Welcome to Savannah Plush
I don't know a lot about Savannah Plush other than this workshop is awesome.. and the homeowners are the creative owners .. All of the pillows and
bags you see are theirs..
I could feel the creative energies just bouncing all around.
This place was made for creative souls to come alive..
They are still working on their web site you can read about their products here Savannah Plush                         

to the right of the workshop was beautiful sitting areas
and a big brick fireplace

I did not get a great picture of the fireplace
but do you see the sconces on it ...
They are grapes and some kind of gorgeous ...

isn't this beautiful .. I fell madly in love with
 all of the outdoor lighting ..

see told ya'll and there was 2 of them..
my girlfriend Bobbie would love these..

there was 3 or 4 different seating areas and lots of tables

Ta Da ...  my favorite piece of the day 

This piece was magnificent the pictures don't begin to show how awesome it really is..

An 1800's chicken coop original to the property..
Wish I had thought to sneak us a peek inside.

and lastly lots of cute little birdhouses hanging in a tree.. Which made me a little sad, my willow I lost this year had lots of little birdhouse chimes hanging in it
that I have really missed hearing....
Hope ya'll enjoyed..
 This was just the right side of the back yard ..lol
more tomorrow..
hugs and happy Sunday ya'll, Cherry

A play day in the Country

This was the first sight I saw as I rounded the corner
to my niece's home Saturday morning..
Her husband planted cotton for the first time this year...
As far as I could see was a sea of fluffy white cotton..


from across the pond the cotton looked like snow.

The purpose of this play day in the country was to try to get some pictures of my mom with my brother's grand babies..

Abbigail and her best friend Marley playing in the peanut hay her daddy grew this past summer.

It was a windy, cloudy day with a few rays of sun
 every so often

Pepper kept a close eye on us

Super dog

The cotton was lite as air ... Miss Maddie playing,
 hope she made a wish...

Taylor man sneakin some of uncle Mit Mit's cotton

Miss Bailey trying her best to hang onto hers.. the wind kept blowing it away.

after lots and lots of giggles

many funny faces from Mr. Kaiden

gobs of pictures


and a massive hay fight that I have to share more of with ya'll cause it was that awesome ....

I think we may have gotten some pretty pictures of momma with a few of her great grands.. 

I know my brother was sitting on one of those clouds with my daddy laugh and smiling the entire time.. 

Times like these are when I miss them the most ... 

Sending hugs and kisses to heaven and thanking the Lord above for every moment I get to spend with these sweet babies that are growing up way to quick...

Hope October was as sweet for each of you
 as it has been for me ..

Hello November ... hugs to each of you, Cherry

In Honor of the beautiful Tall ship ~ The HMS Bounty

The Bounty as some of you may remember is one of the beautiful Tall Ships that sailed into Savannah back in May, 

as she has done many times before. 

It was my first time getting to tour her and the others. 

You can read and see pictures of the

  Tall Ship Challenge here

It was magical watching as she and the others sailed out of Savannah on that misty, foggy morning

the sight was breathtaking and one I am so glad to have gotten to be apart of .

This morning Hurricane Sandy took this magnificent ship.. 

The crew had to abandon her. Reports say she went down very shortly after the crew had been rescued.

She will Sail on forever in the hearts of many....

This is the last entry on their web site ~ 

UPDATED NEWS!!!!!!!! We received a distress call for Bounty at 1830 Sunday evening October 28th that the Ship lost power and the pumps were unable to keep up with the dewatering. At that time we immediately contacted the USCG for assistance. A C130 was sent to there position approximately 90 miles SE of Cape Hatteras. At 0430 Sunday Morning the Captain ordered all hands to abandon ship. There are 17 Crew on board and at this moment all crew are accounted for and are in Life rafts. The first USCG helicopter has reached the ship and is in the process of rescuing them. Bounty is currently still floating upright and intact. We will keep everyone informed as info becomes available. 

Very sad .. thank the lord all are safe 

Please take a moment today to say a prayer for all those in the path of Sandy and to those of you that are please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and yours...

hugs, Cherry

Update ~ just after writing this post I  saw this .. sending prayers to all the crew and family members

14 rescued, 2 missing from tall ship off NC
