<span style="font-size: large;">Selfishly, I get to read the recipes in the magazines before a lot of you do because they send us early copies as a "Thank You" for letting them borrow our antique pieces.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I hope you don't get tired of looking at art! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I feel like lately that is what most of my posts are about but it's what I do!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> And it's truly what I love doing! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I really enjoy each artist that we represent in my shop </span><span style="font-size: large;">and we are so happy to introduce</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Vesela Baker!</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Vesela is originally from Bulgaria which is where she studied art but she and her husband currently live in Chattanooga, Tennessee. She is truly a delightful person and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting her officially for the first time yesterday at our "Fall In Love With Art" show. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Truthfully, I felt honored that she joined us as she does not usually do many shows. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">She and her husband work together as a team...he builds the frames, she paints the beautiful paintings and then they use a technique which has been quite popular where they finish it off with an epoxy finish. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">To say the result is stunning is putting it mildly!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A day early, mind you! Vicki Denaburg lives right here…right down the road from me so she was able to bring most of her pieces ahead of time!

<span style="font-size: large;">So, that's it in a very large nutshell! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">My artists and me! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Loving every minute of it and trying to share it with all of you! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I am forever grateful for each and every one of them! Without their art I</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">would be really sad and just be a shop. With their art I can be the gallery that I desire to be. Most of all…I want to be their friend and share life long memories! I love the way we laugh and share with each other! I love that I truly think of them as my friend first and an artist in my shop second. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Life is too short to not enjoy doing what you love! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I was so excited to see this issue of Birmingham Home and Garden that I immediately began this blog post! Then…life happened I guess because it's <i>still</i> sitting here and I'm determined to let you see it today!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">One of my favorite designers in Birmingham is <a href="http://www.markkennamerdesign.com/">Mark Kennamer…</a>he is also a friend and makes me happy every time I see him! He just has that way about him! When he first brought in his customer, Angela Mitchell I was immediately drawn to her as well and now she is also someone I can call a friend!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The two of them certainly work well together! Take a look at Angela's dream home... The grown-up home is a description that fits it quite well! I could certainly enjoy being in this home and never leaving. Jean Allsopp's photography once again makes everything shine!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Being on such a beautiful lake as Lake Guntersville only adds to its beauty!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I remember meeting Mark at a Decorator's Show House Meeting years ago and he couldn't have been nicer…luckily I still get to see him when he comes in the shop. He and Angela had such a good time together on this house and it shows…the pieces they chose for each room are simply magnificent! I love the fabric choices as well and as Mark states in the article the velvet on the sofas will only become more beautiful over time. Even with life on a lake!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">That's what we've all heard before and been taught, right? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> It's actually very hard to do and something I had to come to grips with this summer when my sweet "Assistant" for at least 12 years decided to do the unthinkable! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">She retired and moved to the lake! How dare her! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In all seriousness as sad as I was to see her go I was also very happy and excited for her and her husband! What a dream come true! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">However, I was also a little panic stricken I don't mind telling you! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Me? Run things alone? How could I do that? My mind was racing and yet I knew that I had several sweet women working part time that would most definitely be there beside me. For that, I am forever grateful! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Between Alison, Aimee and Gigi I felt quite certain we could manage! And for a while, Alison stepped in and we thought she would be working full time. Plans change and lives change and I had to really learn to roll with the punches when Alison was offered another job. Again, Lord? I'm not sure I can do that! But….I knew the Lord would be faithful and He was! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">He provided the two perfect people for me and I am forever grateful!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Sweet Aimee is able to work on Mondays and hopefully fill in more as we get accustomed to this new life at Mulberry Heights! She is such a perfect fit at the shop and even better…she is Pattie's niece! And go figure…right when Alison resigned Gigi had just resigned from her full time position somewhere else. Now I really knew God had a plan all along but this just confirmed it! Gigi has fit right in as our "full time" person and is taking charge as if it were her own. Which is exactly what Pattie always did! </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So, thank you, Gigi and Aimee! I am one blessed lady that is so excited that you are both the new "Faces of Mulberry"! I hope that you are half as excited as I am! I'm looking forward to all that God has in store for us! For you personally and for the shop! I will promise to appreciate all that you do for me and for my business and I pray that we will become dear friends just like Pattie and I are! ( I refuse to say "were")</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Do you see what I see? And no…it's not a star! It's the date on this Coastal Living magazine! 2002! That's how long I keep my favorite magazines and refuse to throw them out! Just two weeks ago we went to our beach house to replace a few things…while cleaning out I found this copy of the Coastal Living that was the inspiration to how I decorated our home at the beach.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I love that we were able to incorporate the old with new. I love that we've always collected items from places we have visited…like these shell prints from St. John. Memories were made there and will someday be someone else's treasured antiques perhaps!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">For now, I'm just glad that I still love the 2002 Coastal Living article that fueled the fire so to speak! And I'm glad that my love for antiques can still be appreciated no matter what home we find ourselves in! This antique painting above is the perfect example of combing the old with the new…to me at least!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> It hangs in my daughter's bedroom at the beach and will always remind me of the time I fell in love with sailboats and all things "beachy"</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This summer really started off with a bang....and now it seems to be fizzling out! Actually, I'm pretty sure it's been "sizzling" here in Alabama thanks to our relentless heat and humidity!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> But...<strike>I'm not complaining! </strike></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm actually just taking a break today as we seem to have been on a fast track pace these last few weeks. Today I finally sat down to just re-group. In the past 3-4 weeks we have helped our daughter and her husband pack up their house in New Orleans to move to Houston, driven to Fairhope, Al and then on to our beach place in Destin, FL and then flown to Houston to help get them settled. On top of all of that my dear, faithful employee sold her house and retired from my shop last week. To say it's been a roller coaster ride of emotions is putting it lightly!</span><br />
( oh, did I mention the stress of watching your son apply to medical school?)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Therefore....I decided today to think back to that wonderful week of vacation we had in Kiawah Island, South Carolina while attending a beautiful wedding in Charleston this past April.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Well, that's all I've got for now! Thankful for these wonderful memories to reflect on and thankful for that time we got to spend together alone on Kiawah as well as with family and friends in Charleston. And yes, just relaxing and reflecting today has already made my spirits feel a little lighter and better!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">That being said, I think I will let my artist's paintings speak for themselves! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There are a lot of paintings on here so the less I say the better! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Just thought you'd like to see a sampling from our Southern Strokes art show last week. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Let's begin with our newest artist at Mulberry, Amy Crews! Here are several pieces she brought and she is also pictured here with our Governor's wife. Because she is from Alabama and is so well known she was commissioned by them to paint a beautiful work for the Governor's Mansion in Montgomery, Alabama. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I wish all of my friends…near and far could join us this Thursday! The first reason being is that I have always wanted to truly meet all of my blogging friends that I've made over the years and put a real face with the name! </span><span style="font-size: large;">You all have been such an inspiration in so many ways!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The second reason is that I truly believe the artists that we carry are amazing! In so many ways! What a privilege it is to carry so much talent in one little shop!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> And to think we are adding another wonderfully talented and gifted artist this time!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">So, we've been busy preparing for this wonderful event!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Please join us if you can! You will certainly not be disappointed! Help us spread the word if you can…while I definitely want to promote the artists and their gorgeous pieces of art I also want to benefit The Wellhouse…</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Thursday, May 14th</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">11:00-4:00pm</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As always, it will be a fun time of meeting the artists as well as seeing their work up close and personal! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Yummy food is always served and this time a portion of the proceeds will go to help our friends at The Wellhouse.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ok…I know that I've been very unfaithful when it comes to blogging in the last few months. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have to admit, I get bored easily…and if life isn't exciting…then in my mind…it isn't worth telling! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Not necessarily always true! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Recently, I had the joy and pleasure of being one of the people that got an advance copy of 'Dear Carolina' by fellow blogger, Kristy Harvey. To say that I was tickled pink is putting it lightly! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When I received Kristy's email explaining the entire premise of the book…I knew! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I knew in my heart I wouldn't be able to put it down! I mean really…not only does it have my favorite version of my name in the title…it takes place in my favorite region of the South…and more importantly it speaks to my heart because of the subject matter. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Give me a needy soul, a willing and able rescuer and good design and I am hooked! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Both Jodi and Khaki were such believable characters…there was nothing but honesty and love flowing throughout the entire book.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">However, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I wonder…when this book was written was anyone in the forefront of the author's mind? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I highly doubt I was! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I couldn't have written a better fiction version of this story if my life had depended on it! And I bet Kristy never thought that one of her fellow bloggers would so relate to this book that they couldn't put it down..</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strike>wouldn't put it down! </strike></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When I say that I hung on every word that Kristy wrote..I am not lying! I'm thankful! I'm so very thankful for a book that spoke volumes to making wise decisions…to making a decision that chose life…even if it meant going the extra mile and thinking beyond yourself. It meant making a decision that was best for the child. This book takes us into the lives of both the birth mom and the adoptive mom. But the best part of the book…the part that makes me the proudest as a mom faced with similar issues... is that she chose life! And even though there were the obvious other options…she was unselfish and unwavering. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have never looked back. Obviously, I didn't face the same financial situations and was brought up by an incredible family and was blessed beyond measure with supportive friends and a husband that loved me more than I could ever have dreamed of or hoped for. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And still does. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My point being, there is hope in even the most hopeless of situations. I have learned that as I have grown older and I see now that all that we went through only helped to grow us stronger…together as a couple but also as individuals. It has served us well…I truly wouldn't trade it for anything!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Thank you, Kristy for writing something so heartfelt that it made me go back and re-live my own struggles. And it made me happy and sad all at the same time. Not really sure if that makes perfect sense to anyone but me but that's ok! The book was perfect!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And if you will take the time to go to Kristy's blog <a href="http://www.kristywoodsonharvey.com/blog">HERE</a> you can see it for yourself!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Much love,</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Several years ago I was blessed to meet Lauren Dunn.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What I wish more than anything is that one day….Lauren and I can share that story! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Our friendship was born from a love of art…and for that I am forever grateful! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She is truly an angel and such a gifted artist!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Her paintings convey her love of everything that she holds dear. Faith, family, friendships and fun! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And guess what? When I look at any given painting of hers that is exactly what I see and feel!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I am forever grateful that Lauren Dunn chose our shop to be represented in and I pray that we can hold up to our end of the bargain!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Just look at that beautiful smile! Lauren is as genuine as you get. Pretty is as pretty does as I've always been told! And if this southern girl is anything…she is as pretty on the inside as she is on the outside! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I was so excited when one of the stylists from Cottage Living came to our last art show. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Lauren was painting away to show our customers how it is done and the stylist was busily asking me all of Lauren's information.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> I am so glad they were able to capture her charm and skills in this wonderful article! Especially in her very own home!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">For many years I have admired the gorgeous work of designer Jan Showers. Now that </span><span style="font-size: large;">I am sitting here in the midst of a 'Winter Storm Warning' that so far has just produced a lot of cold rain where I live I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the latest issue of Elle Decor magazine. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Take a look at the Houston home of her daughter, Susanna Showers Moldawer. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The very first page shows us a glimpse of the beautiful library in the distance as well as the living room that hosts this pair of sunburst mirrors from the Jan Shower's Collection. My eyes immediately were drawn to the pair of Dutch Marquetry chairs and rightfully so! They were passed down from Susanna's mother in law. I think they are stunning!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's hard to imagine that when Susanna first walked into the home when it for sale she didn't like it at all! It just goes go to show you what two wonderful design minds can do! Especially when one of them is Jan Showers! For years I have admired her work and just recently began wanting to carry a few of her pieces in my shop. I will most definitely have to look into it! I love that she chose the sunny or "fun" yellow as she puts it because it reminded her of her daughter's personality!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Isn't this table beautiful? It is also from the Jan Showers Collection. As pretty as it is the article states that it is truly "used" everyday by her family...even for doing homework much to her mother's dismay! But...if you've got a growing family a house truly needs to be livable and not untouchable in my opinion.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Color attracts people just as all an all neutral pallete does. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I've never understood how two such polar opposites could make me love them? </span><span style="font-size: large;">But they do!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I tend to gravitate toward the neutrals but the color in design sure does make me "feel" happy!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We basically just took our time and strolled ( actually, we ran! ) through market this time.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Until next time…let us know what you are looking for these days in terms of design? Do you like color or neutral? Do you like antiques or modern? Or, are you like me and you like the simple mix of both. It's really not a complicated decision. My advice has always been to buy what you love and design according to your own lifestyle…after all…it's you that will be living in it!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Even after all of these years the whole reason I love the movie, "You've Got Mail" is because it makes me remember exactly why and how much I truly do love my shop. There are times lately that I want to to throw in the towel and give up. But then I remember 'The Shop Around The Corner'. I remember the people that I've met along the way, the stories I've been told and the memories that are forever stored in my brain! I wouldn't trade them for the world! I owe a huge "Thank You" to all of YOU and all of our customers that have made it worth the while to keep Mulberry Heights Antiques open. Without you, we would be nothing but a shop….around the corner. </span></span></div>

I like to try to see if I can guess which song it is when I see her titles. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Sure would be a great Chick Fil A painting tho…."Really Kevin?"

<span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes during these summer months when everyone is on vacation it's hard to get people to stop by and take the time to read your blog posts…I get it! I really do! I'm guilty of that myself especially these days when time seems to be of the essence! However…when Shelley of <a href="http://calypsointhecountry.blogspot.com/">Calypso In The Country</a> tagged me in this post I had the best time really getting to know her! Sometimes in blogland we consider ourselves friends with so many people…when in reality we are truly friends with only a few! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Shelley has ALWAYS been there for me with sweet comments and really takes my love of country music to heart! LOL! </span><span style="font-size: large;">Shelley is amazing and we seemed to have become friends right from the start! Therefore, when she tagged me in this post I was more than excited to participate! I hope you will be as well! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">HERE WE GO!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">1. ARE YOU NAMED AFTER SOMEONE?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">No, I think my mom just liked the name Carolyn. Her second choice was Shara which is so odd being that my best friend once I was grown up was named Sharon, born in the same hospital in Memphis, ( we lived in Birmingham at this point) and our moms had the same OBGYN! Our birthdays are March 6, 1964 and April 6, 1964…we didn't meet until 1983 and now our sons are best friends and roommates at college.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would say to that…when was the last time I DIDN'T cry? I cry at everything these days! My oldest son and his wife and my granddaughter have been in Europe for the past week and half…and they are having fun but the trip is leading up to my granddaughter's major surgery for her bilateral cleft lip and pallete…her surgery is in Italy this Wednesday! I would love your prayers! Her doctor is amazing…it's just hard to think of her going through something so hard without all of us there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">3. DO YOU HAVE KIDDOS?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, I have LOTS of Kiddos! I thought I had 3 until they grew up! Now I have at least 5! My oldest son is married and his wife is my other daughter…her name is Britney and she was the one I used to beg my son to ask out in high school! He was too nervous to ask her out! They started dating their freshman year at Auburn! I will never forget that phone call in the fall of their freshman year when Mitch said to me on the phone, "You will never guess who I'm dating!" Their daughter is amazing! She is 7 now! My only grandchild and I love her more than life itself! My daughter married her high school sweetheart so he is also my son! I love him to pieces! He fit right in our family as did Britney. Our youngest son is still in school at Auburn and is dating our dream girl for him! Her mom and I have been friends since Jr. High! Go figure! God has blessed us tremendously with wonderful spouses for our children and a wonderful girlfriend for our youngest son….I will keep you posted! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">4. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE A FRIEND TO YOURSELF?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At first I thought this was such a weird question until I really thought about it! And Shelley answered it perfectly! Of Course! If I said no I would have some serious issues!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">5. DO YOU HAVE A GUILTY PLEASURE?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really can't think of one except that I sincerely love time alone…and I mean ALONE!!! I love being with my husband and my children and my family and friends but I LOVE BEING ALONE!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">6. DO YOU LIKE HANDWRITING?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know the answer to this is a hand written thank you note which I have always done and will always do…my kids grew up doing this and I think I've instilled that in MOST of them! However…I hate BAD handwriting! So…to that I say…if you don't know how to really write a great note…a sincere thank you note that is truly from YOU…don't write one! You will still be on my hit list…but at least you didn't write a bad note! ( obviously, we've just received several notes that weren't all that!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">7. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know I should be a cereal kind of gal….but in reality…I'm a protein kind of gal for breakfast! However…I love my oatmeal in the winter…HAS to be cold weather for me to eat oatmeal and I also love Basic Four or my new found fave…Whole Foods Blueberry Granola on top of yogurt!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">8. WHAT'S THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In all honesty? I notice if I like you or not! By that I mean…are you likable? Are you real? Are you pretending to be something you aren't? After that…I guess I notice if I like your outfit! LOL! But seriously, the outfit is last on my list!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">9. WHAT'S THE COLOR OF YOUR EYES?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blue…oh wait…green…oh wait…blue?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">10. SCARY MOVIE OR HAPPY ENDINGS?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Really, Kevin? I gave up on scary movies in the early 1980's with Halloween! I only watch Happy Endings! After all…isn't that what life is about?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">11. Favorite TV SHOWS</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Truthfully, we really don't watch tv anymore! Maybe that's because there isn't anything worth watching these days! I used to love Seinfeld, Friends, etc…now we buy series on Netflix like Castle…that's what we watch…my mom got us onto that and we are hooked! Yes, we are late in the game but that is par for the course with us for tv! We love watching 3 episodes of Castle almost every night!<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">12. SUMMER OR WINTER?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you know me even in the tiniest bit you would know….SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">13. HUGS OR KISSES?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've always been just a hugs kind of gal…much to my husbands dismay! LOL! But I do give him the majority of my kisses! The rest are planted right on Layton's cheeks!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">14. DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL TALENT?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would say not really….but, I love, love, love to write! you name it..poetry, short stories, cook books, etc…that is my love! I will have to agree with Shelley in the fact that I've always been known for my ability to read people as well! I really like that fact because it saves a lot of time and heartache on my part!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">15. WHERE WERE YOU BORN?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was born in Memphis, Tennessee and I wish a lot of my close relative were still alive for me to spend time with in Memphis. Seems we only go back for funerals or milestone birthdays now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">16. WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a lot of hobbies…hence the reason for my shop…born out of my hobby of loving antiques. Besides that I LOVE to blog, cook, entertain, workout, and spend time with my family!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">17. DO YOU HAVE ANY PETS?</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have two wonderful dogs! My Cavalier King Charles Spaniel whose name is Rosie and my sweet little 'Morkie' whose name is Zoie! Zoie actually saved me from an "intruder" this past Tuesday! I may do a post on that before too long….</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">18. FAVORITE MOVIE?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well that is SO EASY! I have several that I watch over and over and over….they are Sweet Home Alabama, Hope Floats and Somethings Got To Give…I could survive on those three if I had to!<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">19. WHAT COLOR IS YOUR CAR?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My car is gold…or taupe? it's in-between and I love it. It holds the record for the longest time I've ever had or loved the same car!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">20. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This may sound selfish or weird…but a better version of me. I love what I do, I love who I am and I certainly love my family and all that God has blessed me with. But if I could do any of it over…I would only want to do it better…but then I might not be the person I am today. I cannot hold regrets…although there are definitely things I would get rid of….God used those things in my life to get me where I am today. I can only hope and pray that I get to see where He takes me with the things that are in my life now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you will participate in "Being Tagged!" I sure loved getting to know Shelley even better and I really loved sharing myself with you! I would love to know your answers to some of these same questions! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you all have a wonderful Fourth of July as well! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now THAT is a reason to celebrate! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Happy Independance Day!</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's not often that something happens that I really don't want to attend when it involves antiques. I usually jump at the chance! However, when we were asked if we wanted to attend the Black Tie Event party on friday night before the Antiques Roadshow taping in Birmingham on Saturday we really didn't feel led to do so! In fact, we thought we were going to be at the beach. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, those plans fell through and the next thing I knew the editor of <a href="http://www.birminghamhomeandgarden.com/">Birmingham Home and Garden Magazine</a>, Cathy McGowin was calling and offering me her press pass to attend the actual event on Saturday in her place. Hmmm…this was too good to pass up and had me really excited!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The historic Alabama Theatre is so beautiful and such a part of our history in Birmingham. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Alabama Public Television hosted the show and they did an excellent job! As did the Antiques Roadshow Show Producer, Marsha Bemko and the executives from Cadence Bank. The host of the Antiques Roadshow, Mark Walberg made a brief appearance and did an excellent job! He literally ran in, gave his speech and ran out because they were also taping at the Civil Rights Museum. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Roadshow crew could not say enough incredible things about that museum. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm definitely looking forward to seeing that when it airs!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">While listening to each one talk I was truly almost in tears several times. I kept wondering, "Am I the only one inside this historic building that is about to cry?" I was once again reminded of why I got into the antiques business to begin with. Sure, there are many times I want to quit! When it is so slow in the summer…when your "stuff" doesn't seem to be selling, etc…However, my heart was stirred and my soul was touched with the words they each echoed. I thought to myself, this is me…it's who I've always been and antiques are what I've always loved.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">And I know this may sound corny…but when that organist began to play on "The Mighty Wurlitzer" I almost lost it! It's pretty cool when it rises up from beneath the stage and then you find out the history behind the organ. Did you know it is one of only three Wurlitzer's left in it's original spot? And it's right here in our wonderful city of Birmingham, Alabama!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It was a wonderful night all the way around! I have to say a HUGE Thank You to Cadence Bank! I had no idea that they were only giving away two door prizes and one was a gift certificate to my shop,<a href="http://www.mulberryheightsantiques.com/">Mulberry Heights Antiques</a> . The other was to Barton Clay Jewelers. The plug they gave for our shop was totally a shock to me and needless to say I was extremely grateful and humbled!</span></div>

I must give credit to AL.com for this photo and a few others. We actually were standing there at this point but their picture was much better than mine as you can imagine!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">At the insistence of Kate…a Roadshow staff member I got my picture made with Birmingham native <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/roadshow/appraisers/stuart-whitehurst/">Stuart Whitehurst</a>. He was such a nice guy…and he was actually the one that appraised my only item that was worth much! He loved this box below that once belonged to Jim's grandmother and gave us a lot of history behind it! One interesting fact was that it was made in Birmingham, England which Stuart thought was sort of ironic!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The other items I took didn't fare so well…however, it made me realize that I do know more than I give myself credit for when it comes to recognizing a true antique and I think I will feel a little more knowledgeable when people ask for my opinion in my shop. Each appraiser genuinely cared and definitely was an expert in his or her field! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">If you ever get the chance to attend an Antiques Roadshow event in your area it is so worth it! You will not be sorry! Yes, the odds of getting a ticket seem rather slim but you never know! And even if you get a "sad" appraisal as I did on an item that belonged to my great grandmother just remember…there is absolutely no value for sentiment. You just can't put a price on something that is special to you for any reason!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Yes, there is a first time for everything! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We got a new artist today! A local artist! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We are so excited!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And, I've never experienced a lazy summer until this summer! That's also a first!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I feel as if I'm on a Summer Staycation! Our beach house is rented out for most of the summer…I've worked through it…at least I've tried to!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But... because I'm here I've been blessed to meet Vicki Denaburg and get the privilege of carrying her gorgeous artwork in my shop! We are more than ecstatic! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I doubt I would've taken the time to search her out if I hadn't been in one place for this long!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We've had several wonderful artists over the years…and each one has blessed me and I hope that I've blessed them even in a little way. I'm forever grateful for all of them! Right now…I am overwhelmed at the fact that we get the wonderful privilege of representing Lauren Dunn, Melissa Payne Baker and now….Vicki! Vicki Denaburg is a little fireball…full of energy, bursting with creativity and one very special lady!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you don't believe me…come in and see for yourself! I knew we had an immediate kinship when I asked her how she names her paintings! When she answered me I wanted to fall on the floor AND call my son at the same time and tell him I'm not the only one! She likes to listen to country music…in fact, blare country music and see if a title hits her! I totally get it!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In fact, I get a lot of what our artists do..how they paint and how they express themselves! We all have ways that we express our creativity…some just better than others! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Lauren, Melissa and Vicki have us all beat in my opinion!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Vicki even paints places that are so near and dear to my heart! Like I said, we've had to put our beach house on the rental program for the first time and that has not been easy…I will not tell a lie! But looking at her painting of "Western Lake" near Seaside and Grayton Beach…makes me feel right at home!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Just as the newest painting that Lauren delivered this past Saturday 'Point The Way' reminds me so much of my roots! My dad is an avid hunter as was my grandfather and both of my boys…I grew up with hunting dogs so this speaks volumes to me!</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And just maybe…I will have to purchase some of Vicki's art to remind me that my beach house still awaits me…it may not be THIS summer…but it's always there in my heart! And I will most definitely be there this fall! My most favorite beach time!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">What is a proud mother to do? Especially when it's just the day after Mother's Day?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Well…I thought I just might share a beautiful project that <a href="http://www.birminghamhomeandgarden.com/vinBirmingham-Home-Garden/May-June-2014/An-Eye-for-Style/">Birmingham Home and Garden magazine</a> has featured this month! Yes, my angel baby…my son…is the 'Bradford' in <a href="http://www.saundersbradford.com/">Saunders Bradford</a>. Mitch and his business parter David have been building this company for at least 10 years! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I remember when they used to just dream about it! Now…it is definitely a reality!</span></div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This feature in Birmingham Home and Garden is the perfect example of why clients love to work with Mitch and David. <a href="http://www.birminghamhomeandgarden.com/">Cathy Still McGowin</a> and <a href="http://www.jeanallsopp.com/">Jean Allsopp</a> captured every detail perfectly! Cathy is such a gifted writer and editor and Jean is truly an icon in Birmingham with her gorgeous photos! Not a magazine article happens without her expertise in the photos! I'm so glad they both captured this so well!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The homeowner in this project definitely had been keeping great notes on what she wanted! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That certainly helps the builder when trying to incorporate every aspect that the homeowner desires. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It also is very helpful in creating dreams that come true!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">What a treat for a mother to see her son's name mentioned in making this dream kitchen happen! </span><span style="font-size: large;">I have to admit…I have collected pictures of Pamela Pierce's designs as well so I recognized it from the get go! In fact, you can see an earlier blog post on her right <a href="http://vintagemulberry.blogspot.com/2013/02/a-fresh-start-sounds-good.html">HERE!</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But to see that your son truly had such a hand in making this possible…well…this time I just couldn't help but be a proud mama! </span></div>

I hope you all had a very special Mother's Day in one way or another! You can click on any of the links I suggested above and spend many hours pouring over glorious homes and photos! Enjoy!</span></div>
