Rose Petal Porch

This weekend I'll be on the road again, for another AMAZING

EARTH ANGEL'S ART GIRLS ROAD SHOW!

This time, it will be in my home state,

New Jersey.

*

I was introduced to Joyce Cudworth Meehan, owner of the Beautiful

Rose Petal Porch last June.

Let me tell you, Joyce has an amazing eye for vintage finds!

Her shop is filled with treasures at wonderfully reasonable prices!

I came home with a light green 'cubby' shelf, a few

black and white pictures and a vintage purse for Tess.

I use the green shelf in my studio and I also use it as a display at

all of the shows. 

Joyce, I could have sold it many times BUT I love it and can't part with it!

*

I am fortunate enough that I am going to share my weekend

in Lafayette with my favorite peeps!

Jen O'Connor, Master Mind and Creator of Earth Angels,

Kathy Nuttall - Doer of all Tasks,

Robin and Denny Bellarmino - The Show Organizer and 'Body Guard',

and Letty Worley - Sweetheart and Bear Maker Extraordinaire!

*

I'm also hoping that these artists can make the show...

Laurie Meseroll - Fantabulous Mix Media Painter

and

Diana Card - Amazingly Detailed Americana Painter

*

It's suppose to be a beautiful weekend, weather wise.

Come visit us at Rose Petal Porch

and downtown Lafayette for their great assortment

of Antique and Junk Shops!

*

Happy Junking!

Tess' Confirmation

What a Blessed weekend!

Tess made her Confirmation on Saturday.

Her blessed event was shared by Me and Chris,

her Great-Grandma Tess (96), her 'Other' Nana (75),

her Nana (69) and Papa (71).

*

St Francis of Assisi Church was decorated beautifully for the

young men and ladies who were being Confirmed.

The Ladies Guild gave each of the Confirmed a carnation corsage/buttonier

and a Confirmation frame.

The Knights of Columbus gave the Confirmation class a 

beautiful set of pearl Rosaries.

Such kind and generous gifts.

* 

Tess' teachers, Deacon Michael and Mrs Flaherty were wonderful.

Tess enjoyed her classes, just not the waking up early part!

Bishop Cote was very nice. He smiled. He made eye contact.

He didn't drill the kids with questions. He shook hands and took pictures with everyone. 

*

I remember being AFRAID of the Bishop when 

I was being Confirmed. He didn't smile. He glared at us. He asked us questions.

There were no pictures.....I don't even think a handshake.

EEEEEK!

*

 Deacon Michael, Tessie and Bishop Michael Cote

 Tess, Great-Grandma Tess (96), "Other" Nana (75), Papa (71) & Nana (69)

Me (w/Skippy), Tess and MC

*

So another Church Journey completed for Tess.

As my Mom said, the next Church service Tess will be having is her WEDDING!

I think that can wait for at least 10 more years!

*

My love to Tess for taking another Spiritual Journey.

May Tess know that she will ALWAYS be loved and cherished by

GOD and her Family.

Always-

19 Wonderful Years & Still Counting!

Today marks 19 Wonderful Wedded Years to my Hubby.

WOW! Time just rolls on by.

Our wedding day was so warm, in the 70's, and sunny.

The yellow forsithia was blooming everywhere.

Friends and Family came from everywhere to share our day with us.

IT WAS JUST BEAUTIFUL!

<3

If someone would ask me to pick the Happiest Day of my life, I would have to

say that there would HAVE to be 2 days.

One = My Wedding day to MC

Two = The Day Tess was born

<3

I pray that MC and I have MANY years left to spend together.

I also pray that Tess is as blessed and I was to find such a wonderful, 

supportive, devoted and loving man.

<3

MC, you still ROCK my WORLD!

xoxoxo

Always-

Our wedding ceremony and reception were at the

Old Mansion in Union NJ.

The guys have LONGER hair than girls do!
