spring fever...

March has finally arrived and the weather has blossom into bright sunshine and blue sky's.
After lunch I wondered into my back yard and took a couple of photographs of the new blooms...
I love the Spring and I can't wait to enjoy the rays with Anthony at the Atlanta Fair this weekend.

southern dessert...

 

  

  

My mother gave me a quick lesson on how to make her delicious, southern-style banana pudding...To my surprise, it was rather simple than I was expecting. The finished dessert only took 10 minutes to make and as always....it tasted GOOD!

• 1 large pkg instant vanilla pudding, (6 ounces)
• 2 1/2 cups cold milk
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk, (14 ounces)
• 1 container whipped topping, (16 ounces)
• sliced bananas
• vanilla wafer cookies

Preparation:

Mix pudding and milk; add condensed milk. Blend well; fold in half the whipped topping. Alternate layers of pudding, bananas and vanilla wafers; top with remaining whipped topping and a few banana slices.
Refrigerate overnight before serving.

olive manna craze...

 

  

  

These are the cutest packaging supplies I have ever seen! The ribbons, masking tape and red twine will be great for wrapping all of my Valentines gifts this year. The olive logo is also genius for the perfect touch...

Olive Manna is the name of this cute company and I plan on doing a lot of business with them in the near future!

Monday Thought...

It looks like I will finally be able to purchase a new car soon. I took up a part time gig to help 'fund' my additional needs, retail splurges & travel habits :) Also, I am thinking about creating an online antique furniture shop. However, I am concerned about the shipping & pick-up issue. Will I be limited to local pick-ups only? Will shipping tremendously large furniture, be affordable for my customers?!? In the meantime, I'm going to do more research and If all goes well, hopefully I could get everything up & running by October/November...just in time for the HOLIDAYS!

If you have any advice on starting an online furniture store, please send me a message. I will love to get some insider's advice before I jump into it :)
