Beautiful Texas

My boss took me to Fort Worth this week for a Social Media Conference - We stayed down town...I had never  been downtown...How perfect! I took pics just about everywhere and really enjoyed Sundance Square. Fun Fun! ( I also posted our trip to Cabbage Rose Quilt Shop @ Stitchin' Heaven Howdy)
 This mural was so beautiful - a larger pic is on the Stitchin' Heaven Howdy Blog
 At the top you can see the little knight guarding the city
 I love clocks and think I need to find one a little smaller for my house. What do you think?
 This guy had to be about 50-75 feet tall. He's in the Barnes & Noble store - its two story - below is how he stands through both stories

 These were just some of the beautiful old buildings
 Bad pic - but can you see the angels with their trumpets on the site of the building? There were two! So beautiful!
 Those horses were inside the hotel (Hilton) Made of barbed wire and that's my boss, Deb! :)

We, of course, dined at some great places like Cantina Laredo (gourmet mexican with excellent Margaritas) and Salt Grass (rustic steak house) on the way home!

As always, something or someone inspires me. Aside from the beauty of Fort Worth, and that clock that I must find a smaller version of....I leave you with this:

"Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Joplin Relief

Most of us are aware of the disaster the tornado brought to Joplin Missouri and several other cities and states last month.
Stitchin' Heaven has partnered with The Quilt Shoppe to gather goods for those who are suffering from loss.  Check out the post I wrote on Stitchin' Heaven Howdy to get more information on what we are gathering, how you can donate and to where.
Anything and everything is deeply appreciated. Its amazing how we all come together to help and there is never a shortage of people willing to do their part. Thank you!
You can grab the button, also, to show your support. If you have other groups that are gathering donations that you'd like to share, please leave a comment or email me at nichole@stitchinheaven.com and I'll be sure to spread the word!

ps....My brand new digital camera died on me and am waiting for a new one....Hence the lack of posts. So upset....:( But I have a couple of great recipes to share and don't forget to stop by my Willow House Store to check out the great deals going on for June!
Happy Summer!
