I hope everyone had a great weekend. The weather here in Fayetteville, NC was beautiful but hot. We had a great day here at the store Saturday and today has been much the same. It is very overcast right now and the weather man says we supposed to get thunder storms late this evening. Hopefully it'll wait till Linda and I are safely home. Finally I have the pictures of the burlap valances Linda made posted. Our store is so big and bright she thought the valances would make a difference and did they ever! Our customers love them. I also wanted to show a couple ways we have displayed forsythia. Our front display has a support board across it so Melissa wrapped it with honeysuckle vine and put stems of forsythia in it. She also hung an old ladder from the ceiling and wrapped it with honeysuckle and used forsythia stems. Ladders can be used in so many ways. I show pictures in a future post of the different ways we've used them.
Till next time,

Kimberly: )
