French script rubber stamp and I’ve been stamping away, like a school girl. Creating is my passion and photographing my work is becoming more and more of a passion, as well.

    Stumbled upon your website and felt as if I’d found a goldmine . . . couldn’t help but think of the song “My Favorite Things” from the Sound of Music. That describes your website, a collection of my very favorite things. My mother is 90 years old and currently resides in a nursing home facility. Thanks for reminding me of those small items – her button box, treasured vases, china, doilies, quilts, and other items which I need to preserve and treasure. Thanks for sharing your talent and ideas with us!
    All the best to you and your mother,
    Bama Gal

    H~ So happy to hear about your Mom! On to recovery! Well things going on in my neck of the woods, Jake got his drivers permit today, Hooray! Also bidding on a huge paint job, Bible Study and picking out paint for Ben’s room. A little work and a little fun all makes this house hum. 🙂 Whatever that means, but it does rhyme so I am going with it. Blessings, Kimberly

    To one Heather, to another: So glad to hear your mom is doing well! It is so hard to see them in such a fragile state.
    That bouquet is gorgeous! I could almost smell them when I saw the photo! 🙂

    Good to hear that your Mother is doing better. She is lucky to have you there to help out.
    As to what I’ve been up to…just got back from my Dad’s wish I could get him to come stay awhile at my place….{it would be easier to take care of him} but he likes to be around his own things….and I understand that.
    It’s hard to be there for him all the time when he is so far away.
    Thank you for the beautiful photo.
    Blessings to you and your Mother.
    P.S bought the current flea market mag. and love it… great job. found it at Target =)

    I’m glad things are going well with your Mom. The kids just keep us running here and the weather well it’s cold still. I’m so looking forward to taking a ride and getting out with my camera! Have a great week and thanks for all the inspiration!! Susan p.s. Flea Market Style is super! I want to come to a photo shoot with you!

    I’m glad to hear everything is looking positive… this may be a silly question but the name of the white flowers in the photo? I can’t remember for the life of me.

  20. Jennifer Rizzo

    I am glad your mom is doing well. Flea market style looked great BTW. I am gearing up here to release my spring collection and make make make for the Nada Farm Event. Glad things are going well for you…! xoxo your Chicago BFF. 🙂

  21. Maria

    De-lurking to tell you I’m happy for you and your Momma. So glad she’s doing well. Mom’s are precious, aren’t they? So is our health, and I guess we need a reminder of that now and then. I’ve really been a slacker with treasure-hunting and my Etsy shop the last few weeks, trying to ditch whatever superbug has latched onto me. Anyway……Thank you for all your beautiful blog inspiration. Yours is one of those that inspired me to start my own recently.
    Cheers to your Mom, and a speedy recovery!

  22. Susan Hemann

    Beautiful flowers and photograph! Glad to hear your mother is getting better! I have been working on a blog for physically challenged gardeners.

  23. Sarah Beth

    I too have been dealing with family in the hospital, grandma, father-in-law, and today my brother!! It can be tiring. It is a rainy day, but there is a bright spot. My flowers are starting to peak their heads out of the ground!! Spring is on its way!

  24. Debe

    Glad your mum is better! Such good news! SOUVENIR just hit my inbox!!! You are such a clever girl & have very luscious friends. Can’t wait to read it more closely & look forward to the next issue. You know you were one of the first blogs I read & loved meeting at Zapp Hall. Wow..haven’t things changed since then? Congrats!

  25. Jackie Leonard

    Received the new emag today. It’s fabulous. Sent it on to numerous friends. Love it. Jackie

    Hi Heather,
    Souvenir is lovely. Beside the beautiful photos, it was a great read. Now I know I need to get Flea Market Style, I will be heading to Barns and Noble. Thanks for such a fun publication.
