Inquiring minds want to know...


Hi friends!
A few of you have asked about purchasing wreaths like the one I made for my front door. I am excited about your inquiries, and would absolutely love to talk to anyone who is interested!

You will need to provide the supplies (flowers, ribbon, Styrofoam ring), or we can schedule a shopping date :) I have done some pricing research and will charge approximately $25 for time and labor. So... give me a call [401.7166] or send me an email ~ amanda.elizabeth.barfield@gmail.com

I look forward to hearing from you! Thanks so much for your interest!

Happy Sunday!

MOTHER – [verb] to care for or protect

On the eve of Mother’s Day 2010, I want to take a moment to acknowledge and appreciate the women in my life. As women, it is our nature to nurture. We “mother” the children in our lives, out of love, concern, joy, and even obligation. Who have you cared for or protected over the years? Who have you mothered? Celebrate the beauty of those precious and priceless relationships. Know that you - YOU! - have made a difference in someone’s journey.

"One hundred years from now, it will not matter what my bank account was, how big my house was, or what kind of car I drove. But the world may be a little better, because I was important in the life of a child." [Forest Witcraft]

Happy Mother’s Day, my friends… to each and every one of you!

Dear friends...


Please say a prayer for the Gulf Coast ~ our waters, our people, our wildlife. The devastating oil spill that resulted from the tragic explosion and fire on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico is already impacting the shrimpers, oystermen, fisheries, seafood and tourist industries in our area.
Many of those who will feel the heaviest impact have not yet recovered from hurricanes Ivan and Katrina.

“Build up hope so you'll [we’ll] all be together in this, no one left out, no one left behind. I know you're [we’re] already doing this; just keep on doing it.”
[1 Thes.5:11]

Many thanks for your prayers and support ~ aeb
