Announcing: Peppermint Lane
A Nostalgic Holiday Boutique

Afton, Hillary and I enjoyed doing the Boutique together a couple weeks ago SO MUCH that we decided to try our hand at it, thus PEPPERMINT LANE was born!! Good friends Terri Hill and Bev Turley are also joining us.

It will be THIS coming SATURDAY from 8:00am - 5:00pm at our home!! (4051 E. Garnet Cr. Mesa--of Southern Ave. between Val Vista and Green field).

As you can see by some of the photos posted, it will be a little different AND unique to the "Boutique Scene". We are mixing hand crafted Holiday items with VINTAGE and RETRO items. Stroll with us down PEPPERMINT LANE and enjoy enough "eye candy" to really get you in that festive holiday mood!!

A FREE GIFT BAG of goodies awaits the first 25 customers!!




We will have a FREE RAFFLE for some nice door prizes!! Come ready to munch fresh baked goods (Afton will have her famous JUMBO POPCORN BALLS waiting) and shop with out pressure or stress!
'Tis the SEASON!!!

THANKS for ALL you did!!!!





Today is VETERAN'S DAY. We went in mass as a family to see my dad honored aS the GRAND MARSHAL ( an honor he well DESERVES!!!) of the City of Mesa Veteran's Day Parade. And while I wait to borrow photos (from my family that had the good sense to bring cameras) I can't let the day go by with out some kind of tribute to my dad! So Dad because of you I think we can all say...





























I have not been so good at taking time to post lately, with the BOUTIQUE Hillary , Afton and I just did, we're all POOPED out! But nothing can stop the ENTHUSIASM! We LOVED all working together!! I forgot my camera so I'll just show you all a couple of the items I took.
