Let them eat cake...

How about a little ghoulish dessert...yummy Almond Cake,
drizzled with rich, ripe blood and a dollop of skull
to top it off...YUMMMMM...
Delectable soaps for all hallows eve.

Got back to the shop today after shipping off soap orders
and to my surprise, my brother was there starting to build my gazebo
SWEET!!!
The 2x6 lumber was given to me by my soul sister
Cathy C. and her man Bill, my bestest buds!
Thanks kids!!!
A special thanks to my brother Michael!
LOVE YOU!

Scratchy approved, great place to play ball...
you wanna play Mom???
Now the fun begins...
I'm on the hunt for old chippy corner brackets,
but in the meantime...
I'll drape it with burlap fabric so the trumpet vines
will have something to cling to.
Today I dig the vines and transplant to their new home.
I was gonna plant Autumn clematis on the posts,
but the trumpet vines bloom all summer,
great food source for the hummers, so I have to be practical,
as the clematis is a short burst of blooms,
only lasting a few weeks, if that.

Had two wonderful gals from Canada
visit the new shop yesterday, these crazy gals follow my blog
and had to see for themselves whatsup!
Of course they had to tour the chateau...
note to self...
CLEAN HOUSE!!!
Y'all know as well as I, that this biz allows little time for house cleaning,
the girls also did a forced showing of Barb C's house...
it is what it is
in the wonderful world of an antique dealer...
what's a little dust and cobwebs and clutter...
