Fall Door Hangers

Even though it is 100 degrees today here in the deep South, Fall will be here before we know it! Hopefully Fall will bring cooler temperatures! Party of Tew Designs has new seasonal door hangers to help you decorate for Fall.

Each design is made to order and can be personalized with the name, phrase or initial of your choice.

If you like, the pumpkins can be made reversible so your door hanger can serve double duty for both Halloween and Thanksgiving i.e. Boo! on one side and Happy Thanksgiving! on the other.

Of course, Fall means its time for another football season! Brad has literally been counting down the days until kick-off of the opening game. He has been getting ready by watching Auburn practice via the Internet each evening when he gets home from work. Talk about a dedicated fan.

Designs ship within 2-3 days of your purchase. Order your football designs now so you will have them for the first game!

The football can be customized with your favorite team's battle cry/slogan and colors. Please let me know if you have any questions (partyoftew@gmail.com) and I hope you will visit my shop soon!

Here I Am!

You've probably been wondering what in the world has happened to us. Well our computer bit the dust then we were plagued with never-ending Internet problems. Once the technical difficulties were resolved and the computer was up and running, I decided to be just plain lazy.

But never fear-we are back! I know you have been waiting on pens and needles!haha:) There is lots to share so stay turned for more posts. In the meantime, below is a sampling of what we have been up to...

Independence Day on the Coast

Party of Tew spent the Fourth of July at Dauphin Island with Brad's family. I would have posted pics sooner but our home laptop has bit the dust which makes emailing and blogging a bit tricky.

Addi Girl soaked up the sun and the surf like a little water baby. Here is a snapshot of our laid back holiday...

Hippy Hop Party for Frances

Yesterday we hopped on over to the Busbee's for this little rabbit's first birthday party.

Lauren had everything decorated beautifully to coordinate with the rabbit theme. Lots of creative party decor ideas!










Walker and Kathryn's birthday party was also this weekend and they still had their awesome slip and slide rented. After Frances cake was cut, the kids - notice Brad is the biggest kid of all- wasted no time slipping on their swimsuits.

Unfortunately, Party of Tew missed the twin's bday party but I'm sure the Busbee Buzz will have a write-up of the weekend festivities soon:) Happy Birthday kiddos!

Condo Makeover, Flea Market and a Mass Grave

Has my title left you curious? Hold on to your hats people. This is going to be a long one. Last weekend, my aunts, grandmother, sister and mother enjoyed a girl's trip to Nashville. On the schedule: Eat, Flea Market, Visit Mallory, Eat and a surprise trip to a graveyard...more on that later.

First stop was Stan's in Columbia, Tennessee - "The Mule Capitol of the World." We had a hearty country breakfast at this roadside restaurant and I was tempted to leave with this mug.

Second stop: Flea market at the Tennessee State Fair Grounds. If you have never experienced the Nashville Flea Market you are missing out. The market is held the last weekend of every month and you can find some great deals on one of a kind items.

Below is a little sampling of some favorite finds...

Third Stop: McDougal's for lunch. We all cleaned our chicken finger baskets and even polished off the free soft serve that comes with each meal.

Fourth Stop: My sister Mallory's condo. You may remember, my sister is a newlywed, a nurse and living in Nashville.

For the last several months, she has been on a quest to decorate her condo and I think it has turned out so cute!

Below is a peak inside...











Fifth Stop: Maplewood Confederate Cemetery in Tulahoma, Tennessee. This was the final item on the itinerary and a big surprise to me. I didn't know I would be wrapping up the day with a walk through a mass grave.

You see my Great Aunt Charlotte has spent the last two years researching our family's history. Her studies have taken her to courthouses and cemeteries all over the state. She recently discovered that my great, great, great, great grandfather, John C. Blackmon, was a confederate solider that was buried in a mass grave after a battle near Tullahoma.

Since the cemetery was only an hour out of the way, we took the detour to document this part of our family's history.

Here are all the girls a little worse for wear at the end of the day. From left to right: My cousin Anna, Aunt Charlotte, Aunt Beth, Sister Mallory, my Mom, Yours Truly, Aunt Donna and Granny Ham. I'm so blessed to be apart of a close-knit, large family that loves any excuse to get together. Thanks for a fun weekend girls!
