Just read your sweet note and h...Hey Girlfriend...<br /><br />Just read your sweet note and had to come right over to see your pretty arrangements! Ohhhh, Cindy...they both are absolutely stunning! Don't say that you aren't very good at it...WHATEVER, Girlfriend! Hehe! Of course, I think my favorite is the beautiful arrangement that you did in your pretty teapot...I love, love, LOVE all the flowers that you used in that bouquet! Beautiful colors too!!! Of course, I do love the the pretty pholx, tiger lilies, and baby's breath as well! How wonderful to have all of those flowers growing in your garden so that you can make such beautiful bouquets!!! Are you taking both of these arrangements to the fair? I really do think they are "Blue Ribbon" winners for sure!!! Thanks for sharing your pretties with us! You know, I think I'm terrible at doing arrangements but I have fun with it anyway! My Mom is sooo talented with that...she worked in a florist for several years! I have watched her many times...but I just don't have the same knack! Hehe!<br /><br />Ohhh my, I bet Katie is just miserable in the heat! I do remember...I carried two of mine all summer long...eeeks! Did she end up finding anything she liked? Ahhhh...the joys of motherhood!<br /><br />Girlfriend, I couldn't figure out what kind of a critter that was on your porch! Hehe! I don't believe that I've ever seen a woodchuck before! Wow...can't believe that it didn't scare Lily off! Hehe! Was she making friends with it or just standing her ground...protecting her territory? Sooo funny! OMG...I got a visual when you mentioned how bad it would be to try and chase a woodchuck out of the house...eeeeks! That's the thing that "Funniest Home Videos" are made of! Hehe! <br /><br />Well sweet friend, I sure enjoyed your note today! I know...I miss you too! Just think of all the trouble we could get into if we lived closer! wink! I'm just sooo happy that you got to come out here...I loved every minute of it!!! Well Sweetie, have fun with your fair projects and go GET THAT BLUE RIBBON!!!<br /><br />Love ya, sweet friend!<br />ChariChari at Happy To Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475994012652473793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453105784166847940.post-15085155775161156092010-07-30T11:35:29.290-05:002010-07-30T11:35:29.290-05:00I think you did a wonderful job of flower arrangin...I think you did a wonderful job of flower arranging Cindy!

Now, mink are dirty, smelly and destructive (although cute also). We never did figure out where it went. Searching high and low, it was gone, and there was nothing out of place. He must have escaped, but we still wonder where the little guy got to =)Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04323600022901314948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453105784166847940.post-35988602356650849332010-07-29T08:56:08.899-05:002010-07-29T08:56:08.899-05:00Your little wood chuck is actually kind of cute! ...Your little wood chuck is actually kind of cute!

They look great. I love wild flowers just wild like that. So your daughter is pregnant, too. Yea not too smart to take her shopping in that kind of heat.

The tea pot is such a great container for the first arrangement, and you made the wildflowers look almost elegant in that arrangement! I predict blue ribbons. Good luck!

You did a wonderful job on both of them. Oh goodness I can just imagine how uncomfortable your daughter was in that heat...not a good day to shop that's for sure! I'm getting tired of this heat down here in Kansas too...it makes it hard to do anything outside and when you live on a small farm there is usually lots to do out there. I hope your weather cools off soon...have a wonderful Thursday!
