Last week had it's series of ups and it's downs. Most of the week was spent reassembling my computer as it had a total crash and was wiped clean. Many terrified days later we seem to be mostly intact......prayers answered. On the plus side I was thrilled to win a gorgeous upholstered bench on a favorite blog, The Enchanted Home, it pays to comment! And for great news this week, my cast comes off, a long 6 weeks! Some sort of walking boot is next, freedom!! Now, if Spring will appear.......... It is the most feminine of seasons, light, airy and bursting with all manner of pastels Crab apples, and well any flowering tree for that matter, can be the foundation for a floral arrangement Tulips are perfectly wonderful from the market, particularly if you have these bad boys! And deer, and sometimes squirrels. On our property I have both bunnies and tulips. How? We do not have a lawn service, hence no chemicals. What is then prevalent is clover, their hands down favorite food......nothing else is touched Sandra Mehl, in the shop, just sent me this image, her latest watercolor. As soon as she gets him framed, this guy will grace our walls, while looking for a good home. Your safer bet is daffodils, never bothered by marauders Or Scilla Scilla, en masse As the birds are furiously building nests, give them a hand.......imagine, all this intricacy, without hands Set out your dryer lint on top of some shrubbery, or nestled in tree limbs. The hatchlings will thank you. The Amy Howard gold leaf will be perfect for this application, cannot wait to try! Spring contributes to such lovely tablescapes Washi tape flags These charming table votives are new to the nest candle line and just arrived. Diminutive in size with a very subtle hint of an herbal scent. Pretty lined down a table. The new season is nearly here when our topiaries begin to arrive. Nothing change an interior like fresh, live greens Cheers! Debra
