Okie Dokie...Here is my first ever, story for a contest!

Coming from a small farming community, Mary Jean Smith was ready to branch out and enjoy life...on her terms! She was born in the early 1950's and was just entering her early 20's when the "Make Love Not War"/Hippie movement started.

She joined a commune, changed her name to Sunbeam Rose Petal Gardner and soon found she loved growing and nurturing flowers.

By the disco era, she wanted out and purchased her first and only home. The single-wide "trailer" house was just what she was looking for! Over the years, she has furnished her home with finds from yard sales and freebies on the street. While she may physically live in the 21st century, her eccentric self still believes it is 1972! Her craft room is also her sales room and she makes a nice modest living from her flower sales.

She freshens her real rose petal rug every night so when she goes to bed she can fall asleep with her favorite fragrance. Of course, her outdoor patio is her favorite spot to relax and recharge!
