Weekend with the Women's Club...

 My sweet friend Regina invited me to the annual Fall Festivities at the local Women's Club.

This is a local organization that does a lot of volunteer work and gives back to the community through service and donations.
They are also avid supporters of their own and women's businesses in the community.
She invited me to give me a little exposure for my business and I fell in love with those women IMMEDIATELY!

They are precious!


Regina sells Scentsy products and this was her booth.  Her Mother-in-law was there, too.  Her MIL used to be in my aerobics class that I taught a few years ago.  It was so great to see her again!  It made me miss that part of my life to see her again.  We loved meeting to work out together.  Now that I am doing gentler exercise like walking and Pilates I could never keep that pace again I am afraid.  LOL  It is sure hard on the joints but it was very fun when I taught it.


 There were some other favorite booths and stops I made throughout the morning.
Another local lady makes glycerin soaps that are just lovely!  Her name is Kim and she can be found at www.kimsoapbox.com

 There was a bake sale filled with beautiful baked goods made by the members

 Another annual event they do is a Granny's Attic Sale.  This is a collection of items the ladies donate to sell for charity.  They had some very beautiful things.  

 I found a little French Press for $5.00... I will share that on another post.

 They also offer one weekend a year Tea Room to raise money for charity and again, the ladies make all the food and serve you.  It was fabulous!

 Lovely tables...

 Lovely meal... a chili relleno style casserole, fruit salsa and chips

Lovely dessert... Lemon Chess Pie and coffee

I loved going out and supporting this group of women!  It was a wonderful time had by all.

Then you will love this!!!

Well if you go right now or sometime before Friday the 29th

to The Celebrity Italian Table

When you do they will donate a $1.00 to America's Second Harvest.

This is being sponsored by Barilla - the pasta company.

Check out their website for fun stuff, too!

Cannot beat that deal!!!



Also, you might want to check out the Whole Grains Council
and see what they have been up to and learn more
about adding whole grains to your daily diet.

It is also that time of year again...

...when we, as gardeners and organic growers, are planning that summer garden
to sustain us through those bountiful months.

I found this really cool website called Kitchen Gardeners International
and they have a page on organic gardening.
