How The Apple Tree Was Born
If I had to describe my family in a just a few words, it would be . “The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far From The Tree”. Probably because we have heard this all of our life.
We were fortunate to be born into a very close and Christian family. Growing up in the country can bring out your creative side because sometimes, there was just not that much to do. Christmas Eve day for me usually consisted of making presents for every one and trying to stay out of Momma’s hair while she cooked and prepared for the big family gathering that night . The stocking that I made for them one year out of a really nice set of sheets and one of Mommas expensive blouses still hangs over the fire place every year, to this day. She was not even mad . Bless her heart . I have an older brother and a sister . I was born late In life or as I like to call it , A pleasant surprise. My father is a jack of all trades , who passed the go, go, go and project all the time gene down to the three of us. Our obsessive need to constantly begin and invent new things that will temporarily quench our creative thirst came from Daddy. Our love for beauty , tranquility and comfort came from Momma. In September of 2009 just a few days before my 30th birthday our Mother passed away from a long battle with breast cancer. The four of us held together tight in love and prayer waiting for the healing to come. With time the healing began and life continued . At this time with hearts broken and our eyes wide open to a whole new world we began to make more time for the things we love, which are family and our creative gifts from God. Put these together and this is how Apple Tree began, a combination of Fine Arts , Unique Furniture, Frames and Photography. Three things that bring Beauty, Tranquility and Comfort to the home just as Momma did for us.
In Memory of our loving mother :
