Love this.



Love how they changed the tops of the veggies! Chives with carrots, watercress with spring onions... it must be imaginary vegetableville.


Have a great holiday weekend!

Hi there.


Scabiosa, thistle and mock orange wrapped in twine. I love making boutonniere's!

Sunprint Kit.


I just ordered one of these for my niece.


Technically two, one for me and one for her.

My sister and I used to make them as kids at our grandfather's house in Midland TX. While swimming. I think those were the only two things we did when we visited. Both activities work well in extreme sun. We also ate vitamins at breakfast time. And rainbow jello.

Um, yes, it is exactly what is sounds like. Jello layered in 'rainbow' flavors. With a finishing touch of cool whip. Chilled and cut into perfect squares. It's delicious and one of these days I'll make it again. Just to make sure it still tastes the same.

She's not even two yet, so I think it might be a bit premature, but I will be happy to help her make one of these floppy little papers and maybe we can share the results.

Guess where this is....


Today I am in beautiful Michigan. This isn't really what I imagine when I think Michigan.
Needless to say, I stand corrected.


Enjoy your Monday!

Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds.


My dearest friend Sharon just came back from a great trip up North and found a yet another treasure that I am dying to go check out. Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company (based out of Missouri) Just opened their first outpost in California. Petaluma to be exact. In an old bank. It's called The Seed Bank, and it looks pretty amazing.

Luckily, I have Sharon who is ridiculously generous with her seeds, but I couldn't resist ordering their 2010 catalog. Thank goodness my husband just tiered out three more beds in our backyard- um yes, by himself. He's amazing and also a little crazy.

Check them out!

And Sharon did the cutest thing with her seed packets while they patiently wait to be planted- but Sharon! The photo is blurry!
