Pea Pie Children's Clothes

I have started hosting trunk shows for my new line. I am thrilled at how well it is going so far. I have even had 4 stores enquire about carrying this line, which is ahead of schedule for me and my business plan, but exciting nonetheless. It has been really fun so far and worth all the hard work I have put into it.


Visit peapiechildrensclothes.blogspot.com for more information on the line!

Trunk Show this weekend: Birmingham and Tuscaloosa

The Garden Way Cart....

My father is proud of his cart...here is his story behind it....

We got the Garden Way Cart in 1978 when we bought our house at Boley Creek, MS. It was made in Vermont and was shipped in a flat package ready for assembly. Over the years, many photos of Martin, Kathleen, their friends, relatives and various guests were taken in the cart, which we used for hauling toddlers, ice chests, inner tubes and other things down to the creek, for holding guns and ammo at skeet shooting parties, and for almost any other hauling chore you could name.

The cart moved to North Hollow when we sold Boley Creek in the 1990s, and continued to be used for moving a variety of things. It has resided at Bocage since 2005. It has had many new tires and repairs, but is still functional, and able to hold grandsons with no problems.

A Roux In A Cast Iron Skillet?

That's right, I've been home in Louisiana, found my cast iron skillet and got to making a roux, among other things, just like old times. Sometimes only this skillet will do. I got my own cast iron skillet when was 22, it was a Christmas present and purchased at Smith Hardware in Covington, La. My dad carefully showed me how to season it, clean it, and store it. I have packed my smaller one and it will be making it's way to HK soon. I am not sure if I could even find one in HK, didn't bother looking though cause I like mine, seasoned to perfection. These skillets get better with age and I look forward to aging mine with a little Cajun-Asian cuisine!
