Getting ready for the BIG OPEN HOUSE! August 25th!

I am so excited for the upcoming Open House. I have been getting all of my inventory ready, shipments are coming in and I am beyond excited. I have these amazing pots that I have planted rose trees, gardenia trees and flowers at the base. I potted them all this morning to make sure they are perfectly grown in just in time for the big day. It's been really hot here in Orange County so I am keeping a close eye on them. Everyone to make sure they water a little extra right now if you are in CA, I think we have a heat wave coming up and we are at record lows for rain fall so the plants needs an extra drink. Sorry for the short update, I got to get back to work.

Big Shopping Day!

I had a great day shopping at the Orange Circle today. There was a flea market and lot's of great deals. I found two flower frogs that I have been searching for and many other treats. I also found some great plant material to use in my pots I will be selling at the Open House. If you live in Orange County, CA and want to attend the Open House on 8/25/07 just e-mail me at sharon@floralfacelift.com.

I also have been busy with my garden design. May inquiries for the "facelift". If you are interested in a design and you can plant it yourself or if you are local I can do it for you just e-mail me. I will be able to do a landscape design over your digital photo.

Sofia the Ballerina...

I am so proud of my daughter Sofia. She is 7 years old, going into 2nd grade this Sept. She had a big ballet performance this past Saturday. She danced so beautiful. I love to watch the little ones on stage. They are so darn cute. You can't help but smile when you watch them. The mothers of the girls in my daughters ballet class were all so proud. We have watched them practice week after week and seeing them up on the big stage was amazing.

Happy Summer!

I hope everyone had a great 4th! We had so much fun. My 7 year old daughter Sofia was in the Lake Forest parade. My 21 month old Antonio was so excited when he saw his sister pass by. We had the typical BBQ, swimming in the pool and fireworks. The kids slept good that night.

I have been working on Sara at Sadie Olive's garden design. Stay tuned we will be posting the photos when we are complete. She has such a beautiful home so it is a true honor to be working on her backyard.

I have also been busy working on these french vintage journals. They are going to make great gifts, I cant wait to give them away and Sadie Olive is going to have them on her website, so keep an eye out for them. Her website is beautiful and I am so excited! Check it out at http://www.sadieolive.com.

The journals are made with vintage french book pages with vintage french perfume labels. They have lot's of personal touches and you can personalize them.
