Up, up and away.

I have been away from the blog for far too long. Transforming my finds has to be more of a priority. Today's comment is dedicated to Sherri Angie who sent me back down my road interuptus. My friend Karin Mueller created this amazing piece.

Festival of Trees 2009

It's time once again for all of you good little girls and boys to come to the Festival of Trees at the Leopold Crystal Ballroom, 1224 Cornwall Ave. here in Bellingham on Dec. 5. Here is one of my auction items I will be donating. It can be yours if you come and bid on it in the Silent Auction. There will be loads of great stuff from a handmade shawl by Deborah Moskowitz to BizProv classes courtesy of The UpFront Theatre. Call 733-6714 for details!

We All Fall Down

Windows rattled and sweaters ruled today as Fall sent an early greeting. Even though summer isn't over, I'm eying glittery skulls and pumpkins and contacting potential donors for the Festival of Trees Gala Dinner and auction, slated for Dec. 5. The Unmistakables had a great show last week (my improv group). I encourage everyone to check us out at The RiverBelle Theatre in Mt. Vernon on Wednesday nights. Cheaper than the movies and way more fun. It's just $5. Meanwhile, I continue to plug away at The Upfront and even got into one of their ads in The Bellingham Business Journal this week. Go Improv! And check out Restoration Hardware's new collection! Viva la France - but don't forget your sash.

Nascar Ninny

Someone took a wild ride in my yard Tuesday morning around 11 a.m. How exactly they left the road, sheared off my mailbox (and the neighbors), hit three trees and ricocheted into another neighbor's fence is a mystery. Just like in the movies, "Nobody saw nuthin!" Hopefully the trees that I have put so much tender love and care into will survive. Parts of the car left behind by the hit-and-run driver indicate it was an older Lincoln Continental, possible blue or gray. Hopefully it scared them enough to quit drinking or driving. Thank goodness my new circle in the back (I finally cleared out) was untouched.

Sunny Summer Day

Yes it does rain almost two-thirds of the year, but when it's nice - wow! If I don't have leaves in my hair May through September, you know I just don't feel right.
