Ask Annie - The Summer Visit

Our Dear Cynthia retired, and Ask Annie will try to assist you with all those pesky problems and questions we all wonder about.

"Annie"

Dear Annie, 

The Wicked Witch of the West is coming....oh, did I really say that?  mmmm...My mother-in-law is coming for a visit, and I am in a panic! We are hosting a backyard party while she is here, and our yard is a hot mess! Please give me some ideas before her broom lands (I mean airplane). 

Thank you!

Dear Groaning,
Put a smile on dearie and hang on. Here's all you need to make your party successful!

First, proudly display your Welcome to our Garden sign.

Use this Vintage Tea Trolley to easily roll around during the party and fill it with delicious fruits and champagne. Yummy! And if you roll over the witch's pointy toe someone's foot by accident, you can quickly offer another flute of the bubbly. Maybe she won't remember the mishap.

Next on the list: Say "cheese" for a photo to remember this backyard soiree. Sweetly suggest that the witch your mother-in-law pose on this fabulous Camel Garden Seat. Ooopsie.....now run for a towel or two like the tornado in Gone With the Wind before her wicked witch's wand anger bubbles over.

Count your blessings, honey, that you planned ahead with Annie's advice. The bad woman guest of honor will be pleased, no worries.

Don't forget the bug spray, darlin'. Those Texas mosquitoes can be quite annoying. (When she begins coughing, that's when you can stop pumping the sprayer.)

These adorable ladybug flower picks should make her black heart undecided opinion of your garden decorating skills soar.

When the party is over, and She-Devil mom-in-law kicks off her shoes, you can be proud of your home and your entertaining skills.

Christmas In July 2015

How Hot is It???

It's hotter than....

a pig on a flapjack.

a firecracker lit on both ends.

the Devil's armpit.

It's so hot.....

you could fry an egg on an ice cube.

the trees are whistling for dogs.

you could roast marshmallows on your belly.

you could eat hot peppers to cool off your mouth.

you can make Instant Sun Tea.

the chickens are laying hard boiled eggs 

Forget about that hot weather for now and enjoy some great items from the Vintage Vertigo Team members. Remember to click on the image or link for further information about each item. Here's a little holiday music to get you in the mood! And perhaps a snow scene will help cool you off....

 

Remember when it was like this......

Snow piled high.... more snow than you knew what to do with.  Alright, well not all of you had snow.... those who live in our southern states can only imagine what it might be like. In fact you might be craving some of those cool temperatures about now.

So, come with me as we enjoy some Christmas In July offerings!
