Product Spotlight: Eyelet Ribbon Plate

Yum! Don't you love the look of hummus and spicy dip served on our Eyelet Ribbon Plate, today's Product of the Week? Heavy glass means you can use it as a plate or tray. Willow House tied on a fun herb bouquet here, but you could also run a ribbon through the plate's eyelets to add a pop of color.

This has been a customer favorite this fall, several of you have purchased it as your Customer Special. At $39.96 retail ($19.98 as a Special), you'll get your money's worth back out of it at every occasion. How would you use it?

My Baby Turns 15 today!

Isn't it funny how long 15 years can seem in one breath, and how short it feels when you celebrate your oldest child's birthday?

My beautiful Emily, pictured here from Homecoming last year, is an amazing person. Her style is so unique - and she pulls it off somehow, too. I could never look as cute with purple highlights, spiky hair, or combat boots, yet she is never afraid to be true to herself and who she is.

Emily makes me so proud every day. Even when she thinks she's let me down, I'm proud to call her my daughter. She is one of the most sensitive, caring people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. While she doesn't have hundreds of friends, those that do know her are lucky that she calls them friend. She will always look to protect them and loves them more than she loves herself.

What a talented artist she is, too. Her gift for seeing details in her drawings and photography blow me away. While I appreciate that God gave me a gift for design, I know he passed a piece of that on to my dear daughter so that she could help the world see it "her way".

Again, Happy Birthday to the light of my life, my dear, sweet daughter. She will do amazing things and touch many lives, whether she realizes it or not. How Blessed we are!
