My BIGGEST SHOUT OUT goes to "MY CREW"... I won't be able to tag on the post, but I will go in under my personal page and set a tag on this photo for EVERYONE. Without this Group of People, this Event would not have taken place and I LOVE and ADORE each and Everyone of them... and especially those that are NEW TO ME, because they trusted my Vision. I LOVE EACH AND EVERYONE of these Fabulous Souls... they endured ME, so that says ALOT!!!! They are my CREW for Next Year too, unless they change their mind, hahahahah....

You all helped me with Unloading, Unpacking, Decorating, Prep work, every little step that would not be possible with just my Sister and myself, so I thank you and I OWE YOU .......

ALSO... Thank you to my TECH Guy - John Norell, The Crafty Tech Guy ..it was a BLESSING that he bought a ticket, and when I called on him to RUN My Event, he didn't hesitate and he did a FABULOUS JOB... he came in the day before to set up the Camera system (all the tech stuff) and he also stepped in and helped Decorate the Pink Trees with Mari Valley. If you are holding an EVENT... he is the GUY TO CALL, he may even arrive in Costume!!!!!
I feel God puts you in a path sometimes to help others, and he truly did that for me... LOVE YOU BIG GUY!!!!

I want to SHOUT OUT to all of the Designers that were on Stage at the Event and THANK THEM for doing such FABULOUS Designs on Stage. I am going to post a LOT of photos of them that I found on their pages. ( I was working and running around, so didn't get many myself). Most of you know all of them or most of them, but if you don't, I promise if you watched their LIVE Designs on stage in the LIVESTREAM Event, you grew to KNOW them very quickly.

This is a photo from Christmas 2022....I admit, I have missed staging the Store for Christmas this year and this photo came up in a Memory this weekend... I will share more photos later this week.... Big Hopes for Christmas 2024

PLEASE Watch your handbags....
Someone called me earlier and told me the saddest story, while she was at a local Hobby Lobby, a poor Old Lady got to the checkout counter and realized her handbag was stolen from the cart seat, where MANY of Us are guilty of putting our handbags... she was frantic...
I have seen some sketchy people walking around when I have been out recently, the other day at Michaels, he had no buggy, nothing in his hands, but saw him walk up and down aisles for over 20 minutes while I was there.. it makes you wonder??? Was he really wanting flowers, then on an aisle for glitter like myself??? but again, he had nothing in his hands??? appeared to be casing... be mindful of your surroundings and take one of these clamps and reinforce your purse down, take zip ties and scissors if need be, clamp those suckers down and make the thieves cause a ruckus and noise and get caught... put JINGLE BELLS on your Straps, inside the zipper, or whatever, this is of course if you need to use the child seat to store your bag... I do, because mine is LARGE and if on my shoulder, it bangs into everything, LOL... but I will be taking some security measures next time.. but I try to normally hold onto my straps if I turn around to pick something up or lean over.... This is Sad to go to a HAPPY PLACE such as HL and have your purse stolen... but THIEVES know people are distracted in these places most of all and will turn away.. LET'S Catch a THIEF...
BUY SOME DAMN JINGLE BELLS, take a zip tie and put some scissors in your purse when you are ready to cut it loose... wire the bells all around your purse... as always, JUST MY OPINION... Angie/Petals & Plumes

Happy Birthday to my Beautiful Mom... she is my Rock, my Best Friend, my Life... She turns 84 today ! Love you so much..

10/18/2023

Wanted to share a ONE Year Memory from my Store last year..it may be closed now, but this is what I miss the most, creating and building the DISPLAYS. Cried a bit after watching,, but I know change is going to be good, maybe not today, but in a SOON tomorrow.

Sometimes you must let go of something you love to grow and move ahead, and that is what I am doing next year. My Mother asked me earlier this year about moving back to Atlanta, she wants to be near my brother , and she turns 84 this Monday, so when she asked me to close the Store earlier this year and let’s sell our houses and get one in Atlanta, I did not hesitate, I will make this happen at whatever the cost, that is her Wish and I will see it through!

It’s in Gods hands, and with his will and guidance, and any tests he may throw me, I will pass, because this is the ONLY Important thing right now, My Mother and he knows I am not a quitter!!! Store closing was worse than any House move I’ve known, but her house is next on the list. I share this because you can never know what you are capable of until you test your strengths, you have to strive and endure, sometimes the BEST in you is not shown today, but tomorrow… push through, because ONLY you can GROW yourself, no one else can do it for you!

Please remember this, no matter what happens, because when you don't have those moments any longer, you will wish you had behaved differently... Treat Each Day as if it were your LAST!!! Angie

I want to take a Moment and express my sincerest gratitude to those who went ABOVE and BEYOND to help with the Set up of the Event.
First Off, I want to thank my Sister, Candi Etheridge Ward, who without her help, it would not have happened. I drove a 16ft box truck 2.5hrs to this Event, and YES, we forgot things, but for an EVENT to be organized and held out of town, I think we did a DARN Good Job for just 2 women. She drove behind me and was there to set up and break down... We got a bit edgy at times with each other, but that is just how Sisters do it... Also, my Brother William Etheridge who lives in Atlanta and met us there to unload and build many displays... He even made me 2 Antique Easels for the Wreath displays, a Glue Gun holder at the last minute and BUILT my favorite piece, the Mausoleum display in the cemetery... His talents are unmatched!!!! he was in Augusta visiting Mom when we returned on Saturday to help us unload the TRUCK again into the Storage units...
Mari Dickson Valley was there when we arrived!!! she was intrumental in setting up and helped run errands for anything we needed... She helped unload the truck, helped with set up and sooooo much more!!!!
Amanda Thrasher was another who jumped in to help with set up and even took prep work back to her hotel room on Tuesday to get some goodies completed for the Swag Bags... WOW
Angel Garcia Hollaway, Amy Rudy Smith, Vonna Hamlin, and Jackie Matyas Danner arrived with these 3 ladies and MAN, let me tell you, this QUARTET knocked out with the set up of the Cemetery, Merchandise, Tree, etc.... I could not have pulled it off without all of them. They sat up the Merchandise area and busted their bums with all of the Decor like troopers.
Pam Mitchell Roy-Lyon, Sheila Landers, and Mari also set up another tree and decorated the Mantlepiece. Gina Casillas helped with bagging merchandise and setting up prep for the Make/Take kits, she was always helping and her husband came to help when we broke down the event.
Kandi Kelley Jung and Jennifer Walker Moye were instrumental in getting the Videos all on the Screen for you all who attending in person and Virtually... They rallied to help with prep work and handle giveaways... Jacquelyn Koch and Jennifer sat in the back with me and finished up prep work for the Make/Take items... These 3 ladies were the gears in the machine that pulled it all together.

All of these Ladies and more were there on Friday when We Broke down the Event Hall, including all of those TROOPERS that were there to help with the set up and we were out by 6:00 pm, which was something I NEVER expected to happen... Theresa Macke Ramsey Kay Venteicher and Gina Casillas and their husbands helped break down also and load the truck to get us out of there...

I KNOW, there are many more that helped break down, but I was running around and if I missed your name, please know, it was not intentional... I wanted to take a moment and THANK YOU all... I made so many new friends and that was ALL I was after with this Event... Many have asked, "Will you do another next year?" ... very unlikely... This Girl is pooped!!! I pray My Mom and I are moved by next year back to Alpharetta/Roswell area... This would have been soooo much easier had we lived near the Event Hall. Also, thanks to Mahi, the owner of the Roswell Historic Hall, her Venue was the UMPH in all of these displays... Absolutely Breathtaking...

Thank you to ALL that Came, in person or virtually... LOVE YOU ALL! Angie of Petals & Plumes
