Valentine's Gifts in Black and White

I must confess this really is more of a collection that reminds me of My Valentine.


Newborn Photo Prop - by Organic Mama
This reminds me of our night time ritual when the children were younger. After all the kiddos kissed "Mommy" goodnight, one by one, "Daddy" would hoist them over his shoulder and carry them off to bed and tucked them in. They would giggle all the way down the hall way. I admired his strength and the strength of the bond between him and each of our children




Goats Milk Shaving Soap - Country Soaps By Marlen
Often my husband leaves for work before the children get up. I get to sneak in a few hugs before he heads out the door. His freshly shaven face smells so delicious.




Sweet and Simple Antique Brass Hoop Earrings - Purple Design Studio
The simplicity of these earrings reminds me of my husband as a provider. In our early years money was extremely tight. Then things began to look up and we decided to homeschool our children. That meant cutting back to one income. Our life is a simple one, but he does what he can to provide for us and splurge a little on me from time to time.









Cotton Sampler Lap Quilt - Hamncheezr
This one reminds me of Friday Family night. Most of the time our kiddos want to rent a movie and pop popcorn. We all snuggle under handmade quilts and blankets while we watch and talk.




1971-1973 Chevy Camaro Hubcap - 8 Mile Creek Design
This last gift reminds me that in all the busy"ness" of life, I need to stop more than just once a year to say, "I love you!", to the people who matter most.

The Thanksgiving Dinner

Once there lived a woman,
who was hosting her family Thanksgiving.












She cleaned for days and the house smelled so nice.











Dressed in her best, she welcomed her guests.




Herbs from her own garden formed the humble wreath on her door,as guests arrived bearing gifts to say Thank You to their hostess...










Her table was set with lovely dishes...







...and the food was...well...divine.


Buzz, buzz, buzz...The alarm clock sounds. Wait it was only a dream. What time is it? What is today? Tuesday? The 23rd? Wow, I have a lot of work to do. Cleaning, scrubbing, cooking, baking...Thanksgiving is only two days away!





Wishing you all the best,
VeryVerdant

Introducing CypressLakeSoaps

I love that our team is getting so many new members. I want to introduce you to one of our newest. Be sure and click on the photos to go to her store items.

Cypress Lake Soaps
Cypress Lake Soap is a family business that draws inspiration from nature.

In the search for a milder, safer, more environmentally friendly alternative to commercial soap, we began to make our own using only natural ingredients.

What makes our soap different?
Our soap is truly different from commercial grade products. These soaps are created using only vegetable oils, essential oils, and other products found in nature, such as vegetable fibers and powders, as well as, herbs and spices, and natural clays for their color, texture, interest, fragrance, and their nutritive properties. Our soap base starts off with a mixture of quality ingredients such as olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil and castor oil. All of these products come together to form a wonderful, all natural soap with a luxurious lather that also retains its natural glycerin to pamper your skin and senses.

What you will never find in our soap!
They will never contain chemical or synthetic fragrance oils, synthetic dyes or any other synthetic ingredients, sodium laurel sulfate or any other types of detergents, petroleum products, or artificial preservatives.

How we make our soap!
Every bar is a unique creation because they are made in small batches using the cold-process method. Each batch is hand stirred, and poured into molds, when it is ready the individual bars are cut and cured for up to six weeks. This time is used to further develop the mildness of the bars and to allow time for them to harden. No two bars will ever be exactly alike. We think you will enjoy our soap as much as we enjoy creating it.
