Meet Flossie, my awesome helper. She cuts cookies and cheese wafers with more precision than I ever could. My hands, neck and shoulders are grateful for her arrival!! I can’t wait to see what adventures lie ahead with her help! She is named Flossie in honor of a great X2 aunt ,who first inspired me to bake. Although she had no children, she was a mother to many, especially me. She was very much ahead of her time in many ways, being the first nurse anesthetist in Macon in 1942. By the early 1970s, when I was a young girl, she was retired. In my time visiting her we baked to entertain ourselves and because she had a sweet tooth. In her kitchen, I was allowed much freedom. There was no need of perfection, just love and laughter. The baking project I remember most was the cake that fell in the middle. We turned that cake into a masterpiece by filling the hole with enough lemon glaze icing that plastic ducks could swim in it. My time with her was simply two ordinary people sharing ordinary moments in God’s perfect timing and plan for each of us. Thank you for following the journey.

Come with me to Dunwoody Georgia to an extraordinary gift shop called The Enchanted Forest. This gift shop lives up to its name! It’s a high-end store filled with reasonable prices on any gift you could imagine for anyone. The vibe is modern and upbeat with focus on personal care for their customers. Visit them when you are in their area!
The Enchanter Forest is owned by Elizabeth Morris and her mom, Kay Underwood. Both are former educators who have a heart for serving people. The business began in 2005 and has been at its current location 2009. Elizabeth and Kay carry their love for serving people beyond their customers by being involved with Cure Childhood Cancer. They partner on their annual Quiet Heros Luncheon that honors moms who have lost children to cancer or are currently undergoing cancer treatments. Elizabeth and Kay are part of creating gift bags for the sweet moms. Elizabeth found our GA Grown specialty products online. Once she had our products in her store, she knew they would be an addition to the gift bags. We were thrilled to be selected by Elizabeth as a tiny part of this ministry! We’ve enjoyed meeting and partnering with The Enchanted Forest! Thank you for traveling on this journey with us as God leads us to just the right places at just the right time. Until next time
