sweetpeas & snapshots

2 Days until we blow out the candles....

That is for the Grand Opening of Sweetpea's Shopping Emporium...

I can't wait to pick the lucky winner for the $100 gift certificate..

I have a lot of names to pick from...Is one of them yours?

Blondie Rocked..

Well ladies , I have to say Blondie out rocked any other band on Saturday...including my boys, The Furs...Go Girl Power ! Of course we had VIP passes thanks to my wonderful hubby...too bad I was feeling to old to walk the length of Dodger Stadium to get to the Backstage lounge..."These boots were not made for walkin'.."

ROCK ON ! JACK FM...Live Broadcast!

I'll tell you all about it when I get home...Chow!

Morning Glory !

The first thing my Mom would say every morning when she woke me up...I now say it to my children. Birthday time is over, but I don't think it is ever the same once your Mom is gone. Another favorite morning greeting was ..."Rise and shine biscuit!"

Thanks to my wonderful southern lady who I adored...and miss.

While Hope was visiting we both discovered our love of books...

I picked this one up for all us who were raised by these women who were so wise and simple... They made life seem as easy as a casserole ...You know what I mean? 

I am loving this book...Quotes like.."Even an old barn looks better with a coat of paint on it."

Signature Sweetpeas...

Does anyone recognize the original Sweetpeas lampshades ?

One of them now hangs above my bed...it reminds me of all the beautiful , loving friends that entered my life and have given me so much love and support this year...Sweet dreams, my Lovelies...

I just had to show them off again...

Don't panic...not them...! These... Thanks, Miss Brooke ! I brought home a new man with tiny gold shoes...I can't wait to alter him...Don't we say that about all our men?

Can you do me a favor...?

...I mean scrumptious Vintage Party Favors in stock now at...you guessed it!

Sweetpea's Emporium...! Sweet eye candy... 

Papayalicious....Sweetpea's Emporium will have it all!

Dwell in Possibility...Emily Dickinson

A Rose with no Thorns...

That's Miss Brooke Giannetti...a lady with endless style, taste a beautiful new blog, brookegiannetti.typepad.com....

By the way she happens to be not only the sweetest person I've ever worked for but she also is so gracious...Look at the birthday bonus I got today...

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same...

Words can't describe the daily inspiration my best friend Leslie brings to my life...

The smartest person I have ever met that picks up the phone in the middle of the night to check on me...Love and caring is her biggest virtue. She is my inspiration...I want to be her when I grow up...someday.

Who inspires your world?

If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever...Quoted by Winnie-the-pooh...XOXO Mary
