Looks a lot like Christmas 'Round Here
Just wanted to share a few pictures of the prettiness around our house.
I'll actually share more pictures when it is day time and my house isn't quite the mess that it is currently.

Wowsa!!!
It has certainly been a long time since anything has been posted, so I thought it was time to get down to business and give you some updates on what's been happening with Warm Bouquet.
As you are aware, my mom and I have partnered up to bring you all our beautiful (yes I AM biased) handcrafted works of art, a.k.a 18" doll clothes, "washers and dryers", infant items, and of course the totally awesome wine cork trivets.
We have been busy little bees! Slowly getting more and more traffic to the Etsy (www.etsy.com/shop/Warmbouquet) shop and a few people have even found us on Facebook (www.facebook.com/WarmBouquet). Just a little note, if you "Like" us on Facebook, you will be the first to know about some of the Facebook/Twitter exclusive coupons we are offering.
Since the holidays are right around the corner, we currently have a coupon code for the remainder of the month of November that you can use when you checkout on Etsy.
NOVEMBER10
With that, I will give you a little peek at our first ever craft show that we attended. Of course, we have learned a thing or two, so this next one we are hoping will go much better than the last couple. We are definitely being optimistic about it anyway!
With that, here you go! Hope you had a safe and fun Thanksgiving holiday and we hope that the remainder of 2012 is full of joy and family time!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
A Toast from Ireland:
May you be poor in misfortune
Rich in blessings
Slow to make enemies
Quick to make friends
But rich or poor,
Quick or slow,
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward
May you be poor in misfortune
Rich in blessings
Slow to make enemies
Quick to make friends
But rich or poor,
Quick or slow,
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward
There's a dear little plant
that grows in our isle,
'Twas St. Patrick himself
sure that set it;
And the sun on his labour
with pleasure did smile,
And with dew from his eye
often wet it.
It thrives through the bog,
through the brake,
through the mireland;
And he called it the dear
little shamrock of Ireland—
The sweet little shamrock,
the dear little shamrock,
The sweet little, green little,
shamrock of Ireland!

Sure, it's a good day t' be Irish
Being as it is, St. Patty's Day
Be proud of yer' Irish blood
And drink gallons of Guiness today

Do you have the luck of the Irish?
Well you need to get a lucky charm,
And make a great big wish.

It's the time to eat corned beef and cabbage,
And also drink green beer,
And raise our glasses in a toast,
And bring in alot of cheer.

So don't forget when you go out,
To wear green by the way,
Then you can join all of the rest,
And have a great St. Patrick's Day!

An ode to old Saint Patrick's Day...
Yes, I know it is on Saturday, I just thought my pins today would be for St. Patty's Day.
Anyway...
May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields...
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

If you really like this, you can buy it here.
See how to make this here.
If you don't have the creativeness to make this, you can purchase one here.
Yes, I had to add some fashion into the mix!
A little bit of sweet, a little bit of salty, and a bit 'o crunch!
YUMMY!!!
I seriously wish I had an apron for every holiday!
Unfortunately, I don't wear the only apron I own as it is, so they would go unused.
Oh well, at least I can sew my own if I really feel the need!

The history of Easter baskets in the US
There are many good things that come to mind when someone thinks of the Easter season. One of the things that is a happy memory for many children and people in general is the Easter baskets that have come to be a necessity of the holiday. There are many children who have even come to expect the gift as a part of the holiday festivities. In most family?s traditions the Easter baskets are kept from the children until the day of the holiday. There are also many other traditions that are a part of the festivities of the holiday as well.
One of the traditions that is the most fun for everyone including the children is the traditional Easter egg hunt. This is a great tradition where the people that are organizing the hunt have a job hiding eggs in different places and then they have the children go and find them wherever it is they are hidden. This is a great game and it is a lot of fun for families. It is also a time which like many other holidays families can spend time together. It is important for families to spend as much quality time together as they possibly can in order to have the chance of becoming closely knit.
Here in the United States Easter is a very popular holiday because of the fact that it is a Christian holiday. Many different cultures brought these traditions with them when they decided to immigrate here to the United States and therefore there are many families that still celebrate the holiday today.
Here in the United States it is also common to combine these traditions with the religious ceremonies that are also a vital part of the day. Easter itself is really a combination of two holidays one of which is pagan and the other of which is strictly spiritual. There are those families who choose to leave behind the egg decorating and the other parts of the holiday that are deemed by them to be unnecessary in favor of religious observance. It is also important to note that Easter is not just a time for putting on pastel colored clothing decorating eggs and giving gifts in baskets. It is about something that is much more important than that.
There are many symbols of the holiday that transcend the pagan holiday and have since been changed to have more of a spiritual meaning such as eggs and rabbits. No matter how the holiday is celebrated it is nevertheless an important holiday for many people regardless of their background or social status. It is also a tremendously fun day for children of a variety of different ages as well as the adults. Holidays of any kind are great excuses for the whole family to get together and have fun all while enjoying each other?s company. It doesn?t matter in the slightest what you do in order to celebrate any holiday as long as you have a good time and enjoy the family being together.

Since Tuesday was Valentine's Day, I thought it would be fun to do a Valentine's Pinterest post.
Here are all of the pretties that I have "pinned" for Valentine's Day.

No link on this one.
Just a pretty, simple tattoo that I would like to get.

Pretty and simple. I am going to make some of these - for home and for work!
I printed this one off, now I just need a cute frame to put it into.
No link on this one.

Very cute idea, but I don't think we would use it in our house.
Maybe just a decoration...
No link here.
This would be great for the kids at Jilli's daycare.
Seriously adorable!
I think my baby-girl is getting to be too big for this fru-fru stuff.
Click on the photo and check out all the other fabulous stuff they have.
Well, there you have it, my Valentine's "pins."

Looking for lots and lots of different winter and holiday decor.
I like to decorate for the holidays with things that can be used all season.
There are so many ideas out there, it has been hard to choose just a few things.
home-made window clings
I love snowmen!
So pretty for decorating the hearth.
These would be cute as fridge magnets.
The kids could design their own snowmen on the fridge.
Super cute pillows... The stuff in the basket is cute too!
