Let me just start this post by saying a HUGE ‘thank-you’ to all of you for your support during my surgery and recovery. Whether through your cards, visits, phone calls, prayers or even yummy boxes of fresh pears you friends have encouraged my family and I in ways I can’t begin to express. Thank you also for your patience with the shop being closed while I heal. I still have a long way to go BUT I’m so excited to announce that we are OPEN again!! Yay!!

To show my gratitude for your kindness and patience I wanted to do an awesome giveaway for you guys!! There will be over $50 in prizes given away! Enter the giveaway below!

1st prize is our April Softness Yarn wreath valued at $45! Welcome the outdoors, inside, with this luxurious wreath! A simple wreath is wrapped by me in the softest of yarns and then adorned with star anise (hand selected by me) and made to look like spring blossoms. The colors of the yarn fade gently like spring buds from soft purples, greens and blues to pinks, roses, beiges and creams. It features a delicious off white ribbon making it ready to hang right in your home. What a wonderful way to spice up a wall in your home! Don’t forget about Mother’s Day and win this just for Mom!

2nd prize is a yummy $10 gift card from Starbucks since, well, we just love our coffee around here!

Come by the shop to say hello and spruce up your home just in time for Spring! Don’t forget to get a jump on one of the holidays below!
May 10th – Mother’s Day
June 21st – Father’s Day
May – June – Graduation

Blessings to you friends, (and good luck!)

10 lessons from my crutches…

April 21st, 2015 | Posted by Spice Grove Designs in Healthy Living | Inspiration from others | Spice Grove Designs - (4 Comments)

1. Crutches enable one to play a mean game of kickball, soccer, or any ‘ball’ game where you can hit a ball with a crutch!
2. They make awesome sock ‘pick-er-up-er’s’ when trying to do laundry.
3. They are capable of pushing/pulling many different items around the house when said item can’t be picked up.
4. Who knew they would be awesome tickle sticks??
5. They don’t work so well when the 3-year-old has figured out that she is just outside of the radius of your crutches.
6. They also don’t allow you to sneak up on an unsuspecting family member due to their loud squeaking.
7. They make great grocery bag holders when opening doors!
8. They can and will fall out of your grasp at the worst possible time.
9. I’ve found that sometimes folks will go out of their way to help you when on crutches.
10. If you’re on them long enough there are some neat ‘tricks’ you can do on them. (Please don’t let my Dr.’s know about this!)

I sincerely hope this brought a smile to your face and a chuckle to your day friends!! Have a great day!

Blessings to you friends,
