We sure have a <span style="font-size: x-large;">Bumper</span> crop of <strong><u>GREEN</u></strong> tomatoes. The weather this year in the PNW has not been kind to our garden. Tomorrow marks the first day of <span style="font-size: x-large;">September</span> and the weather doesn't look to<strong> </strong><span style="font-size: large;">promising.</span> If they make it all the way to red we will have literally<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;">hundreds</span> of glorious Tommy-toes. We (mainly my husband) will try our hand at canning them - along with his<strong> </strong><span style="font-size: large;">to-die-for</span> spaghetti sauce. Now that's <span style="font-size: x-large;">sumptin'</span> to talk about. It's so good I swear I could drink it!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
All this leads me to<span style="font-size: x-large;"> wondering:</span> Are fried green tomatoes made with unripe fruit or is there a green tomato variety I don't know about? Does anyone have a <span style="font-size: large;">good recipe</span> they want to share? Speaking of<span style="font-size: large;"> unknown varieties</span>...I had no idea there was such thing as Green Beans with such a lovely purple design. But here they are- freshly picked from our garden! I was a little Leary to try them. It's like convincing yourself a <span style="font-size: x-large;">red banana</span> is normal. It just didn't make sense to me. But let me tell you they are divine!</div>

<strong><u>What inspires your designs?</u></strong><br />
Current wedding trends, colours and browsing for supplies on Etsy. I will find something and base a new design on that. I have some gorgeous reproduction lock and keys I am very keen to use.<br />
<br />
<strong> <u>How long have you been creating your bridal bouquets?</u></strong><u> </u><br />
Since 2008<br />

<u><strong>You currently have a 40 week wait on orders. You must be one busy gal! Can someone request a rush on a</strong> <strong>order?</strong> </u><br />
Yes I can accommodate rush orders. Ddepending how rushed though, charges may apply.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Two random facts about you...</u></strong><br />
My Father was a lighthouse keeper so we lived in very isolated places and I was taught school at home. I love handmade enameled jewelry especially by<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/bullfinchbarbury"> <span style="color: magenta;">Bullfinch and Barbury</span></a> on Etsy.<br />

A few years ago we sold our house and moved to<em><strong><u> Idaho</u></strong></em>. (not a fan) We stayed less then a year and I was ecstatic to see the<strong><u> lovely</u></strong> green of the<strong><u> PNW</u></strong> come into view on our drive <strong><u><em>home.</em></u></strong> But that's not where I am going with this. We lived in <strong><u><em>Orchards</em></u></strong> until we were tired of taxiing our kids back and forth daily to<strong><u> Battle</u></strong> <strong><u>Ground,</u></strong> our home town. So I began the<strong><u><em> dreadful</em></u></strong> task of finding a house to rent. I <em>scoured </em>the local property management websites. Finding a home in the right location, price range, size...was proving <em>daunting.</em> I would call to check on a place and it would be gone. Finally I came across a town house that was<em><u> very</u></em> familiar. And it was just<em><u> one</u></em> street away from our old house! I called and told them we would take it!! The woman on the other end paused and asked in a surprised voice <em><u><strong>"Don't you want to see it first?"</strong></u></em> I didn't need to, I explained. My husband had done some work on it when it was built! I called Mr. Wonderful and gave the <em><u>good news-</u></em> we went right in and signed the lease papers.</div><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"> The next day as our moving truck was being loaded, I went ahead to open the place up.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Much to my <strong><u>surprise</u></strong> someone was living in it! I pulled up by the curb and<em><u><strong> sat there baffled</strong></u></em>. Before calling the agency I pulled out our lease papers. I contemplated out loud that maybe I should knock on the door. My daughter Alexa looked at me like I was crazy. I gave the papers another glance. Panic set in. The address wasn't even close to where I sat. I was so convinced I knew where it was, I never checked the address on the lease papers. This was<strong><u> S.E.</u></strong> and we needed to be at the same street only<strong><u> N.W</u></strong>. What and <strong><u>where did we rent?? </u></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;">I couldn't, just<em><u><strong> couldn't</strong></u></em> call my husband. He is used to me after 18 years-<em><u> <strong>but this?</strong></u></em> I pulled away from the curb trying to figure out where the place was. I drove around town for twenty minutes trying to find the proper address. What if it was a dump? What if, <strong><u>what if..?</u></strong> I finally pulled into the right driveway and decided I better call Mr. Wonderful and let him in on <strike>our</strike> my mistake. I won't tell you what he said. I rushed to tell him the outside looked<u><strong> OK</strong></u> as I fumbled with the lock. I slowly pushed the door open. <strong><em><u>Whew!</u></em></strong> It was a <strong><u>respectable place</u></strong>. Clean and nice. It would work. It would <strong><u>have</u></strong> to work! The papers were signed. Yes, this is a long story and to make it a bit shorter...I had to let our family and friends know where they could <strong><u>REALLY </u></strong>find us.

It's nearly impossible. I have a hard enough time buying</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"> myself a new fragrance so I wouldn't presume to buy for someone else. I tend to get stuck wearing the same scent for a few years... or more. For a long time I have been wearing<strong><em><u> CoCo Mademoiselle</u></em></strong>. The other day I was mindlessly browsing <u><em><strong>Sephora </strong></em></u>and</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;">there it was.<strong><em><u> Dolce and Gabbana 18 La Lune.</u></em></strong> I fell in love again. It is slightly reminiscent of a a long ago favorite- <strong><em>Paris by Yves St. Laurent</em></strong>. Soft but not weak Not to floral, or to musky. I am not good at identifying the notes but I know what I like. And I really, really <strike>like</strike> love <strong><em><u>18 La Lune!</u></em></strong></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;">How long can one carry on about<u><strong> perfume?</strong></u> In my case...a long time. At the risk of sounding snobbish, I can almost always tell cheap perfume. It can be costly buying from a department store over a drug store- but it is well worth the indulgence! <em><u><strong>Several bottles look nice arranged on a dresser</strong></u></em> but to many perfume choices leave me<strong> <em><u>confused.</u></em></strong> Which one should I wear today? What is my mood? Perhaps my perfume habits say something about me... am I not big on change? Am I single minded? Or Do I simply know exactly what I want and won't settle for less?</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />
